I'm editing this post complaining about how I kept doing tulips and no wiggles, because yesterday, I finally achieved a real wiggled base in an 8oz cup. This has become my ideal cup size these last couple weeks. It gives me a good amount of canvas to practice with. I'll switch back to exclusively 6oz drinks, which is my preferred cup size for my flat whites, once I feel more confident with my pours.

My tulips are pretty good now. I can stack a good amount of layers depending on the cup size and my milk consistency. I have to admit, morale is pretty high. I haven't painted a formless blob in weeks and that feels really damn good after consistent daily pouring. Practice does help! Once my confidence on wiggling is up, I'll attempt even more wiggles beyond just the base.
