Istanbul Inspiration (Cookie Celebration)

For this challenge I was inspired by the tile cookies on the Istanbul Pinterest Board.  I love tile, I love mosaics, and I adore blues, blue greens, and sea colors in general. So I combined my love of all three AND added some wafer paper as that is my new challenge these days.  I took some pictures along the way so I'll post a new blog within the week if you want to see how it all came together.

Fabulous!  I LOVE the colors, and these definitely evoke the feel of Turkish ceramics.  The challenge is off to a great start!

Thank you Julia.  I think I fixed the link too.  I added another attachment in a PDF file of the two photos I was inspired by.

Here is the link to my blog on the creative process behind this design.  It shows the base hand-painting technique with piping done over it for this cookie and a couple of other recent cookies using the same techniques.  https://cookiecelebrationblog.wordpress.com
