Artify your morning cuppa, workplace brew or evening tipple! This glossy hardboard coaster has been reproduced from one of my original dip pen and ink stippled dot with watercolour pencil pieces featuring a Celtic Triquetra (Trinity) knot seen in Ireland.
Inspired from what I see in my garden, on my field work, travels and from life experiences, I work only from photographs that I have taken or sketches that I have made in the field.
This coaster will withstand the hottest of brews or the coldest of cocktails and is easy to care for; simply wipe it clean with a cloth.
Ideal for: Anyone who loves Celtic knots, all things Irish, Ireland, cultural icons, carvings, knotwork, hidden meanings, history, travel, collecting coasters, art.
Although I’ve got Celtic heritage, it was a couple of years with a base in Dublin and travels around Ireland that allowed me to explore the many beautiful Celtic carvings that Ireland has to offer. From the amazing illuminated art in the Book of Kells, to those carved in stone or painted on old pub signs in towns and villages, you cannot miss Celtic knots. With no identifiable beginning or ending, their infinite pathway is often translated as symbolic of the unending cycle of life.
This endless Triquetra (3 cornered) knot, with no visible beginning or end, was seen as a sign of the Trinity (the circle representing the unity of the 3 forces) or shamrock. Using a vintage dip pen inherited from my mum, thousands of tiny acrylic ink dots were drawn; spaced out or layered up to create the depth of the intertwining triangular Triquetra knot work, which is embellished with the vibrant, watercolour pencil green foliage of Dicentra (Bleeding Heart).
Coasters are made from a combination of 90% hardboard with 10% sawmill wood fibre waste making them very sturdy and robust. Finished with a stunning glossy coating, slightly bevelled edges and rounded corners, these coasters are easy care; simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth to keep them looking brand new! Recyclable.
Coasters are sold individually (unless specified as part of a collection) and are boxed in a plain brown postal box for shipping. Coasters are not gift boxed unless this option has been selected.
90x90mm (approximately 3.54x3.54”) & about 3.4mm (0.13”) thick.
