Printmaker's Long Necklace

The process for this mixed-media necklace, which can be worn long or looped around the neck, begins on an etching press; it's made of tiny collagraphs, the result of textured relief printing processes. The soy-based inks are permanent, and the paper is printed on sturdy, German-made cellulose and synthetic latex. Assembled with vinyl coated stainless steel cable and Czech glass Preciosa beads, it closes with a sterling silver hook clasp.
