Hanji Coasters

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.
