Making Bitzer’s Heart part 1.
This is the designated sacrificial heart, in which we are going to bugger everything up while we figure out how to transform it into a magic opal.
I secured these hearts thanks to geekhyena [Hi! Let me know when that Paypal goes through :D ] and the postage and handling cost five times the amount the hearts did - give or take a few bucks.
The obvious first problem is that the light cover is white when I want a black opal.
Our first experiments involved nail polish remover, window cleaner, eucalyptus oil, turpentine, and methylated spirits.
The metho seems to be working, very slowly, at turning the plastic clear. dakhur is staying over and has way less reactive skin than I, so I have them polishing the white slowly out of the light cover.
We will later be undergoing an expedition to get the twinkly lights and rigging from Jaycar’s.
Further experiments will involve spray paint, foil, and little mirror tiles.
This is the last time you'll see this heart looking like this. Appreciate the moment.
Reverse side features a nice little hanging hook. Hooray!
No expense was thought of in the making of this heart.
Such advanced circuitry...
