Yellow Icon

This pendant is one of a series which use Playplax squares as the main component. Playplax , a construction toy designed by Patrick Rylands in 1966, consists of transparent coloured squares of polystyrene which interlock. We had boxes of Playplax at my primary school I remember loving the jewel like colours and the way you could hold it to you eye and see the world change colour.
