When I think
of Art Deco architecture, I think of the gorgeous city of
Chicago – one of the most
beautiful cities in the world!
Years ago, I took their architectural cruise (highly
recommended)
and fell in love with the Art Deco
buildings.
Art Deco began as a popular style
of American architecture the 1920s and 1930s. The style
originated as a visual art
movement in France at the beginning of the 20th Century. It
was seen
at the 1925 Paris exposition of
Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts and the 1933-1934
Century of Progress Exposition in
Chicago. Art Deco architecture, sculpture, and decorative
arts
became extremely popular in the
United States during this time. While Art Deco designs vary
widely, buildings are often characterized by: vertical
lines, building setbacks, terracotta, bright colors, and
abstract geometric ornamentation.1
The pendant is made
with components of Cubic Right Angle Weave and Peyote, and
strung on a
unique chain. Project will not be completed
in workshop.
