beaded coaster

Before the trip to Boulder at Christmas, I had been hunting for ‘COOL” coasters to buy stateside to bring back. However, without spending a fortune. The only thing that was sort of cool were these stainless steel coasters. I guess not quite cool enough, so I held off. A must stop for me in Boulder is my favorite bead shop Nomad Design on the East Pearl St. Mall. It was there that I found my cool coaster.
They had a basket full of them and a little sign that explained the artist and background. Made by a volunteer doctor who spent a lot of time in the tropics. By his experience there he understood the great need for a coaster (I’m telling you!!) and came up with this design of beading a coaster. I bought one thinking I could easily mimick the design and make a set for the house.
I wanted to modify the design so that it would be a free-floating design without being bound to the leather. After trying peyote stitch circle designs with both seed beads and big beads, and failing that attempt, I decided to give in and string a string of beads and stitch it to a backing. So far, the raw technique is working pretty well, it just needs some elegance and refinement now. With the design being so simple, the patterns, colors and shapes are sort of endless. I heart crafts…
