I finished the two sets of coasters that I started last week. It took me a lot longer than I had anticipated. At my hanji class in Korea, my teacher always had all my hanji pieces cut out for me so all I had to do was sit and glue. Now that I am home I have to cut out the pieces and it is timeconsuming. Another difference is that when I did hanji in Korea, I went to the hanji class to do it. Now that I am home I can get distracted a lot easier. I have laundry going or the phone rings or I need to mow the lawn.
The coasters were entirely cut out and glued by myself using supplies I had purchased in Korea. The coasters above were finished with a glossy varnish.
These coasters were finished in a matt finish. I'm really happy how they turned out. I have put them in my Etsy shop if you are interested in purchasing them. Now I'm ready to try a box. I brought a lot of forms home but I may go through them quickly. Luckily, my Korean girlfriends can call and order more for me if I should run out. I also bought a lot of hanji paper which should last me a long time.
