    I don’t think I would use it as a coaster, as your glass would easily fall off.

    Still pretty cool though.

    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.

    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.
