If you aren't affraid of the dark, you're not reading enough H.P. Lovecraft... Or maybe you feel you need to inspire a little titilation of fear around your home? Or around someone elses? How about a little reminder that sometimes, it may be right to be a little scared of the shadows, with these "Late-Night tales of Horror from the Necronomicon" coasters.
Lovecraft's work has become so ubiquitous in our own mythology, that the very book he invented (The Necronomicon) has been absorbed so deeply it is refenced sometimes as having a greater history than the about 100 years since Lovecraft first mentions it...
I worked off and on on these designs for about 8 months, struggling to create images that, for me, represent Lovecraft's mythos. I am finally happy with what I have created, and so have heat sublimated them onto high-quality, British-made, aluminium plaques.
One is a re-created section of Henri Fuseli's painting, bearing a quote from From Beyond, "We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight".
The second is, possibly, one of my favourite quotes: The artwork here is my own designs. From The Call of Cthulhu, "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strage aeons, even death may die."
I have sublimated these designs on to a 9cm-square, 0.5mm thick, aluminium coaster. The coaster has silicon or cork feet to prevent slippage and heat transfer during use.
Please note, this is a hand-made item so colours may vary slightly from the images.
Care Instructions
Care instruction: To clean the coasters, use a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Avoid using scouring agents/clothes or solvents such as acetone or similar as these may affect the sublimated surface of the coasters. Never wash in a dishwasher.
