PENDANTS

A couple of weeks ago I made a small collection of handmade buttons. I intended to use them for necklaces, and I did... but to my annoyance the buttons were hanging up side down all the time.

So today I made some new ones with only one hole, I should call them pendants now.
I used polymer clay, and mixed colors to create my own style and palette.

After baking them half an hour in the oven at 110 degrees Celcius I splash the pendants into ice cold water so they become real hard. 

The next step is to assemble the pendants with a cord and maybe vintage buttons or nice beads. I'll show you the results later. 
And for the ones who live close, I will sell the necklaces in our ECO pop-upstore.

On Sunday 30 September from 11 till 17h. ++Plustwee (my new collaboration with textile designer Marjolein Perin) will participate in a ONE DAY SALE-EXHIBITION in "theeschenkerij Homanshof" in Anloo.
This will actually be one of the last occasions in which our new collection of cushions can be bought directly from us. In the very near future our products will be part of the Young&Hanson collection. We are very proud and pleased about that! So please come and pay a visit in Anloo on the 30th.
