Nova Scotian Neckpiece




This is a huge chain made from small oval copper links that have been rolled flat. The links range from about 2.5cm long and increase in size gradually to 5cm. I made all of the links in Cape breton and rolled them flat, opened them up and soldered them together when I got back to Edinburgh. It was about 3 meters long before I knotted the length of it which took it back down to 1 meter.







The chain - I like it's scribbled, hand drawn look.













The Nova Scotian twigs, painted, burnt and rubbed back are threaded through the chain.
