Sterling Silver Scarab Armband with Lapis Lazuli and Red Rhodochrosite Stones
This set of 4 coasters is a mix of unfinished and hand painted in both round and square formats. Each piece is laser cut and layered to give dimension. One square and one round is hand painted with 2 very similar, yet slightly different Lily designs. The flowers are a creamy white with dark green leaves on a sky blue background. The border is dark green finishes the look. The other 2 round and square coasters are the same design as the painted ones, but left unfinished with just a light protective coat of poly to finish them off, allowing the laser cut design to stand out on its own. Each coaster has a layer of cork on the back for grip and insulation.

About Me - TJ Fox

I am a slightly sane artist, amateur photographer, book addict, wife, mom and raging introvert. I have more hobbies than I can count, so it is beyond shocking that I manage to find time to do any of them, let alone most of them and still have time to do anything else.  Of all the talents I claim, writing wasn’t one of them until my muse dropped the idea for a book on my head. And I now get to add that I'm officially a published author. An Unexpected Turn is my jump into the writing and self-publishing world.
