Dish soap sud patterns totally changed how I approach thin glass
I was rinsing a plate and noticed the soap film holding together in weird, stretchy sheets. That got me thinking about when I try to make those super thin glass petals for flowers. I used to force it and they'd snap or get lumpy every time. Now I mimic the soap by easing the pull and letting the glass flow on its own timing. My latest lily piece has petals that are evenly thin and actually translucent. It's amazing what you can pick up from just washing up. Gonna use this slow pull method on my next dragonfly wing project.
