I can't figure out exactly how the word ART is painted/attached... in soft enamel pins all of the raised portions have to be the same color metal-- in this case, black.
@stereoplex Is it either a) etched out of the enamel, or b) crappy old Letraset adhesive letters? Or maybe stick-on letters removed after baking leaving enamel-free letter-shaped areas?
@stereoplex @LordJohnWhorfin I'll post pictures at some point but the white "ART" is printed(ostensibly) directly onto the purple background surface. Whereas the text on either side is raised and the surface painted.
The best part is that, as @ian_crowther pointed out the text blocks aren't centered, on mine the "ART" is crooked. ;-P. I truly don't mind as it makes it that much more a personal piece. It's really well done otherwise.
(ps @stereoplex I received your pins too and will post pics once the holiday hubbub dies down. They are even nicer than I could have hoped so i wanted to thank you while I had a chance.)
