COASTERS PART ii
I spent today prepping all the various coasters I've gathered, in readiness for the fun part ... the stamping. This one was china and a tad awkward as it has a raised edge ... I have enough trouble stamping on a flat surface! Strangely, these seem to be turning out a dream. DD Hannah saw this and put in a request for a set for her new house in Brighton which I saw for the first time last weekend. I went to uni in Brighton as a mature student and Han, then 8 years old and I lived on campus for a year. The young students all loved her and used to take her shopping down the lanes while I was studying. Its always felt like a second home to us and now I have lots of reasons to make the trip more often.
Oh, this is marvelous, Penny! I have no idea how you could stamp so well with there being a raised edge! Well done! Is there some sort of sealer put on after the stamping?
ReplyDeleteHappy memories for you - and now Hannah's lives in Brighton so there must be happy memories for her too!
ReplyDeleteI too have no idea how you have stamped so successfully with the raised edge - totally flat still presents problems for me! I'm loving these coasters, keep 'em comin'.

Thankyou Ladies! I'm on a bit of a roll with these. I seem to get in a groove and then ... get stuck in it... doing same thing over and over! Yvonne, I just paint one coat of matt varnish over the surface. Totally invisible but, makes it wipe cleanable! Jo, I've got no idea either! tee hee xxx
ReplyDeletePenny these are fabulous ! Will you do enough to sell a few ?
ReplyDeleteThey are TOTALLY Brighton ! I used to work in Dukes Lane & love Brighton & have very dear friends there but never get back ..... I must I must !
Penny, you're right you must! You'd have a great time. I'm flattered you think these would sell! I wouldn't know where to start so I'll probably give them as Xmas gifts. What did you do in Dukes Lane? x
