Circuit-bent Value Village toy — It pretty much sounds like a nightmare, but a few nice tones are achievable. I added a knob that effects the pitch, a mono RCA out, on/off switch, and a switch that changes the capacitor used to play the note. The capacitor switch effects the decay of the note. Who knew?

Things 6-15: Aurora Wine Stoppers
Some more wine stoppers are up on Etsy! This series of wine stoppers are made with opaque colored frit and amber-purple frit, creating the interesting aurora-like pattern embedded in the clear dome. Frit is glass that has been crushed and when used in lampworking, forms patterns of dots. They are approx. 5cm tall and 3cm in diameter, tapering to 2cm at the narrow end.
Doorbell-sounding Toy Synth Circuit Bend: Phase 1
fat beard found this at Value Village for a dollar. Worth every penny. It needed an on/off switch for starters. Looks like I should’ve wired the LED to a voltage source that comes AFTER the capacitor. MORE WORK? YESH MLORD.
