to burn tin plate with a blowlamp until the surface becomes iridescent Explanation: blikplade = tin plate according to Vinterberg & Bodelsen iron sheet or sheet metal plate according to L&H www.ordbogen.com has all the suggestions too. What you choose depends on your register and context. Probably many artists have produced this effect. I've even done it myself (by accident) by leaving an empty steel saucepan on a hot electric ring! ;-) |
