Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag

I was very kindly given a rather nice satchel recently with specific instructions to go forth and customise. This is a great idea and something that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I’ve been customising t-shirts for a while now but have always wanted to add a bit of functionality to my designs and the bag is the perfect way to experiment.

Its the features that I need to work out first before I get all artistic on it. I was recently shown how to extract the chip out of the Oyster card allowing you to insert it into practically anything (I’ve seen it built impressively into a watch) and would love to add this as one of the features to my bag.

    Yes, but how can you re-charge it when it’s not in a card?

    Yes you can, thats the magic of it. The chip’s extracted from the card along with its aerial so it allows you to ‘top it up’.
