These are marvelous and I'm so glad to see you giving Transistor Sister a run for their money! I'm surprised more people didn't catch onto this idea, but I'm also glad you're doing it. I love recontextualized high-tech stuff used as ornamentation. Humans have been doing stuff like this for tens of thousands of years, but it seems that since the 20th Century, especially in the so-called West, we've moved away from the venerable human tradition of utilizing everyday stuff for personal ornamentation...but that's a rant for another time. I love these pieces: especially the one on the upper right...that one is something I would most definitely wear. It's amazing what you can get away with calling a "tie pin."

Fantastic Jim, and great to hear your putting those chips to use! I think it is so cool to reuse these pieces as Art, as I know mine were used for Art in their working days! :)

I wish I'd come across these before I sent that defunct graphics card to be recycled; you could have had it. I'll keep you in mind for any more bits that give up the ghost! Great creations!
