These are abundant and cheap in the thrift stores. I’m experimenting with decoupage - drowning them in paint, perhaps coating these coasters with a layer of epoxy, collage on canvas.

This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Goodwill wants $3 a book now, unless I go to the outlet (and that’s crowded). Gotta go to the non mega corp places, where books are maybe a quarter. It’s difficult to leave Goodwill with any cool spending less than $15 nowadays, but the smaller places often will mark things like art supplies, frames, and trinkets to a $1 or 0.25.
I’m trying to recontextualize the entire book, cutting out any passages I find interesting. Those wooden bits I think I’m going to make into coasters, the front half of the canvas has a bunch of more Carpathia centered passages, which are more relevant to the modern day.
It’s just funny, I had so many nightmares growing up about needing to stand up to the Antichrist, and even if I’m not really a proper believer anymore it’s difficult to see Trump as anything but.
