Something completely different now, chunky 'arty' aluminium, but we don't get many chances to get the Aluminium Tag dusted off, so it's overdue! I saw these Tilnar Art products, at the Spring Fair in Birmingham, back in early February, and loved the fact that they had the same deep, metallic lustre as those Jada figures I like, so here they are!
Various products, including dinosaurs and penguins.
Longhorn Cattle, or not so shaggy Highlanders!
Deer.
Also drilled for keychains.
Love these, deep, almost glassy-red Elephants, in various sizes!
Art Deco'esque Elephants!
A blue family of the other design, just visible in the background.
Puffins.
relief-flat Angels.
I had a chat with the chap behind Tilnar, and it seems to be pretty-much a one-man band, although there were staff, so a growing enterprise, and by using recycled aluminium, helping to try and save the planet!
Obviously aimed at the gift and tourist markets, expect to find them in little bijou boutiques about the place, or gift-shops, while on your travels.
