Wow, Manu! It definitely shows that you and Ryoko put a lot of thought and work into this set! The details in your work are amazing! 

Thank you, Christine. I think that the two of us have a special passion for the Challenges thought by Bakerloo Station. I wish I had the same clean way to decorate that Ryoko (and also you) has, but little by little I will get there (practice bakes perfect ). Working on the same designs has helped me this way.

Well, I think the detail in your work far exceeds that of a person who has been decorating cookies for a relatively short period of time (my work included). You definitely have a talent for this!

Wow You are so talented!  Always surprising in each new cookie.  

 

Thank you, Mily, If you could only see how many pics of ideas and work in progress we have shared... we should have posted them...

What a FABULOUS idea for a collaboration!  And on top of it, these cookies are individual works a=of art - each and every one!

Thank YOU, Christine, fabulous are your Challenges that help us brainstorming new ideas for cookies. It is amazing the way this project took shape and developed and how much Ryoko and I have been sharing. Thank you again for another great learning experience.

Wow You are so talented!  Always surprising in each new cookie.

I loved collaborating with Ryoko, we talked almost daily and shared so much about cookie decorating.

This was the first time I made cookies based on someone else design.
I have learned a lot, like the technique for the hair or the weaving technique and also to make something looking almost like a squirrel/chipmunk. I made 4 or 5 before of them before it didn't look too much like Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars. I should have dared more and tryed to make royal icing transfers leaves, but I painted them instead. I definetly tryed something completely new to me, like people, clothes and animal... it was challenging.

I have loved the way Ryoko made her cookies based on my design. Seeing my design under a different point of view helped me to think in a different way. I like the idea we have been able to write a story that allowed us to merge different designs. The sets we have made are similar but not the same and each one of them keeps the style of the cookier.

But most of all, nice friendship born during a past Challenge keeps growing.

I LOVE how you guys have made such a wonderful "connection!"  Cookie friends are the best friends!

What a FABULOUS idea for a collaboration!  And on top of it, these cookies are individual works a=of art - each and every one!

Wow, Manu, we really understand each other without words.  Special passion for the Challenges, Yeeeeees!  I always learn a lot through challenges by @Bakerloo Station.

congratulations these are so good Manu it must have been a lot of work and to be able to do this with someone not living near you even harder ....but these are fantastic

 

Thank you, Kim. Ryoko and I have been texting almost daily and shared lot of pictures of work in progress through Cookie Connection, so I still have the feeling we had been working in the same room.

@Cookies Fantastique

Thank you Carol, you are always so kind.

I worked very well with Ryoko. As I said ideas (and much more) bounced back and forth and the project took shape. We designed half of the set each, and all the cookies are in harmony. 

When Ryoko made "The flower girl 3" cookie, based on my design, I liked very much the additions she brought to it, like the ballons and the little flower wreath on the sideview mirror. We tryed to do the same here, keeping the basic design but leaving each other free to decorate. Ryoko made the pumpkin green because that is what she sees in Japan. I made the ruffle of the shawl in a different color because I couldn't find a nice blue/purple to go to the green and orange. But at the end my cookies and her cookies are still making pairs together, they are similar but not the same. A different way to see each other design, a different way to decorate. That helped me to think different and to think wider, to walk out of the borders of my own design. On the other hand I tryed new things just by following Ryoko's design, that I probably wouldn't have tryed because it meant again going out of my confort zone.

congratulations these are so good Manu it must have been a lot of work and to be able to do this with someone not living near you even harder ....but these are fantastic

Fantastic!!! Love the idea and design, so beautifully done! ❤️

Grazie Evelin❤️

Do you remember at your class when you helped me fixing my handpainted roses as I put too much color? I used the same technique to paint yellow leaves on the trunk.

I really wish I were in Italy.  It is a dream I am at Evelindecora's class with Manu.

How awesome for the 2 of you to have come up with such a beautiful collaborative effort!! You are both to be commended for your beautiful work!! I'm beyond impressed by the work from both of you

Incredible work Manu!!! I absolutely love this set . You always put so much thought and detail into every design and it shows

I have to congratulate you Menu you and Ryoko work so perfectly together both of your game cards definitely looks as though they go together now does anyone have a squirrel card I needed one for a *fall* house

Thank you Anne.

As I said to Ryoko: "Awesome cookies, awesome idea, awesome amount of collaboration! Love both of these sets!" Thanks for contributing so thoughtfully, as always!

Thank you, Julia, without Cookie Connection I would have never met Ryoko and all of this couln't have been possible.

I love both sets as well and I look at them as only one thing. We made a project, build a story to fulfill the theme "you complete me", but one set completes the other just for the collaboration behind it. I recall messages, doubt, tips and tricks just looking at each cookies. Ryoko has explained very well our "journey" in her comment.
