They are very easy and cheap!

How to make Alcohol Ink Dyed Coasters

I just didn't make them coaster at first. But, then I did and gave them as gifts. I put felt on the back and rubber feet, they were great.

I also edged them with gold paint to give them more of a finished look. In my pictures, some of them hadn't been edged yet.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Let me know if you make them. Easy and fun.

This is so cool!

Deej, you're an artist!

 

[Dana Jean]

Thanks guys. I just see stuff, and then try to make it exactly like I see it, or I do it with a twist. This little wreath is really cute, the picture doesn't do it any justice.

And yeah, I'm only 3% weird.

I know you... that test was flawed!

Here is a craft I saw on the net. I love this person's so much, but she also used a smaller pin, an antique one, or maybe it is duckpin bowling pins? Her's were antique I'm pretty sure.

I went to a bowling alley and apparently they change out pins for league bowling frequently. I asked if they had any and they GAVE me a whole box of them!

Here is the before and after of pin and then the girl.

I also did the guy, but for some reason I don't have a picture of him.

You are blowing my mind away, Dana Jean. You ought to start a craft shop.

Thanks, but I couldn't. these are all other people's ideas. I couldn't sell their ideas. Maybe someday I will have something of my own.

A quote attributed to picasso, but other's as well:

A good artist borrows,
a great artist steals.

I just borrow.

My son has these as bookends.

Those are seriously cute!

Here is the guy. I remember now why I didn't take his picture, he suffers from vitiligo! The wood of this bowling pin took the stain different than the girl. But, she still loves him despite his skin issues.

Sorry - cannot see it (with or without his vitiligo issues) - does he look like Michael Jackson?

Took a workshop this weekend on how to do wet felting. Other than the 6 hours traveling each way to MA, it was well worth it and had a lot of fun. I'm going to need a lot more practice on the hand stitching as I've never done much embroidery work but for a first effort, pleased with the results. Am putting in the pics before felting and then finished (I think ) except for mounting and framing in a shadow box frame.

These are really beautiful...kind of Van Gogh-ish!
