Flowers

This is my second entry to Practice Bakes Perfect Challenge #44 (Stringwork)

This time I made smaller cookies than my first one.

1  I colored the center of my square cookies (8 x 8 cm) with brush and template I cut out from paper.

2  I piped with light gray colored icing on the paper that has the guide for straight lines.  

The design of second and third photos is different.  Since I wanted to compare which design I like more.

3 Green piping

Following 2 photos are taken from different angles.

How I got the idea

While I was learning "itokake mandala", I also learned triangle and square can be combined to make design.  

To make complicated looking design, I was thinking something complicated but easy pattern could be pretty! I thought.   Drawing lines this way and that way, I noticed this would be a flower.  

**** Feb 20 ****

Why I chose square.....  The floor of the swimming pool I go is covered by square tiles and I see them a lot.  

Oh wow. Everything about this is amazing Ryoko. Beautiful colors, excellent piping and so creative. I love it.❤️

Wow, thank you ❤️@Heather Bruce Sosa   I am relieved because I could take photos before I smashed or dropped them    Aren't they so fragile....?

Oh, Carol 💕 @Cookies Fantastique   Thank you for lovely comment!

Cookies surely make us happier!   The challenges make me notice what I didn't pay attention much and make me interested in colors, techniques, traditions, cultures, arts, food and more. 

Not only me but also there are so many who are looking forward to your beautiful cookies, Carol.
