Hey all, 

Thought I'd post up a little fun project I'm doing at the moment. Always been interested in trying the biotex flax and jute fabrics, but never had any real purpose for them. My partners mum has her birthday coming up next week, so I decided I would make her a little tea set of sorts. Purchased some jute and flax from EC, and I've got some scrap bits of carbon fibre laying around, so thoughtiI'd practise some techniques and have a bit of fun.

 Have almost finished the coasters, and am in the process of polishing up the mold for the tray. Here are the coasters:

 

 

 



Getting those strips of carbon in exactly the right places was a lot of work, so I'm glad it turned out well.
