A method of adorning an article including the steps of: providing a first layer; cutting the first layer along a first border edge that surrounds a discrete piece of the first layer; separating the discrete piece of the first layer from a remaining portion of the first layer to thereby produce a void within the first border edge; providing a pre-formed insert piece configured to fit within the void and having a second border edge having a shape that conforms to a shape of at least a portion of the first border edge; directing the insert piece into the void with the void and insert piece pre-aligned so that the second border edge is placed against or immediately adjacent to the first border edge where the first and second border edge shapes conform; with the insert piece directed into the void, fixing the insert piece and remaining portion of the first layer together to define an adornment assembly; and integrating the adornment assembly into an article to adorn the article.

A method is for manufacturing a part including a support made of an electrically non-conductive material, the support being provided with at least one recess filled with an aesthetic element made of an electrically conductive material, and the aesthetic element forms a decoration on a side of the part that is intended to be visible. The method includes inlaying by pressing a preform intended to form the aesthetic element into the at least one recess of the support, and treating the surface of the aesthetic element. The at least one recess opens in one or more places onto a side of the part that is intended to be non-visible, to respectively form one or more contact points for carrying current across the aesthetic element during the surface treatment.

The invention relates to an easily personalized magnetic stirrer (1), which has a base body (2). The hood (5) can be put over this base body (2). The receiving space (6) for inserting a decorative inlay is then formed between the hood (5) and the base body (2). The receiving space (6) and a decorative inlay (7) inserted therein can be viewed from the outside through an at least area-wise transparent set-up area (4), which is arranged or formed on the hood (5) (see FIG. 1 for comparison).

A manufacturing method for a board for a stringed instrument that is used as a top plate or a back plate of an acoustic stringed instrument such as a violin, where the board has a purfling, includes forming, for instance, a groove with a depth that is 20% or more and less than 60% of a thickness of the board for a stringed instrument, filling the groove with a resin in which, for instance, colored particles having a diameter of 3 ?m or more and less than 70 ?m are dispersed and which has a degree of elongation of 20% or more, removing the resin that has flowed out of the groove, and curing the resin.

The presently disclosed subject matter relates generally to a marquetry template and methods of use thereof for creating a marquetry artwork. The marquetry template comprises an up to scale design. The design comprises design elements which are partly pre-cut and a user can easily cut them completely out of the template, thus creating cutouts and openings in the template. The cutouts, and/or openings, are used to produce suitably-sized pieces of material to be fitted in the openings of the template, thus creating a marquetry artwork.
