What a fun idea. I don't know the technology needed to make them viable coasters. Here is a picture of some I bought in a market in Berlin. They have photos and then some cork matt on the back. They are nice I think. If you could do this! You could make a photo collage Wall or something too and 200 tiles would be used up quick smart!
The 'bulk deal' indeed fell through due to shipping cost.. So if you want, ping me a mesg with your details and I'll send you one of the small boxes as pictured. I dunno what it costs, we can sort that later.
I should be able to post it Thursday. You can let people know if they are any good
Is there no river in Nyon?
You can see my next post.. "Fined for throwing glass in the lake"
"..after hours."
What did you do with the coasters, in the end? Did someone put them to good use?
Bring them to your local IKEA store. Stack them on a shelf somewhere, walk away. Observe from a safe distance how some dumb checkout employee tries to work out the price.
sorry for tangent here- but do you still want Chrismas cards - been saving them for 2 years for you, lol.
You could sandwich a nice Christmas picture between 2 of them?
I bought 10 of them and they're pretty nice. They give that nice glass-to-glass contact surface for swirling your big 80 cl wine glasses on.
I've been handing them out at the office as well - they're cutely wrapped in tissue paper and make nice little gifts. And no more OCD angst as somebody plants a sticky coffee cup on my desk...
If you're up for giving them away, do you think a local school could do an arts project with the coasters? Carrying out your wife's original artistic vision.
Maybe they could decorate them and give them to their parents or grandparents as a holiday gift at the end of the year (each kid would make a set of four or eight).
Or instead of a school, you could give them to one of the Gemeinschaftszentrum community center places and they could do an arts project with them.
