There's no way I could pipe a grid so perfectly! I used my favorite mat to achieve the perfect canvas. Yay! There's nothing like having the right tools to help us cookiers create works of art . A special credit goes to both Michele Hester of SugarVeil (https://www.sugarveil.com/sugarveil-story) and Julia @Julia M. Usher for their collaborative work in the design of this awesome mat!! Thank you both .
I am often inspired by the many gorgeous works of Manu @Manu biscotti decorati She uses this same mat to create the perfect canvas for several of her designs . Her tennis racket was the first of many projects that really stood out in my mind. You can see it at https://cookieconnection.julia...com/clip/tennis-manu.
The technique of overpiping with 2 colors as I did on my heart cookie is not original. I've seen it many times throughout the many hours of scouring through hundreds of beautiful artistic cookies. I don't know who was the originator of the idea but it's a really beautiful technique. I have lots of practice yet to do in order to perfect it but it was a fun cookie to make . I'm just glad I wasn't making 150 of any of these cookies like Lisa does each week @LisaF HaHa. But they were all fun to make as part of the set of cookies for my mom's 86th birthday ❤️
Oh Carol, this is such a beautiful set! I love the colours you used, the pink over purple looks stunning. But the lace work is beyond gorgeous! Your Mum has a loving daughter 💕 Such a neat gift 💝
Oh Carol, what do I see for a dreamy cookie set!?!! Every single one is beautiful !!! And these colors... I am totally in love with the pigeons !! As always Carol - such a wonderful, wonderful work !!! ❤️😘@Cookies Fantastique (and I must smile...)

Oh Heather, you are always so very thoughtful and kind. Thank you ❤️. I haven't seen my mom in at least 3 years . She doesn't live close by any longer. I can't travel that far anymore and really miss her. We speak often .
I love the striking color combination and how you have been able to blend so many techniques flawlessly. The set is looking so perfect and in harmony that it takes a second look to really understand the amount of work behind every single cookie! Just beautiful.💜🎀💜

Ohh, I’m so sorry, dear Carol. I really hope you can go and visit her once this madness is over! So glad and grateful for technology which allows us to be close in spite of distances.♥️♥️
86th Birthday! Your mom must be really happy with your pretty cookies, happy birthday to her🎂🍾
Oh, I just wish I could see her face when she opens up the box!! She's my biggest supporter and marketer. HaHa! It's what mothers do. Thank you so very much for your kind comment dear Ryoko @Ryoko ~Cookie Ave.❤️❤️

You are so right Heather @Heather Bruce Sosa!! Technology helps to bridge the miles between us. She's got an old style phone rather than a smart phone so I can't "see" her when we talk. Hearing her voice, though, always uplifts my spirit ❤️. I am so thankful to God for the close relationship that we have. Be safe and well my dear friend!!
