Blinking Fox

A fox-shaped glove on a hand, LED lit at the mouth

Blinking Fox
This is an idea from my friend Nakata-san.

Opening and closing the mouth to make the LED blink

Open and close the mouth with a little knock, and the eyes blink.
There's a coin battery at the wrist,
and electrical contacts stitched with conductive thread on the thumb and index finger.
When the fingers touch, it turns on.
