I found these staple like things on the street, a source of endless bounty if you look at it the right way. I don't know if red was the right choice of color, but today felt like it could a spicy one, so here it is. Materials: found metal, silk and acrylic cords.
looks really nice against the rustic blue tone of the floor planks. It looks ancient from a New England fishing town in the nineteenth century. Something a fisherman's wife could have worn to try to lure her missing husband back from the turbulant sea.
It's great how you're using found objects--I'm impressed at your ability to make lovely art from something that someone else threw away. This particular necklace looks like Red Queen jewelry--I've always imagined the Red Queen the height of gothic elegance.
Thanks, those planks are my front porch, and I'm in the mountains, but what a romantic vision with the fisherman's wife! And a Red Queen! I like those images......
This is my attempt, (and it will either kill me or cure me!) to step away from my commercial training in costume jewelry. To develop a way of creating that is more of a meditation, a practice. One necklace, every day for a year.

ReplyDeleteI keep clicking back to this one . . . my inner Red Queen is fascinated with it.
