Gingerbread House "Winter Lace"

Thank you! Now, unfortunately, I'm busy, and only in the second half of March can prepare and publish information about traditional Russian painted gingerbread. This Archangel gingerbread - the only region of Russia, which has long made ​​it painted gingerbread. A printed cakes, which made with special volumetric forms carved out of wood, we have produced in several regions. The most famous of this type is the Tula gingerbread.

Thank you! This is my first house , made in December last year , before embarking on a feared 3 - D gingerbread , thought for a long time need to bother with this) )
 I decorate cookies since 2009. I have been drawing since childhood , has always loved to draw flowers , different patterns .
 How to start decorating cookies - long story... Until then, I just did not see any cookies decorated in life or on the Internet, not paying attention to it .
 While some photos of our traditional gingerbread Arkhangelsk I saw before, but it does not hurt my imagination. Unfortunately , many of those involved in traditional northern painting, artists switched to samples from other countries and who keeps little originality.
European decorated cookies I first saw in 2011 . In Russia we decorate cookies massively only 2-3 years ago. ) ) I can say that in many ways has given impetus the publication of my photos of my cookies on the Internet in mid-2009 and especially in 2010.
In 2010-11 saw a huge number  copied designs. Later they switched to decorated cookies from Europe and America .

Perhaps if there is interest , I can later make a post about the traditional cookies north of our country - Arkhangelsk gingerbread .

Yes, I would love to learn more about the bread as well! Thank you for posting the pictures of the bread and the painted gingerbread cookies-- they are so beautiful!
