In a discussion with Samantha Vincent, she informed me that aluminium can be anodized which is a process I thought could only be done to titanium. The process of anodizing aluminium is a process where acid and dye is used to change the colour of the metal. Therefore I can change the colour of the mesh I use in my platinum piece making the leaf skeleton appear more realistic. To get an idea of what it could look like I edited the photo of my prototype.
