Felt IC looks cuddly

From the MAKE Flickr pool

Origamiwolf crafted this huggable chip using measurements from the OP07 datasheet –

The various traced out parts are then scaled to the desired size, and borders then added for the seams. The chip is padded out with a rectangular foam block, and folded-up strips of aluminium foil are used to strengthen the legs.
The next natural improvement would be to actually embed a real OP-07 within, and have conductive threads sewn into the various legs.

Very sweet. Read more on the Wolf’s Junkyard blog.
