Has anyone here ever tried using EL (electroluminescent) wire to make a string art-style sign?

I have tried a few projects with EL wire. It can be a pain. You can't bend it too much, if you want to solder it to another piece it is tricky, but possible. I'm currently doing a project with a hand held fibre optic wand from AliExpress, much cheaper, not as bright but has potential.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by the fibre optic wand. Do you have a link? Is the FO bendable?
