Costume Jewelry Collage

Surinta Abraham
For this project, Surinta used costume jewelry that belonged to her late mother. For years, these items had been packed into a jewelry box, so she thought that this would be a nice way to display some of the less valuable pieces.

First, she selected the pieces, keeping to a general matte gold theme. She decided to stick to chains and a couple of ear rings.

Surinta started off by covering a canvas with beige acrylic paint, using a sponge. She then used brown acrylic paint to create random designs on the canvas and light-brown tile grout as an adhesive to stick the jewelry pieces onto the canvas.

The canvas will be framed using a dark brown frame and hung on a wall in her room.
