Casette tape brooch pin - hand painted wooden badge
Casettes were critical to the DIY mindset of punk and post punk, they were the only affordable way for 80s kids to capture music and have it on demand. They also looked like they were history. But they've staged a comeback casette tape sales have been doubling year on year - so depending on your age they may be a sentimental throwback or a on trend cult item! So if you're looking for a small gift or stocking filler for an old punk, gen-x music fan or millenial hipster or urban trendsetter, this might be a great quirky gender neutral option!
It's about 4.5cm wide - but it would still make a big statement on a jacket or bag. He’s cut from sustainable 3mm ply the edges have a sandwich effect.
It has been painted with acrylic paint and then has a light coating of non-yellowing varnish to ensure that colours stay bright. The varnish provides protection from damp and knocks (that said, it hasn't been designed for a soaking - so don't try sticking it in the washing machine). On the back there is a brooch clasp which has been attached with super strong glue to keep things in place.
Because it's hand painted each bird is just a little unique, so your pin may vary a smidge from the one in the photo.
It's presented on a card in a small box - both of which are made from recycled card and it comes in plastic-free packaging as I'm trying to be one of the good guys.
