Gwen's Scissors

My final project was a fan peice of a vide game character, gwen. The concept was a scissors thats LED's light up brighter proportional to the speed of the scissors being opened and closed

I started by sketching out the design and peices of the scissors on inkscape.

Here's the final look of the project
