Branding Experiments in the Dark

I’ve been playing with how far I can push the SOME DOSE identity—off fabric, off screen, into physical, weird little objects. Today’s test: branded buttons made from glow-in-the-dark polymer clay.

I used the rubber logo stamp I made last year, rolled out the clay, pressed it in like a seal. Baked it. Let it cool. Now it glows faintly in the dark like it knows something.

It still needs to be sanded down and glazed. Right now it’s a bit rough—like most things at this stage—but the bones are there.

It’s not perfect, but that’s kind of the point. I’m figuring it out as I go. Seeing what works. Seeing what breaks. This is part of how I build—tiny rituals, strange materials, trial by heat. And every one of these experiments folds back into the clothes.
