Experimenting with New Techniques

I loved playing with this new technique! Hand painted each petal individually, dampened, shaped and stuck on cookie. 💕

Brilliant! Such beautiful, and creative artistry.

Thank you so much, dear Christine! The process of measuring the little rectangles of wafer paper (about 1inch), cutting, shaping one of the edges, painting, dampening, shaping the petals and sticking them individually, about 1 1/2 hours for each cookie. I guess you get faster with practice!😄♥️ Thank you for asking. I really enjoyed the technique🥰

Heather!! this is so amazing❤️ It looks  like a real flower❤️

Wow Heather...they are so realistic...and I suspect very time consuming.

I have never worked with wafer paper. Is the consistency similar to gingerbread wafers?

These are beautiful!

Thank you much, my dear Gabi! Haven’t seen gingerbread wafers, but the rice wafer looks like two sheets of paper stuck together, stiff but when you dampen then (veeeeery little) they turn very easy to shape. Have you seen the wafers that are used in some churches for communion? They are made of rice. Anyway, thank you so much for your very kind words of encouragement, you know I deeply appreciate them.♥️

Thank you very much, dear Jean! Yes, they do consume quite a lot of time-and patience- but I loved the results! Thanks for your nice words🥰
