Miniatures For Scale Tea, Coffee and Pastry Shops and Settings

If you want to add a sense of movement to your scenes with tea or coffee miniatures, set up a pour of 'liquid' from a tea or coffee pot into a cup. This technique doesn't take exotic materials, and you can set it up with any color of 'liquid'.
