First of all I want to say beautiful flowers, Kerry! They are so lush!

Hi DeAnne, The trick to the cupped cane petals is building the cupping into the cane. I add the clear to the cane itself before I pull it out and don't add any clear on top once it's been added to the bead. I've really only done a few of these though - I am re-inspired to try more!

Batch annealing is perfectly fine if you've worked out a process that help you keep them from cracking as they cool. The final result is the same!
