The Collar.
Materials: Paper Mache, Silver Cutlery, Beads, Wire, Plate, Tape Measure, Ribbon
Both of my necklaces are made from items found within the home (the stereotypical place women, historically, are represented in).
Necklace one is made out of silver cutlery to represent their place as home-makers. It also has a ribbon fastening to show women’s role in historic society as well. The second necklace is made from a decorative plate that people usually collect and hang on the walls. This was chosen to show how women historically were treated like possessions instead of people.
