Containment

I have created 11 cups a day for the past two days.  I find my process becoming streamlined.  I am now able to make the eleven cups in three and a half hours, as opposed to eleven cups in six hours.  I melt a wok full of beeswax.  I spray vegetable oil in a non-stick oversized cupcake pan.  I then pour a few tablespoons of the melted the beeswax in a section of the pan.  I swirl this beeswax around until it hardens.  I create the initial rim by swaying the pan back and forth and in circles.  As I run out of beeswax that is in the tin, I use the rest to fill the bottom.  I want to create very thin walls with the wax, to make them as translucent as possible.  I then repeat the pouring and swirling once or twice more.  I begin to work on the next cup, and the next one after that.  Once three or so cups are made I heat the edge of a butter knife on the hotplate.  I run the blade around the cup to jimmy it free.  Sometimes the cup is too thin and it breaks.  Other times it is set free.  Below are the results.
