I made a sign for a protest tomorrow - there were so many things I could say that I had a hard time narrowing it down, but this is a decent summary. I didn’t really mean to add LEDs, it just happened because I have piles of them lying around. Thx to @LaserMistress and @wizard for making great hardware and pointing out excellent LEDs to stash for when I have a need like this one.

Fun thing about translucent acrylic - it throws colorful shadows.

Here is where I admit that the red backing for OFF wasn’t planned and covers a mistake. Somehow I managed to remember to adjust the A for a stencil cut but completely missed the O. Oops I was intending on backing the hands because it made the graphic better, so I added it to OFF as well. Red seemed a good choice which made me choose blue for the hands just to throw the colors of our flag into those fascist fake patriot faces.

Here are more pix of the back and me holding it. I also saved the cutouts for making another sign sometime.
