Wow. I thought just shaping/blowing sugar would be hard, but weaving it? Wow. Where did you learn to do this (sugar work)? Do you do this in your own kitchen or do you have to go somewhere else? What do you use so you don't burn your hands?
Anyway, I think all your sugar work is awesome.

we used isomalt, a sugar substitute. its 10 parts isomalt to 1 part water, boil to 330-340F then aerate as you would regular sugar

and i didnt answer the other question so... to blow the sugar we use a one way air pump and put the sugar on the end of the pump's wooden end and fasten it there, then pump air into it slowly and just form w/e shape you want....
