"Let the games begin! The initial concept was to lay out an image comprised of bottle caps, then reality set in and we opted for the much easier gradient effect.
To be fair, this took several attempts because of numerous factors: visually, it wasn't as cool as I wanted it to be. Also, we had a lot of black caps, but few bright blue (for example), so laying them down "evenly" was challenging.
Unfortunately, once the caps are down, attempting to move them results in disaster due to the caps shifting/overlapping each other. So, the process would begin all over again if it wasn't right. At one point we attempted adhering them to the bar top with spray adhesive, but that ended up looking terrible not to mention messy."

It took a few restarts before we were satisfied with the distribution and overall visual.
