The flooded base is meant to look like wool fabric though it was done in the same way as those cookies meant to look like craft paper

I made these cookies for Go Bo Foundation Bake Sale. They need to be about 3.5-4 inches and it was very different to me because my cookies are usually much smaller! I made the heart-shaped cutter myself and hand-cut squares.

Did you flood the cookie in a sand color, then take a fine brush to swipe in the white/cream an black colors?

Oh, I just love these cookies!! They're so beautiful and original. I love the pussy willows (at least that's what I think they are ) that you added. Gorgeous work, as always!!

Thank you Donna! That is done in the same way as the Native American Halloween cookies. But this time, I dragged a scribing tool just straight (do you call this action "swipe"?) through the white and black dots. Then I drew tiny black dots with a scribing tool when the icing was still wet. The icing is grey, made with black and a bit of brown.

Smiling at you Mint!

Yes, sort of - drag, swipe.  I used the word swipe because, even though I may have thought of the scribe tool, to me, drag wouldn't give that effect - ?  Smiling.  Perhaps I would be too heavy handed?  Using the scribe, for me/my thoughts, would almost bury the color into the base color; to me.  I actually thought you used a brush to gently swipe the color/s over the base color.  (I've done that by accident.  At least I thought of it as an accident.  lol)

Your artistry always amazes me.
