First finished painting since 09

Should you use a finish/sealant on coffee dyed shoes?

Basically the title. I coffee dyed my husband’s Air Force ones but I’m not sure if it’ll last and I don’t want the color the fade. Is there a good sealant or finishing product that would be good to use for this? Or should the coffee stain it enough to last a little while?

Eco Pour Help

So I've been experimenting with eco pour, I really like the simplicity and finish but I'm having some trouble. I've been using it in molds for jewellery and I'm at my wit's end, for thicker mold projects it's great and really strong but for finer thin pieces it's quite weak. I've been speaking to the online shop I got it from and they suggested to add more water but I've had no luck. I'm loosing mind, I don't want to use epoxy or anything like that because of the toxic nature and issues with sustainability. Is there anything I can do/ use instead of?

How to make a customs promise ring?

My boyfriend and I picked up several rocks while we were at the beach and he said he wanted us to make them into promise rings for one another since it was our first vacation together. The problem is, I don’t even know where to start. I like the wire wrapped rings for myself but he likes things that are more simple and traditionally masculine, so I’m not sure what I could do? Does anyone have any tips or recommendations?
