This is a 4x4 inch square coaster featuring the design - Fallen Leaves - which is an original watercolor painting by Olga Cuttell. The coaster has a cork bottom and rounded corners. I painted the original artwork and then I apply a miniaturized print to the coaster using a process called dye sublimation. The result is a strikingly colourful and remarkably durable coaster made right in my studio in BC Canada. It is resistant to heat, cold, moister and even impact and scratching. My daughter figured out how to chip one when she used it as a Frisbee and it hit a sharp metal corner. Available with or without a Mahogany wood 4-piece coaster stand.
Coasters can be bought as sets of four identical pieces or as a single; for the purpose of mixing and matching your own set. I certainly don't object to selling a single unmatched coaster, but I always think it's a shame to enjoy it alone. If you are mixing and matching, and want a stand, be sure to only order the stand once. It really does turn the coasters into a show piece.
The original piece was done using an acrylic ink on watercolor paper. The technique is very similar to watercolor but tends to keep more vibrant hews and dries permanently to the paper; enabling me to create layered pieces that would be impossible with watercolor. The original is currently available for sale; feel free to contact me for details.
