Fall Leaf

The picture of the waterfall in Costa Rica inspired this.  I wanted to do dew drops for awhile now and this gave me the opportunity to try it out.   

Nice - how were the other leaf details done? Handpainted or marbled? Or another method?

Very nice.

Julia - I piped brown RI on the cookie and then flooded it with yellow over the brown (when it dried).  I wanted more texture on the cookie.  I was trying to make the leaf more realistic. I love how the brown shows through and looks like the little brown bumps that are on real leaves. 

When the yellow was wet, I airbrushed the cookie in orange  and added a few drops of orange gel color and pulled it through with a toothpick.  

Hope that helps.  Thanks!

Great, thanks - the overpiping does look great. I added a few clarifying tags and clips sets to this cookie just now to help explain these techniques.

So pretty! Perfect for fall.
