I don't know if I'd use it as a drink coaster, as it would hold moisture, but as a pot dolly it would make cooking and serving hilarious.
It's a drink coaster, it's supposed to hold moisture
It's supposed to hold moisture without wicking it down to the wooden surface underneath.
The goal is to keep water off the furniture that may be damaged by it, so it soaks up that water and holds it against the wood underneath thats not really ideal
Could probably solve that by glueing something impermeable underneath, no?

A coaster?
What is your table but a coaster on legs?
It's coasters all the way down.
And what is a table but a big turtle made of wood?
What are turtles except motile coasters?
Certainly! :)
it's supposed to protect the surface of the table not only from moisture, but also scratches and stuff.
+1 for that pattern
Oh shit! A Google+ user! What a throwback
I forgot all about google plus. I used to not be able to comment on youtube, because I refused to get a google+.
Mod parent up.
Gplus was so good initially, then they started messing with it and it became a shitty facebook
It would be great with a little squeaker thing inside it!
Only problem is it might not sit straight if the cup isn’t full
Then be an optimist
Oh yeah good point. So something more electronic maybe? Hmm…
Dog/Cat would eat it
Alright, that's cool as fuck!
I think I know how the effect is achieved. A small bent piece of metal or even plastic lifts the shell up when the drink is removed, and the head when the drink is placed.
Adding that part makes the rest much easier.
Plastic is not necessary because the nature of the crochet fabric is enough to achieve the effect. Fiber arts are cool that way.
Mushroommunk found a video that shows how it's constructed.
Is it the same yarn they use in needle felting or no?
I don’t think I would use it as a coaster, as your glass would easily fall off.
Still pretty cool though.
