COASTER TILES
I found the coolest leaf stamp at Big Lots the other day, for only $.60, and it's huge. It barely fit on these 4x4 ceramic tiles, which I turned into coasters. I will be adding felt to the bottoms of each tile for furniture protection soon. As you may or may not know, ink of any kind does not stick well to any type of ceramic surface, so I first treated each tile with gel medium and then stamped the image over that. I used black acrylic paint around the leaf. I then (so far) sprayed about 8 coats of clear lacquer over each tile. I'm still adding coats of lacquer to see just how tough I can get them, surface wise. This was a really fun and inexpensive project.
