Creative Custom Coasters: What a Wonderful Gift
One of the best parts about our job is helping people create gifts for their friends or family members. We get to hear about what people love and admire and then we get to assist in creating a piece or pieces that exemplify those very things. Sometimes it is a birthday gift, sometimes it is a wedding memento, but each time it is something that is special and fun to work on.
Most recently we had our good friend James come to us with an idea about making some coasters for his friends in the Big Apple. When he dropped by the studio to meet with me on the morning we got his project started he laid out a series of drawings that looked as though a four year old had scribbled them out. It made me laugh a little and so I asked him what exactly they were and he told me that they were from a game of cranium that he had played with his friends not too far back. Perfect, I thought. Once again we had been approached with something new that was very simple but full of good memories. We talked about the coasters some more and then after James settled on the design I got to work. After a bit of a rush to get them completed before he was off to NYC to meet with his buddies we were confident that we had helped create another one of a kind gift.
I think as more and more time passes I have started to realize that a lot of what we do at Copper Art Designs is allow those around us to tap into their inner artist. All anybody need do is approach us with an idea and we love to watch it come to life not only for ourselves but for those who had initially thought of it.
