I wanted to participate to this challenge badly, but I didn't have enough "sets" of cookies in my portfolio, especially with at list four cookies.
This set is a "redo" of the set I made for PBP Challenge #15-Istanbul, inspired by the architectural elements of the Blue Mosque.
That was the first time that I dared to make something looking like a puzzle, that I filed the cookies, and one of my first time at handpainting with food colors. The details could have been more precise on the archs, the semi-domes and the pillars but I was very happy with the final outcome, which was kind of mesmerizing, Actually I had those patterns so printed in my mind after making that set, that I painted them again on the set I made right after (Easter Egg) which could be considered already a kind of "redo".
Back to this challenge, in order to avoid making a "nearly exact copy" of the old set I played with the architectural elements and I tryed to "re-image" it. So I sketched it from a different point of view. The elements (cookies) are the same but their shape has changed because I changed the perspective, as this is (my very free interpretation of) a birds eye view.
I am not sure this is the way it would really look, but it was the idea to start.
When I look at the final outcome I see a huge abstract flower like those you see inside a kaleidoscope.So just imagine to be looking through a kaleidoscope while turning the cell to change the pattern.
@Manu biscotti decorati, wow, I'm just speechless with this art pleasure! This is so precise, beautiful, and eye catching! It even relaxed my mind ❤ thank you for making beautiful art for us!
Thank you so much, Joss, for the kind words. I am glad you like it.

Thank you, Carol. The most difficult part was taking the final picture. I am always so scared to break one of the cookies especially this time that I had to post so close to the end of the challenge.
I so know what you mean Manu! Photography is another level of challenge for me. It requires standing on my foot for a long period of time...a killer!!!! Hard to photograph quickly though. You did such a great job with the photography and the cookies are absolutely fabulous. LOVE this design so much ♥♥
Oh, my goodness, I am just floored! Whete do I begin?! Honestly, the change of perspective idea for this redo challenge was sheer genius, and the fact that this was so beautifully and flawlessly executed is only icing on the cake (or, em, cookie...). Incredible!

Absolutely amazing Manu!!! I absolutely love this design...such creativity, attention to detail and wonderful combination of colors ...One of your best designs ever ♥♥
Just stunning Manu!!!! This type of cookie is among one of my many favorite styles of yours. Equally as beautiful as your first set! It is like looking at fine china!
