Here’s a black and white collage of photos from the 40s and 50s of women of all ages. The base of the collage is a multilayer assembly of upcycled cardstock (Manila folders, to be exact) approximately 3mm thick, and the dangles are topped by a beautiful faceted black agates on top. It’s very light and airy and will surely be a conversation piece as you wear it.
This is the bigger of two versions. Please check out the Princess version to this Queen.
The collage can be customized for the same price, but will require a longer production lead time. Please send me a message directly.
I always wanted to use bigger elements in my earrings, but was afraid it would be too heavy on the lobes. At the same time, I wanted to experiment with unusual mediums and I have been inspired by the many possibilities of paper. This is the first of a series of paper earrings and accessories. The last photo shows the pieces with the same theme as this: photographs. Other sets made of handmade
paper I had bought in my travels, as well as hand painted and inked paper are also going to be offered in the shop.
Although the paper component has been painted with layers of a sealant, it is water resistant but not waterproof. I would recommend avoiding wearing it when your hair is wet, or in the rain or when you go for a swim. Paper is paper!!
