Emotion Sickness

Emotions Can Be Dangerous Necklaces Debut

They make you chew your nails to the quick, unleash wild waterworks, and put your heart in the hands of scoundrels.

Yes, emotions can be dangerous.

Artist/designer/former web developer Sharif Pendleton must be similarly skeptical of the suckers, since he used the phrase to christen his line of acrylic and bamboo laser-cut necklaces.

Pendleton was recently emancipated from The Man and found himself casting about for a creative diversion. His aesthetic is minimal; his tone very much tongue-in-cheek. Look for hearts with cut-out nooses, knives, and guns in red or black enamel or natural colored bamboo.

But that’s not all: He has a collection of coasters, credit card holders, fabric, clocks, and lamps in the works.

We’re feelin’ it.
