Coasters for Sale

These are SO BRIGHT! I’m making coasters for an upcoming Christmas show that positively glow under black light. Pretty much loving these. I’m not planning on posting them on my website as I think they’ll pretty much all sell at the Mistletoe Market in December. If you’re positively in love with any let me know and I’ll set them aside for you. Are there any that are your runaway favorites?

I like this one... it looks a little froggy to me.

This one looks like you could literally reach into it.

Maybe my favorite with all those lovely colors...

Really cool in a butterfly wing kind of way.

Well, what can I say about these awesome colors? LOVE!

This one looks like a gentle flowing waterfall to me.

Anyway, if there’s anything you love, let me know at colorcatstudios@gmail.com and I’ll set it aside for you. My plan is to give them all a glossy resin top. :) ❤️

Paint Pour Coasters in the Works

I’ve been working on paint pouring, recycling old tiles to make coasters. I’m curious which one you like the best.

Please vote for numbers 1, 2, 3 or 4. This helps me decide on future works - thanks! I can get lost in the swirls and patterns - this girl needs a little help. I’ll be popping them onto my website in a month when I get them sealed, just in time for super cool Christmas gifts. :)

I’ve got a closeup of each one so you can get a good look at the swirls and colors...

I really like it that they’re on tiles that I’ve recycled. We’ve gotta help this world!

Oh man, I love the following one. It reminds me of sand and sea.

This last one is so cool! The colors and patterns are endless and just SUCK ME IN. :)

ANYWAY, check out my website colorcatstudios101.etsy.com for all kinds of goodies, and look for these in about a month. :) 👀

Creative Hands Coasters

Here’s the second in my new series of coasters! I put my treasured Bob Ross keychain that one of my students gave me next to it for size comparison. This is a photo of my hands holding a pot of charcoal. The pot is a reproduction of the ones Rembrandt used, which we purchased in his home/museum in Amsterdam. These coasters are now available in my shop for $8.00 each. Think about them for gifts as well as for yourself.

Turkish tour

Another look at those natural color-sources. I asked about cochineal, because you couldn't just have that on a shelf, and yes, their deep reds are cochineal. It's a South American insect that is a parasite to the prickly pear. Owners deposit them into their fields, and blow them off and collect them once they're big. Then they crush their fat, bloody bodies for a nice, natural, red dye. I'm so happy to report that the rug we purchased has cochineal in it. I'm also happy to report that it's likely in your lipstick and blush, ladies, and if you drink cherry coke - it's in there, too! :)

'My' Chair

At our theatre the other night we had an orchestra meeting after I taught my sets class. After about a half hour, someone pulled me out of the meeting for a few minutes. When I came back, everyone in the room was laughing and pointing to the nice, uh, black leather chair. I had paint on the back of my shirt, and it permanently smeared all over the leather! The last time I went in the office, I noticed that someone had taped up the sign you see here. One way to lay claim to something! Well, it's not the first time, let's see, there's my driveway with many colors of paint, our carpet with Peter Pan green footprints, my car with yellow paint on the seat, my gloves, half of my clothes. It seems like everyone likes my painted clothes, kind of like already-broken-in-jeans. Maybe I should start a clothing line!
