Experimenting with New Techniques

I loved playing with this new technique! Hand painted each petal individually, dampened, shaped and stuck on cookie. 💕

Brilliant! Such beautiful, and creative artistry.

Thank you so much, dear Christine! The process of measuring the little rectangles of wafer paper (about 1inch), cutting, shaping one of the edges, painting, dampening, shaping the petals and sticking them individually, about 1 1/2 hours for each cookie. I guess you get faster with practice!😄♥️ Thank you for asking. I really enjoyed the technique🥰

Heather!! this is so amazing❤️ It looks  like a real flower❤️

So delicate and well done!!

Wow Heather...they are so realistic...and I suspect very time consuming.

Fantastic work Heather. I love them so much!! ❤️

Oh Heather, Your experimentation has produced a dream job !!! Such absolutely great flowers!!! ❤️😘 @Heather Bruce Sosa
I have never worked with wafer paper. Is the consistency similar to gingerbread wafers?

These are beautiful!

Thank you much, my dear Gabi! Haven’t seen gingerbread wafers, but the rice wafer looks like two sheets of paper stuck together, stiff but when you dampen then (veeeeery little) they turn very easy to shape. Have you seen the wafers that are used in some churches for communion? They are made of rice. Anyway, thank you so much for your very kind words of encouragement, you know I deeply appreciate them.♥️

WOW!!! Heather, you've totally outdone yourself my dear @Heather Bruce Sosa!! Obviously, I've gone through another period of time where I've been MIA from CC. UGH!! Actually, I've had a lot of orders coming in and the last 2 are rush jobs which has kept me in the kitchen baking and decorating cookies ( ). A good thing...and a tiring thing. Ya know?! Been burning the midnight oil on both ends of the day.

Your work here is beyond fabulous...it clearly shows just how much time and thought you put into these masterpieces my dear. Such patience and dedication to making your flowers perfect! I love that...and understand it (maybe I'm just a little bit like that? Ummmm). Awesome sweet Heather ❤️❤️

Awww Christine, thank you so much! To be sincere I was missing you and your detailed, loving comments! I deeply appreciate it your words which are always uplifting and encouraging. 
I’m happy/sad for all your hard work and hope you can rest a little now. 
The cookies were made for my daughter-in-love’s Birthday🥰

Thank you very much again, sweet friend ♥️

You are always so very kind...be safe and well my dear friend ❤️. I've probably missed many beautiful posts over the last few weeks. I hate it when I miss seeing the gorgeous work here. SO much talent!!! I'm always super amazed at the creative genius on this site. After this week I should have a little bit of time before the next orders are due. Hope to catch up on my favorite place to be @Heather Bruce Sosa .
