Our very own inimitable Becky Stern makes and sells these beautiful custom scarves featuring the atomic emission spectrum of your favorite element. Shown above is the “silicon” version (as modeled by AdaFruit’s likewise inimitable Limor Fried) but you can choose whichever element/spectrum you like. And here’s a handy-dandy Java applet from The University of Oregon that makes it easy to browse for your selection. Minimalists may prefer hydrogen or helium, but for my money it’s hard to pass up the rainbow-y goodness of, say, iron or tantalum. Want!

Lady Ada’s been busy. The beach a couple weeks ago, and now the snow.
And I LOVE the idea of this scarf. I’m curious if anyone who saw it out in public figured out what it was.
I wish I lived somewhere cold so I could use one. Ne for the win!
