Up-cycling Old Coasters

Hello Crafty Friends!

Happy New Year to you all! Hope you've been celebrating well into the new decade. Should you find yourself in need of some motivation, I might just have the right thing for you ...


Literally hot of the press, my little piece of wall art was only finished earlier today. I used a few old and faded coasters as my bases. I've been meaning to up-cycle them for at least a couple of years!

I like to think that I am starting the decade as I mean to go on, hopefully the ups and pretty low downs of the last few years are now well behind us and hopefully we're in calmer waters. I would really like to make more Mixed Media projects like my piece of wall art this year. Fingers crossed I'll find the time.




I am entering my wall art at:
Mix It Up Challenge #33 - Anything Goes, optional twist of paper piecing
Love To Craft Challenge #42 - Anything Goes
A Bit More Time To Craft #107 - Anything Goes

More Mixed Media - Anything Goes, optional twist White

613 Avenue Create #228 - Anything Goes, optional Twist Doodling or Zentangle Art OUR BLOG BADGE
