Love Poetry small nylon earrings

These earrings are from the Love Poetry range, which swiftly followed the Newsprint collection. Made by collaging sections of hand written 19^th century romantic poetry (invited friends to do this, they were not original!) to make a silk screen. The old style process! Dye resists have been screenprinted onto the nylon. Each of the earrings have been twice dyed by hand, so the text is scarlet with graduated orange edging. It has a fine matt surface on both sides similar in appearance to frosted glass as the nylon has been glass-bead blasted (a similar process to sand blasting but much finer). The silver earposts of the earrings are soldered onto a brass cast unit held within the Love Poetry nylon top section. The small cast unit has a raised bead. 2.5 cm diametre.
