Absolutely beautiful! I actually bought this set on eBay after it had retired because I don't think there's one out there that compares. Your coloring technique is wonderful and these coasters are going into my CASE file. TFS!

Gorgeous! This set was retired before I found interest in it. Now I stalk e-bay watching for a reasonable price--not easy for a set this great. You've just given me another reason to *need* this set! TFS!

These coasters are gorgeous!! I wish I had this set so I could make some coasters right now!!
I have a question though, when you use the craft ink and blender pens did you need to use any kind of acrylic sealant or anything to make sure that the colors don't run?
No sealant for me. - I have details on the blog, but basically I let the stazon dry overnight (preferably) and then pick up color and paint with blender pen, bake at 375 (usually 5 minutes or so, until completely dry) to set. I have run them under hot water and the color stays just perfectly.
