A mashup of some found stuff, I did the masterful finger painting on the disc though. Reminds me of the eighties a little bit. I started in costume jewelry in the early nineties, a period where grunge was in and there was no jewelry being used on the runway or in magazines. Not helping an already flagging manufacturing industry in New York and Rhode Island. A lot of businesses folded in that period.(Thanks a lot, Marc Jacobs...) Anyway, I'd work with more seasoned designers who used to wistfully recount how easy the accessories business was in the eighties, anything on a string would sell and the streets were paved with gold....
Materials: hand painted clear disc, found spring, rayon chenille yarn, rayon ribbon.
