Tribal Jewelry
The final project was to create three themed objects made from paper. It was important for me to make something wearable, so I began to research handmade jewelry from different cultures. To no surprise, African tribes use brightly colored materials, mostly from nature. Many recycle paper products such as magazines and newspaper to create vibrant, tightly wound beads. I used the same concept to create a beaded headband, earrings, and neck piece.The three objects are worn from the neck up to make the them easily relatable.
