About Eco-jew and Decorative Objects Xoias, Obxectos Decorativos

Eco-jew and Decorative Objects é unha colección de xoias e pezas decorativas feitas de papel. As pulseiras, colares e obxectos fórmanse a partir de tubos de rolos de papel hixiénico descartados e de papel reciclado feito a man. Todas as pezas son elaboradas manualmente cunha técnica de corte. A produción é levada a cabo por un proxecto de inclusión social en Brasil que atende a persoas de baixos recursos con enfermidade mental e vulnerabilidade social. A colección dá un novo uso a un material que se descarta a diario, e mantén sustentable todo o ciclo, dende o material ata a produción.

Research: It was thinking about how do reuse a material that is discarded every day in the whole world that the first piece of what is now a collection of paper jewelry and decorative objects was born.
This first bracelet was made with the reuse of the toilet paper roll tube.
I wanted the whole cycle to be sustainable, from material to production, and I research about social projects.

Operation Flow: It was because of a nuisance - the garbage we make every day - that the first piece of what is now a line of Eco-jewelry and paper objects was born.
This first bracelet was made with the reuse of the toilet paper roll tube.
I wanted the whole cycle to be sustainable, from material to production, and I went after a social project.
