Factal LED Tutorial

This tutorial covers some of the fabrication of the Dr. Livingston sculpture - including how the fractal head was made, but particularly the replacement of the low wattage light bulb in the fractal head with LED lights.

The Dr. Livingstone sculpture body was fabricated using ferrocement which is covered in detail in other tutorials that can be viewed here:

The fractal head for this sculpture was made of thin slices of natural stone originally designed for making 35mm slides viewable in a projector. The sculpture stones were salvaged from the scraps left over. These slides and stones were inherited by my father and then myself from the person that actually made the natural stone slides – can't remember his name. You can view some of the stone slides here:
