Excellent! How thick was your icing? Did you add piping gel to the icing? I love the texture- it adds so much interest.
Thank you @E. Sherwood. I would say the icing was Outline consistency but it was on the loose side. I did not use piping gel. I think probably a thicker icing would have worked better and provided more definition to the strokes. It worked okay for the pineapple but if a more elegant look is desired, I think a thicker icing is required. I seem to struggle with keeping my consistencies consistent!
Thank you so much @Sweet Prodigy. The brush I ended up using was the third from the left in the photo. It is flat and angled. It was also the firmest. I’m not sure if it is true for everyone but the firmness really helped me when pulling through the lines.
Wow, what a creative use of brush embroidery @LisaF!! I love what you've done to distinguish the different areas of the pineapple. Awesome work Lisa ❤️
This is an excellent first entry into the challenge - and such a clever way to recreate the rough texture of a pineapple. I do like the lines being piped back to back since it really does help to highlight the diamond pattern. Did you have a favorite brush to create this look?
