Christmas Angels

These Christmas Angels were made as part of Granny's Xmas Sweetest International Cookie Collaboration https://www.facebook.com/profi...hp?id=61554946282197

They are cookies with wet-on-wet royal icing and handpainted. Their skirts were made with dusted wafer paper. The wafer paper was joined together with a honeycomb paper technique that is often used in papercraft, and instead of using glue to join the sections they were joined with water. It gave me a huge amount of dimension on the cookie reminiscent of the paper Christmas decorations of the 1950's.

Wow.  Super super cool

Really clever use of the wafer paper!

I am really only just beginning to see the possibilities of wafer paper, and it is something I think I need to explore further.
