I bought these coasters from a pound shop a while ago. I had no idea at the time what I would do with them but I loved the colour and chunkiness of the wood. I bought 3 sets of 4 (wish I'd bought more now!)
One of my New Year's resolutions was to make some artwork just for myself, rather than with the aim of exhibiting/selling it, and I thought it would be interesting to have 12 mini pieces of art on wood, all hung together! So I've started playing around with adding images to them ...

I'm quite pleased with them so far - especially considering they were only 25p each!

They look wonderful and what a bargain! It's nice sometimes to step back and do something just because you want to.xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Dotty :-) And yes it is quite liberating just to make something that only has to please yourself! x
DeleteWhat a find those were! Such a good idea, Angie! I think that you have to get more...these could be the bginning of a whole new exhibit, lol! I am serious though, wouldn't it be fun to chose and collect from your line of mini artworks?
ReplyDeleteHope you are well my friend...♥ ♥ ♥
Thanks Lisa, I am well and hope you are too x
DeleteThe coasters are lovely aren't they? They seem to be out of stock now sadly but I've been hunting for something similar! x
Just strolling by to see what ja been up too! I see lots of good stuff going on here. Now I am going to have to make myself some of those cool wood coasters or wall hangings! Such a great idea, I have a place on my wall that needs just this. I will have to look for some wood now.
ReplyDeleteLove my creative friends, I hope you are having the beginnings of an amazing summer!
