Katie Sola Material Alchemy






So, I decided to make jewellery out of rubbish. I thought this would be interesting because we tend to think of jewellery as being made of precious stones and metals, and I wanted to create adornments out of visually unappealing matter.
My favourite is the cardboard and white foam necklace construction. I made some matching earrings for it. The planes are made out of the boarding pass I flew in on from London, and the other necklace out of different papers - receipts, gum wrappers etc. Finally I made some rough looking rings. At first glance they might be decayed silver or something like that. They're duct tape.
