Art Coasters for Christmas

I decided that I’d make florescent coasters that glow under black light to sell at the Mistletoe Market at the Conroe Convention Center December 7 (mark your calendars, people!). It turned out that this paint is EXTREMELY difficult to handle but I’m slowly getting the hang of it.  I decided to go with the paint’s strengths and have been working on marbling like they did in Florence on their papers.  I started slow but am really loving the way they’re turning out now.  Here’s one. 🙂

If you are absolutely in love with anything I post let me know!  They’re $15.00 each and I could never duplicate one - each is its own original work of art. 🙂 

Paint Pouring Coasters

Here I made a set of matching coasters and oh, do I love them! 

Because I’m recycling tiles, I decided to leave some of the grout from their previous life on them to give a nod to their past, acknowledging that we need to recycle.  I’m curious what you think of this or would you rather have a perfect edge?  I think of the Amish and how they purposefully put one piece of a quilt in upside down or just ‘wrong.’ Their aim was to point out that the only One who could do anything perfectly is God.  

I really like that one.  Here they are all together; notice the rough edges.  I rather like it.

The color combination is downright carnival-cheery if you ask me.  Hey!  Carnival!  Let it be known these are my carnival coasters!

Honestly, are they too pretty for coasters?  Maybe I should just put hangars on the back.  Doesn’t everyone need tiny four inch art hanging in tiny corners?

Anyway, they’ll be up on my site soon for sale if you don’t grab them first! Do you like the color combo?
