What was your inspiration?

Inspired by my love of coffee, and all things retro!

What are you most proud of?

I love how realistic the coffee bean beads turned out. I coated them with alcohol ink and a high gloss finish for deeper color and shine.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure you have enough lead time for the resin to cure, and for the baking and cooling of the polymer clay.
