Inlay involves the embedding of relatively soft metals such as gold and silver into a harder ground made of materials such as copper, iron, and brass. In this textile imprint inlay (nunome-zogan) thin sheets of gold, silver or lead are hammered into a fine mesh-like grid engraved on to the surface of the metal ground.At one time, this craft was in danger of dying out; however, the number of artisans who use the technique has gradually increased with the boom in traditional art in recent years. artist: Wataru Yamazaki, born in Japan, 1978

    Daily Obsesh: Daytime Dazzle

    by PatriciaPatricia

    Many people shy away from metallics during the daytime and save the glitters for the evening. However, it is never too early to add a little bit of dazzle to your daily outfit. That is exactly why we love this white jacket with gold lining on the sleeve that is featured in the Girl's Life magazine. Simple and chic white fitted jacket is accented with sparkling metallic gold on the sleeve, making this jacket more attractive. Match it with simple or soft colored bottom to complement the bright top, or go all out with stylish prints or little bit more sparkle.
