## DIY REZZ Glasses

[REZZ](http://officialrezz.com/) is a Canadian DJ and producer of electronic dance music. Her trademark eye-wear feature LED animations that appear like swirls that spin and change color. Her music can be streamed on [soundcloud](https://www.soundcloud.com/officialrezz). She also has videos and images up on her [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/officialrezz).

## NeoPixel Triple-Rings

These rings have 44 through-hole NeoPixel LEDs. The outside has 24, inner ring has 16 and the center has 4. All of the NeoPixel rings are on one board, which makes it easy to wire. The NeoPixel LEDs are diffused so they look soft and easy on the eyes.
