more paper jewelry – this time from finnish artist janna syvanoja. the brooch below was made from finnish phone books. here’s what she says about her work:
“The process of making my recycled paper jewellery pieces, involves a slow, “natural” technique. By curving each slice of paper around the steelwire, one by one, one after another, it is as if the piece grows into its shape by itself. This way the character of wood, paper’s original material, is preserved in the piece – as is also the association to the whole organic world, the way it builds itself, being in constant change, traveling in time.”
anybody taking notes?
amazing work, what fabulous innovation.
Both this and the last one remind me of Cynthia Toops rolodex series in Polymer clay. Regards, nt
