i first saw kate cusack’s zipper pins on polymer clay daily last year and i thought the pins were one of those simple-yet-brilliant ideas. take a look at what this innovative artist is doing with zippers now! her one of a kind zipper necklaces are elegant and sophisticated – not words usually associated with the ‘fascinating fasteners’, as she calls them.

cusack raises an interesting point about working with zippers when she says, “It’s ironic that most fashion designers try to hide or disguise zippers in their creations. I love zippers’ shiny metal teeth and I want to show off, not hide, their sparkle and their sinuous flexibility.”

be sure to take a look at cusack’s plastic wrap art too…she certainly knows how to keep her art fresh!
