upcycled America album cover coasters


americacoasters1_1.jpg

america2_1.jpgFeeling patriotic?  These handmade coasters are created from the album cover of the 70′s soft-rock band, America’s, “Homecoming” album.

The album jacket was laminated onto a 1/2″ piece of Baltic birch plywood and cut into (9), 3 3/4″ by 3 3/4″ waterproofed coasters.  The beauty of the original album art is preserved by four layers of polyurethane.

You may recall that “Ventura Highway” was the big track on the album.
