Paper Scale Necklace

I was at an exhibit of student work recently and saw this incredibly creative necklace by Bryn Swain of Mt. View Highschool, Washington. It's made of recycled magazine pages cut to form "scales" and hand sewn onto a braided rope.

Bryn used black and white paper for the top half of the design then finished with colorful pieces.
It's nicely balanced and constructed completely by hand.

What an ingenious way to make a colorful fashion statement from recycled materials. Way to go Bryn!
