more cups and fire

here are some more cups i made last week. this white one is a favorite but there are many small things wrong with it that you can't see in the photo. the reason there are so many mistakes on this cup is that my assistant actually caught herself on fire while assisting me making this cup , and needless to say i got distracted and ended up tagging some of the canes together in the wrong place. my assistant was ok, luckily she had two shirts on and only the outer one caught on fire and she was able to put it out before she was hurt.



we laughed about it after. i will make this cup pattern again one day soon, but without the fire.




the blue lines on this cup are made up of coloured furnace glass canes. this means there is no clear glass around them, like in normal coloured canes.



the colour is also not as intense as it usually is in normal coloured canes. i really like this cup and i have lots more of the coloured furnace glass canes to play around with still.



the perfect water cup size.



and finally two cups made with the same patterned canes. i really like the white twist that is covered in the black canes, it creates a nice veil effect. i will definitely be trying a few more colour combo options in some fancy twisted canes soon.
