I’ve had a soft spot for Blythe for a long time now, ever since I discovered Gina Garan’s first book, This is Blythe, many years ago. That fabulous little doll is such a… doll, isn’t she? (Click here to visit Gina’s site and see tons of rad Blythe pics.) For the image I used, I found a Blythe photo I loved on Flickr and emailed the photo’s creator, one Alberto Rodriguez from Spain, to ask if I could use it. Next, to make the piece big, I used the awesome site with a terrible name, The Rasterbator. So I uploaded Alberto’s image to The Rasterbator, and in mere seconds I had a pdf file that was about 30 pages long. Next, I got a piece of foam core and cut it to the necessary size to fit my image.
And that’s it! Thank you, Alberto, for sharing your wonderful photo with me. Mon makes things: DIY Photo Transfer Coasters. So, I've joked about it, but boyfriend is seriously concerned about my new found DIY coasterobsession.
