Mixed Media Necklaces
...and we mean MIXED!

A fabulous collaboration of unique gifts, jewelry, functional art and time pieces
made by Myra Anson Nicholas and P.J. Sweeney

Combining digital imaging with traditional hand-fashioned jewelry and new materials in a contemporary collage effect to create truly innovative multi-media wearable art pieces.

Wild and wacky, these one-of-a-species necklaces use everything from brass and copper wire, glass and stone beads to cast plastic resin and galvanized steel.

Custom orders in a variety of designs and color combinations available, and we'll try to emulate certain styles you see here upon request, but a handful of adjectives does better than a list of ingredients. The plastic resin is cast with designs matching the background graphic.

MUTLI-DIMENSIONAL NECKLACES: Each is a one-of-a-kind piece, the first two to three inches are either beaded or hooked to decorative and unusual necklace chain ending in a lobster-style clasp. The piece is then detailed to create an unforgettable piece of art. The base for these necklaces depend on the size, weight and shape desired. Everything from cd's cut into wedges to wood shapes and hardware cloth. Different finishes are used on these multi-dimensional pieces, a glossy laminated, matte, and a pearlized luster finish.

WOVEN NECKLACES: The strips of abstract art are original creations by Myra Anson Nicholas, using Adobe Photoshop and various filters. The digital paintings are output on a digital press, then laminated and woven into hardware cloth. The pieces are then finished with glass beads, polyester resin-cast cabachons and wrapped wire.

Retail pricing: $38 to $60
Custom orders accepted.

EARRINGS: Pendant earrings to complement the piece are available. Surgical steel and hypo-allergenic nylon posts are used.

The designs used in making these pieces are original art by Myra Anson Nicholas, created using Adobe Photoshop.
