A very impressive work, can be a long time admiring the work and not be bored at any time. The entire assembly is particularly striking and I love it, even though it costs a bit to remove the eyes of the carnivorous plant and the effect of brightness and luminosity elixir bottle, fascinate me !!

Thank you all for the awesome comments and kudos! When the idea for this set first began to develop, I was so excited about it...the shapes just kept

coming. And I was also way nervous as to whether I could pull it off...first time airbrushing, first time making a reference stencil, first time hand painting

small details and letters. It's a shame my camera doesn't pick up the pearl dust sparkle...in person the keys, ring, pendant, crystal orb, and lamp flame all look like they're glowing. All said, I learned a ton and am very pleased with how they turned out!!!

Thank you so much Christine! I was a bit worried that viewers might not 'get' this theme...but as a fantasy genre enthusiast, I just had to go for it!

Wow!  Loved these even before I realized they were part of the Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge. Even after I knew the set was for the challenge, I didn't recognize all the cutters until I read what they were - and then of course they became obvious - but only then.  Great on the techniques too.  Never would have guessed so many were a first.  Well done!
