Hemp-motes: Impractical, but fashionable!

Here’s something that showed up in my inbox not too long ago. DHRECK decided that the cold, sleek, white plastic exterior of the Wii Remote wasn’t exactly welcoming, so a few saws, lighters, some sandpaper, glue, and a ball of hemp later, we have what DHRECK dubs the “Hemp-mote.” An impressive mod, to say the least.

It turned out the whole thing wasn’t very practical for playing – the outer shell is now very fragile, and the hemp itself is extremely sensitive to sweat and skin oils. DHRECK’s hemp-mote is, as a result, probably now beginning its life as a shelf display. Nevertheless, should you want to replicate the process or simply admire the tremendous amount of effort poured into the mod, head on past the break to catch a few more glimpses, or check out DHRECK’s site for more!
