These natural stone travertine tiles (measuring 4 x 4) have been hand stamped and painted in a football player design with the words "Football" and "foot-ball-noun" in black underneath the design. I used purple and gold as the colors for this design (sorry I must support my Vikings!) BUT you can request different colors to match the team colors you would rather use. Add your own personalization at the top, like the team name, or a person's name..whatever you would like.

Design process:
These are travertine tiles from Turkey. I like to use this specific type of travertine tile (ravini beige) because of their smooth texture with only minimal cracks and dents (mainly around the edges). They are strong and sturdy tiles that will last a lifetime. I hand stamp and hand paint each design. I bake the tiles in the oven to heat set in the design so the design can get wet but not smudge. I don't use any kind of chemical sealer because I want these tile coasters to be absorbent. I hand stamp the bottom with my name and add felt pads.
I do keep an inventory of my designs on hand, but many are made to order at the time you order. The photo seen in the listing is a representation of the final product. I paint the designs the same (as close as possible) and tiles do vary with their cracks and dents.
