“Say What?!?” Recycled Newspaper Statement Necklace

Sometimes the newspaper says it all.

Playful, expressive and impossible to overlook, the “Say What?!?” Statement Necklace transforms fragments of the daily newspaper into a conversation piece filled with humor, personality and unexpected juxtapositions.

Each necklace is composed of individually handmade elements created from recycled newspaper comic strips, news headlines, words and phrases. Expressive comic-strip characters appear alongside fragments of text—questions, exclamations and snippets of language that seem to give each character a voice and create little conversations throughout the necklace.

The result is a wonderfully animated piece of wearable art. Viewed from a distance, the necklace creates a bold, sculptural silhouette. Up close, it invites you to explore the individual characters, words and phrases and discover the tiny stories hidden within the composition.

Because every necklace is created from different sections of newspaper, each “Say What?!?” necklace is truly one of a kind. The characters, headlines and phrases will vary, making every piece its own spontaneous collage of popular culture, language and humor.

Despite its dramatic scale, the necklace is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable to wear, allowing it to make a substantial visual statement without substantial weight.
