Attention to all who love organic forms, and embryonic imagery:
SPINHANDSPUN is delighted to announce the arrival of a new set of polymer hex buttons, designed, crafted, and out-done by Perishables, an artist who creates her own shipping packages, and uses nature retreats for inspiration. [2010 Update: Perishables is no longer listed as an Etsy store seller]
The next collection of cases will feature her work. Until then, I’ll be rolling these buttons between my fingertips, and relishing their polymer musicality.
