Corrugated Paper Brooch by Anne Finlay
I always marvel when a person is able to transform the most rustic form of paper into something sophisticated. Anne Finlay of Scotland is one of those people... she creates fine sculptural brooches from corrugated cardboard. To my way of thinking, cardboard jewelry often looks... well, how do I put this tactfully?... homespun, but Anne's pieces have flair due to their geometric patterns, rich colors, and modern lines.
Anne returned to the studio after a long break and was ready to try something completely new after previously working with plastics. She enjoys the many possibilities paper provides, its flexibility, and the slowness of the process as she glues and shapes the many layers of each piece.
See more examples of Anne's paper jewelry at The Scottish Gallery [edit: artist is not currently listed] You might also find it interesting to see her acrylic and PVC jewelry here... again, very modern and sculptural.
