punctuation [coasters]

for the past few months, i have had my eye on some industrial felt coasters at the moma store. i couldn't justify the purchase since i didn't need them (well, brandon helped me resist the purchase), but i really really really wanted them. this weekend brandon suggested that perhaps instead i should get creative and make my own, which would be more personalized and less expensive, not to mention more fun for me. we took a trip to britex and here is what i came up with:

they are some sort of nylon fabric backed in black felt, hand-embroidered with different symbols/punctuation. there is always room for improvement, but i am happy with the first batch...
