Lucy, watching this was like getting a massage.....
There's a story behind "The Hare and the Silver Moon". You could write children's stories and illustrate them with your magical cookies. Something to think about.

Thank you! I've long thought about illustrating old fairy tales or myths with cookies. Not sure about writing the stories myself though!
It was very cool to see how you use the silver foil. I didn't know you needed edible glue, until I watched this. I could watch you pipe all day.
I'm not sure you definitely need edible glue, to be honest, but I didn't want to risk wasting the stuff! It'll stick to anything damp. I considered just painting the RI surface with water, but reckoned that a) it would dry too quickly while I was working, and b) didn't know whether it would stay stuck down or rub off once dry.

Wow~ So amazing to watch you creating your art~! I was nervous just watching you come in to paint the rabbit's tiny eye~ ha. Love the audio selection, as well. Quite mesmerizing & appropriate. Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us, Lucy~!
Lucy, what a phenomenal tutorial!!! Your painting is exquisite (it looks so easy when you do it. Lol). Thank you for sharing this step by step process. It's incredibly helpful to see how the shading and detailed "fur" is added to a medium like RI. Awesome
Quick question...where did you purchase the silver (or gold) leaf?
I've bought it in small amounts from local supermarkets, but that's expensive. I've also bought it from ebay, but you have to be careful to ensure you find a legitimate seller with the proper edible stuff. I used VantageCC who are a UK seller.
