The underside of the soldered board did not have enough surface area to transfer paint onto socks in any meaningful pattern, and the solder nubs were not sufficiently raised for the paint on the board to avoid transferring to the fabric. So, in addition to the original circuit board provided, I grabbed a few more out of some cheap electronics items (Sylvania Dot-It lights and light-up luggage tags). I sewed these onto the leg of the socks above the ankles, which prove to be quite colorful and futuristic fashions. Sewing the boards onto the socks was easier than I suspected, since natural perforations abound.
