I've been working on some more technical skills I haven't used in a while. Got to do a few solo rollups and make supio cups. Process is basically taking a glass rod and coating it in clear, then pulling it so it's a thin cane. Finally, I put the canes together and heat them so they stick together and can be rolled up on a blowpipe and then I cut that roll up into little supio cups that I gather glass over and blow out. It's been challenging but fun. Some failures and learning, but the successes have boosted my spirits in this tough time. I really like the look of only using a few canes, rather than a larger number for some pieces.
