For My Son

[Messman]

Well my son is into this ting called GEO Caching. It is where you go out and find a GEO Cache using a GPS that other people have hidden. Any way he wanted to set up his own Cache and I told him I would make a first find gift for him and made 2 sets of Geo Cache coasters, a set for him to keep and a set to place in his cache which he designed with a borrowers (the movie) theme. I really like the way they came out specially since they were the first coasters I have ever made. I used cork for the backing. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Comments always welcome.

Very nice Chris. My parents were doing that a couple of years ago. The coasters are a neat idea. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Nice work Chris - I really like the design. My only comment is that they may not be too practical in use as the the fine details might get crunched and broken. Would it be worth having look at flooding the design with some clear resin once the back's on?

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

 

@ Helen...I actually had that same concern. They are actually stronger than they look. I will probably never make another set of these unless something were to happen to the set my son kept for himself, but I do like the resin idea, although I might actually go with a bake clay fill to bring in the GEO colors.
