Etsians accessorise technology icons

With the increasing popularity of Etsy, the online community for buying & selling handmade crafts, sees the growth of sellers turning some of our greatest 21^st Century technology icons into accessories and art.

Some of my favourite examples are the painstakingly detailed earrings, bracelets and cufflinks made by The Clay Collection in the guise of Xbox and Playstation controllers and even iPods, aptly categorized as Jewelry Geekery!

Then there’s the female artist, who confesses to once believing that all mobile phones are made equal; that was until the iPhone! Paying homage to her new iPhone, she’s designed a set of greeting cards for girl’s who hug their iPhones with the slogan: ‘This above all: to thine iPhone be true.’

As for technology meets art, meets environmentally responsible clothing, the t-shirt line from Binary Winter features ‘Code Green’. A feminine, green silk-screen binary design, which sums up their beliefs that technology and sustainability are not mutually exclusive.

We’ll definitely return to Etsy in the future as we follow the creative talent that not only keeps up with fashion but our technology icons. Who knows we might be seeing t-shirts adorned with slogans of the like: “My Dream Lover is an Android”
