High-Top Sneaker Enamel Pin (Yom Kippur version)

• Design dimensions: 1.25 in. ×  0.75  in. (3.18 cm. × 1.91 cm.)

Hard enamel pins (also called imitation Cloisonné or Epola), are a kind of enamel pin equivalent to an upgraded version of soft enamel.

The entire inside debossed metal areas are filled by hand with various colored enamels to the same even level of the metal edges. Each color is baked in an oven separately, and the surface is repeatedly polished smooth. The colored areas are even with the metal, creating a smooth and uniform glossy finish.

Studio Ten Design is the creation of artist/designer Jay Thomson. 

Now based in Norfolk, Virginia, Jay spent more than 20 years in Philadelphia, PA. He has designed surface patterns for the Spoonflower and Zazzle online marketplaces since 2011. His interest in surface design grew from a desire to learn how to make his own clothing, since nothing in the stores available at the time suited his style. For over twenty years, he's been making his own shirts and other apparel items. 

Now his designs are available on a wide variety of fabrics for home and apparel, wallpaper, home goods and gift ware. Follow on Instagram: @studiotendesign.
