I’d been having trouble remembering how to make nice flowers, and Josh stopped by and gave me a demo. He makes some really spectacular flowers, in multiple colors, and if you want one, I think he has some for sale at the Mesa Art Center museum.
He suggested snipping the disc of hot glass into six divisions, then heating it again, which causes the snips to pull back in on themselves. Sure enough, the next flower I made with this technique was worlds better than the mutant flowers.
