I wanted to try this technique for a long time and this was the right moment. My inspiration is @Sweet Prodigy 's perfection and her straght lines and geometrical shapes. I adore her style and I know I have much to learn. I enjoyed making this set so much, it is now one of my faves, but it was also the harderst one I did so far. I did not expect it to be that hard I made so many lines, because, as usual I made everything double so that I can practice. So now I have my hand, my wrist, my arm, my back, my neck, and...my bottom hurt from all this piping Christine, thank you for your help and support, I hope you are satisfied with my interpretation of your unique style and I hope you all like my late Xmas set!
Wow! Very impressive Zara. Your lines are so straight. I love the whole concept of this tree - how the pieces are arranged and the different patterns on each cookie! How long did it take you to create this?
I am honoured that you chose me for your inspiration and I hope that you will keep experimenting with more stringwork patterns.
P.S. I hear that a few delicious cookies will help cure those aches and pains!

Thank you, Christine! @Sweet Prodigy I'm so happy you like my set!
I worked all night last night and today with almost no sleep (but I had the cookies baked before Xmas ). I was in a hurry to finish before the deadline, it was after I published I realized the deadline is extended It's too much work for such a short time but I'm happy I did it!
Now I'm going to have some cookie cure for sure!
Thank you again, Chrsitine! Keep on inspire me/us!
Oh Zara, you are so good at piping!!! and very patient to do those lines. I also asked Christine how I could make straight lines and I practiced (but not enough) but I could never achieved. After 10 lines I got exhausted.

Great!!! You rock.
Thank you, Ryoko! Wish I had your patience with isomalt.
These look great! Did you plan the patterns before you started or did you just decide spontaneously what to do next?
Thank you @Former Member I do this technique for the first time so when I started I totally did it spontaneously because I didn't know what I am doing. After few tries I started to plan my patterns.
This is a wonderful entry to the challenge! I could recognize @Sweet Prodigy's style immediately! I love the tone-on-tone greens, the mixing of patterns, and the artful arrangement of the cookies into the Christmas Tree array. This is obviously a very carefully thought-out and executed entry. Outstanding!

Zara @carouselselsel that's how many of my designs are created - spontaneously! Most times I have no idea how a new pattern will turn out until it's completed. And every once in a while, I'm pleasantly surprised! ☺

I like it like that, Christine! @Sweet Prodigy It brings a little change, because it is good sometimes just to follow the 'flow' and not to plan things/designs. And you are right - most of the times when I do so, I am pleasantly surprised.
I'm definately going to give your technique another try sometimes Thanks again for being so supportive!

Thank you very much, Christine @Bakerloo Station. It was such a great experience for me.
