Description: | This brooch is made from anodised aluminium, a transparent and hard wearing coating. The properties of anodised aluminium enable the absorption of certain dyes and inks. Inks applied by rubber-stamping define the design seen on the surface, followed by an immersion in dye to provide the background colour. The inks resist the dye so that the pattern definition remains true. The surface of this brooch is made up of four layers of painted and dyed aluminium. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft jewellery makers contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
