recreating cool art | vintage burger coasters

In the 1970's an artist named Jo Anne Marquardt designed this fun cheeseburger coaster set for Jam inc. This is my attempt to create it myself, here's the materials that I used:
- Air dry clay
- Sandpaper
- Acrylic paint
- Glossy mod podge
Such a fun process and creative challenge! #artist #coaster #airdryclay #clay #artwork #vintage

It's official. You can't call yourself NOT an artist

[@itsConnorCreates]

Thanks, appreciate the encouragement! Check out what I did to the sign at the beginning of pt.3/my latest video 🔥🤷‍♀️

[@CJ-rl4kd]

The sign it literally crossed so yeah 😂

[@Kitkat_bar]

No one can call themselves not an artist. Literally every single person on this planet is and can be an artist.

[@obliviousdreamor]

@@Kitkat_bar I agree! Every time I show off my art I always get someone saying they wish they were an artist.

[@MooCow765]

@@Kitkat_bar well no, people who make art are artists, so if you don’t you’re not

[@Electricutie135]

FYI from a fellow not-an-artist tinker-'n-crafter: that spray will break down over time when in contact with moisture. If you want 🍔 to last forever, I recommend adding a top coat of something like Testors Dullcote or Mr. Super Clear!

[@itsConnorCreates]

Good to know thanks! Will definitely look into that 🙌

[@beaglesforlife3361]

@@itsConnorCreatesalso if moisture gets through to the clay it can/will break the clay down over time.

[@snowangell9100]

I was definitely thinking about sumn like this too! Good tip ty!

My man you make far too much art to not be an artist at this point.

That's why he crossed it out haha

[@DustyHoney]

I’d love to see more food coasters. Other than just the cheeseburger, I would love to see a peanutbutter jelly sandwich coaster set. Other than the two slices of bread, two coasters could look like jar lids.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Ooohh good idea! Yes! Would be so fun to experiment and try making different ones

[@spiltbongwater7591]

like jar lid, pb chunk, jam chunk, jar lid coaster in a set?

[@Hyena_Heckler]

You might want to use a stronger sealant than mod podge, mod podge is water activated and thus will break down over time, air dry clay is also water activated and soon it’ll kinda just be mush. Any sort of waterproof and durable sealant will work wonders.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Okay good to know! Thanks for the tip, I’ll definitely look into getting something to coat it with

[@frogzet502]

[@itsConnorCreates]

Thank you!! 😊🙌🏻 why do you hate air dry clay though?

[@MartianMeli]

@@itsConnorCreates I personally find it hard to work with. Depending on the brand it can dry really fragile, and some dry out extremely quickly (and I work slow haha). I usually prefer ceramic clay, as its pretty moist and less inclined to break after solidifying

[@skch3062]

Super cool to see how well you did. But for as a general PSA for everyone else if you want to try this do not use air dry clay. Even though it seems he used modgepodge as coating/sealant here it will eventually wear down. If you want long lasting ones invest in a good sealant but if you truly want to use them regularly don’t use air dry clay because the condensation from your cold drinks will reactivate the clay.

[@itsConnorCreates]

Good to know thanks!
