Finished up some coasters for a swap.
Just simple granny squares, but I like the colors. And the yarn is all cotton, so the coasters should be quite absorbent and washable.
It’s been about 11 years since I had plenty of America On-Line CDROMs lying about with which to make coasters — literally, they graced my coffee table for years.
So today, when a dual-layer DVD+R went bad on me (substrate problem right out of the box), I decided to revisit that old trick. I also have a crappy microwave that I don’t care if it dies.
The results were gorgeous. The disc separated into two layers, each with a distinctive pattern.
I love how the corporate motto above looks like “is it evil or is it.”
One more photo and a video of the dual-layer coaster in the making are offsite.
