These clips are made from the very bottom of the plastic bottle. The center is a vintage button securely sewn on to a piece of salvaged fabric, then super glued to the plastic bottom. Under, there is a new clip that is also super glued to a small piece of salvaged fabric and then glued to the plastic! This clip has been decoupaged with random pieces of a magazine. The result is amazing, like a mini collage you can wear!

Watch how they shot the video (decidedly NOT effortless) here.
Pick a tag, topic, subject – heck, pick a word, any word. Pop it into the Symmetry Explorer search bar and Flickr will find pictures and automagically create mirrored pairs. The results range from interesting to downright weird. If you don’t have time to waste, do not click on the link! Symmetry Explorer
This looks like an interesting idea for a ring, yes?
Here is the original image from Arwen Abendstern’s Flickr photostream – a coffee mug with a single stem of chrysanthemum.
Might be a way to explore unusual shapes and patterns – take a look at the results from the word ‘felting’.
