After watching Arlee's video, had to try it. Bought a small Mull and other supplies. Wondered if Coffee might make a good pigment, because most of us, who drink it, know how it can stain articles of clothing and furniture. I ground up and mulled some fresh Raven's Brew whole beans and used the same method as Arlee showed. Although it didn't meet my expectations, it was fun to try.
