Life of Pi Ep.91: I played Mozart and stitched the bee a friend.
A musical fidget slider plays Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik one push at a time, and every note pokes a needle through the cloth and stitches one more petal, while a real bee keeps trying to sip from a flower made of thread. This is an echoPi video. echoPi is an EDC fidget slider and pocketable instrument: its clicks are real physical stops you can set up in the app, and every click can play a note. Turn the sound off and it becomes a quiet fidget for the office. echoPi is in development.

Embroidery. Every slide on Pi's lid plays the next note of Eine kleine Nachtmusik, and every note pokes the needle through and stitches one more petal, clockwise from the top. A bee lands again and again, trying to sip from a flower made of thread.
The last push stitches the centre, the stem and an embroidered bee. The real bee falls for it, until the stitched one peels itself off the cloth and flies away, leaving a ring of needle holes.
Music: Mozart, K. 525 (1787), public domain, own arrangement.
