My piece is a hand cut, hand textured cookie with cut out windows, poured isomalt, gold accents and layers of spun sugar “threads” to create a woven fabric look. I also used some pulled sugar technique for the tassels. I was inspired by Chihuly’s Early Fused Glass Weaving, from 1965 because it was the piece he made right before he began glass blowing. For my piece, the spun sugar was a beautiful accident that achieved exactly the look I wanted. 

Inspiration photo can be found in his early book, The Art of Dale Chihuly.  Here is a link to the photo.  http://archive2.chihuly.com/ea...ing-1965_detail.aspx

Wow! How long did it take you to make this?

Thank you!  I'd say 4-6 hours broken into 2 days.  It was an uniced cookie, painted with gold rolkem for the base. A lot of it was just "see what happens", especially with the spun sugar. I'm a sculptor in my non-sugar life so I jumped at the chance to do a Chihuly inspired piece.

knew this wasn't a 15 minute cookie! It definitely looks like you put a lot of time into it. "See what happens cookies" are the best sometimes. I love the spun sugar effect and the gold and blue look great together!

Thank you so much. I'm not sure I've ever done a cookie that took me less than 30-60 min. I'll never be a millionaire making cookies.  Most of my stuff is too weird to sell.
