YES, THESE ARE COASTERS!
Welcome to my Coaster Shop, where you can order photo coasters like the ones I sell at Portland's Saturday Market. You can mix and match any of the images to make a set of your own. The set of four coasters will cost $45.00, shipping in the USA included. Any additional coasters cost $9.00 beyond the set of four. Any coaster can become a magnet at no extra charge - just specify which images you would rather have as magnets, and I will substitute a magnet sheet for the felt backing.
Please e-mail me at [email protected] to order coasters or ask any questions. To see the images available as coasters, take a look at my Coaster Shop Gallery in the Portfolio section of my website. I will try to keep the images available as current as I can - but rest assured that I can produce a photo coaster from any square image on my website or in my blog posts. Thanks again for your interest in my art. I can take payment on Square or PayPal. Since my inventories are pretty spare, I am probably making these coasters just for you. After payment it will probably be less than two weeks until the coasters arrive.
My photo coasters are laminated on 4" x 4" Masonite panels, which are sealed with wood floor finish that will render them very water resistant. The bottom of the coaster is held off the table by a layer of black felt. The photo is laminated, so it will hold up very well, like a restaurant menu. I have sold nearly 16,000 coasters over the past ten years, and have had about one hundred returns. Thus I will guarantee any coaster - if one fails, send the coaster base back in the mail and I will make another for you. You will only have to pay for the postage to me and back.
In general, try to keep coasters out of the rain or snow, or lose them in the sink, or let your dog chew them. Otherwise they should be fine. When I have tested them by trying to destroy them (leaving the coasters in the sink for a few days), the funny thing is that the felt will eventually fall off, the Masonite will warp, but the laminated photo will still be perfectly fine.
And by the way, just because they are coasters does not preclude them wall display. A couple of 1/2" Velcro squares will do. The tooth Velcro will hold onto the felt, and the adhesive will hold onto the wall. Any possible damage to your paint is still better than a nail hole. These images show an installation in my bathroom - the coasters are pristine after five years of bathroom humidity.
