A Pretty Personalized Follower

[Tropit]

Years ago, a friend gave me a set of very hard, ceramic coasters that have a bouquet of flowers embossed on the top.  I love them, but rarely used them.  Well, I just found out that the fit perfectly in my 4" molds!  I'm going to take off the cork backing on them and use them a personalized followers!!!  I hope they make a, "nice impression."

Kewl Idea but won't the image be backwards?

You can use the mirror to see what it will look like. Debi that reminds me of a butter mold I made for my cow's butter. I had to carve her name Elsie into the wood backwards and it was a job.I had to use a mirror to get it right.

Yeah mirror images are a PITA. Just isn't natural.

Who cares?  It's just a bunch of flowers...no lettering involved here. 

I tried it and I have discovered that the design looks better when the coaster is below the mold, facing up...more pressure, I guess.

Carter, a member here, makes plastic followers with a reversed pattern in them.  Very classy finish.

Cindy would love to see some pics of the cheeses that you have been trying.

Ah well if there's no letter you ar in luck!

Tea ~ I will do that.  Just as soon as I can wrestle away the camera from the DH.  That may take some doing.
