INSTRUCTIONS
Using Fimo, roll very thin snakes about 6 inches in length each of red, orange, green, green darkened slightly with black, transparent, and transparent tinted slightly with green. Bake snakes in oven at 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool. With X-Acto knife, slice and chop up Fimo snakes. These are your vegetables.
Pour a small amount of casting resin into paper cup. (Remember: The amount of resin to pour depends on the size of the miniature vessel to be filled.) Add just a touch of yellow dye by dipping a toothpick into the jar and stirring this into the resin. Add needed drops of catalyst and stir thoroughly with stirring stick (usual formula is 10 drops of catalyst to one ounce of resin.) Carefully pour catalyzed mixture into vessel to be filled until vessel is about half full. Sprinkle in Fimo vegetables. Let harden undisturbed for at least two hours.
Soup's on!
