This is the first pour and attempt on coffee beans. Im learning as I go and came to this conclusion... I dont think pr is the choice of cast for these beans. I dont have the correct coloring yet so I tried some white ink. It colored the resin ok but I think I should have stirred the mix as it thickened so all of the beans would not have been so close together. I knew I would have problems turning but decided to try anyhow. Especially after I survived 3 days of resin smell in the shop! I noticed without the pressure pot, the resin did not inhabit the beans like the alumilite blanks Ive seen on here. I guess it can only get better from here.
I decided to try something else and used the scrap from the bean pour to break up and put in the pink. I call it "Pink Ice". The blue blank has a lufa broken up in it but I think I put more color powder in that I needed. The orange is a mix of yellow and red powder with some white pearl and left over shavings from an orange acrylic I turned already. Im hoping it will show the shavings more when turned. The other is my attempt at the shredded money. I'll post pics when I get them turned.
Suprisingly my wife doesnt mind the resin odor, but Im guessing she expects me to make her more pens! Any and all comments appreciated!
