4 Colour Toad - mini blog

Thank you for taking the time to show us Martyn. You are a good teacher because it really looks quite logical when you show us step-by-step. I was wondering if you used the triangular scraps for another small box or project?? It would be a shame to waste them, I would think. Just wondering.

Thanks for the lesson.

I was going to make a coaster for my tea mug, Sheila but I was concerned that the heat and/or hot tea might melt the glue in the patterns!

What if you poured a clear epoxy resin over it and put a thin sheet of cork on the back? I have used this product

Envirotex Lite

with some success.

I wonder if they carry a similar product in your area? Just a thought. It is beautiful and a shame to waste even the smallest of scraps. :)

Sweet.

“It is then a simple matter….” Martyn, you have no idea what a simple matter is, me thinks.

Wonderful work. Cool project. Thanks for sharing,

Thanks for passing this along! I am looking forward to trying some of your ideas for my next project. My first attempt at your” E-Z Mitre technique” was a blast!

I love the look and the skill Martyn, but I wonder how you manage to work with those patterns. They would send me into a spin!
