That is lovely, Bernhard.
Annie, those are so cool!

I think I should concentrate on my caps next, because the shapes I get are hugely irregular.

Jelly 22. This is Chinese white, Momka carmen red, and the backing is Momka sparkly green. I like the carmen red over white on the cap, but on its own in the...

Aha, I thought that was just the borostix white - the little square ones? I know those have to be mixed because they aren't pulled. The Chinese white is normal rods.
