More or less finished, anyway. I originally did a poor job centering the "Carnival" motif on its backing, so I tried pulling it off and redoing it. Needless to say, this rendered the adhesive on the coaster components useless, so I tried fixing it with glue. Didn't work. I was able to make it look presentable for the photo, but if I were to pick the coaster up, the cork bottom would fall off. I will have to get another coaster and do it all over. Since the coasters are sold in sets of four, I will also try to redo the "Alladin" one to center it better. Me and my perfectionism. Don't worry, the tatting is undamaged.
In the meantime, I have started the tatting for the next set. I think Diane will like this one.
Lucky recipient of those four coasters.
ReplyDeleteLove the all-blue motif!

Your coasters are beautiful! I understand your need for perfectionism. After all, it's something you'll look at often. Still, a blind man on a galloping horse would never notice... so says my mom!
ReplyDeleteOoh! Masquerade in blue! Yes, indeed... I am looking forward to this set! ; )
I have a ton of acrylic coasters that I bought several years ago. I only finished a few, because I became frustrated with the fact that the cork back didn't stay attached.
Years ago, I used glass coasters for cross-stitch pieces, and they stayed together much better. They're very pricey, though.
They are looking lovely, And the designs are gorgeous, well done,
ReplyDeleteI do like your next motif design

the coasters have come out very nicely. the new motif is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking coasters, Miranda! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThose plastic coasters are a real pain. I had the same problems with them and I do not have a solution. The backings never stay on. Crazy glue?
Fox : )
I love these coasters - and your motifs look great!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the new motif.
ReplyDeleteI think your coaster look wonderful!!! And the blue motif is awesome too!! :)
ReplyDeleteVery festive! I struggle with that same perfectionism. It flows over to my business, too, because I can't sell it if it isn't perfect! Needless to say, there are always a few I get to keep. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You've chosen some very pretty motifs to use, too. I need to hunt down some of those coasters.
