Faye named her frame ‘The Tinker’, based on a maquette made of tin foil. Cut from double-thickness acetate, the handmade spectacle parts were dipped in liquid acetone and heated, causing the surface layer to bubble and fold, before being pressed and textured by hand. Finally, the frame was treated with a silver-effect coating, to recreate the tin foil appearance of the original model.
