That's what costume designer, sculpture, and multi-media artist Kate Cusack did with zippers and jewelry. If, like me, you went gaga over <a href="http://fabsugar.com/2567243" >Kate Bosworth's eco-chic zippered Philip Lim dress</a>, you too can have your own zipper flair. </p> <p><a href="http://www.katecusack.com/zippers.html" target="_blank">Kate Cusack Zipper Jewelry</a> uses both gold (brass) and silver (aluminum) zippers and twists and turns it into fresh necklaces, flowered brooches, and conversational bracelets. All items are hand-sewn and oodles of colors are available. The necklaces range from $400-$1000, the bracelets $100-$400, and the brooches $70-$85. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5175959" target="_blank">Check out Kate's etsy store to buy</a> the goods. </p> <p>To see more of Kate's cool zipper jewelry, read more</p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.fabsugar.com/2643383'>View 7 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.fabsugar.com/2638473#comment Glitterati Zippers Kate Cusack Wed, 31 Dec 2008 09:00:08 -0800 FabSugar http://www.fabsugar.com/2638473 http://www.fabsugar.com/2643383 <a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/2643383"><img width=160 height=133 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/0/3987/52_2008/8d096d98de48baac_bracelets_0006.large.jpg'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/2643383'></a> </div> <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/2643383?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.fabsugar.com/2643383#comment Sat, 27 Dec 2008 11:46:05 -0800 FabSugar http://www.fabsugar.com/2643383
