Wow, what a celebration of imperfection this turned out to be. Thanks for the challange, Christine! I realized in this set that my cookie cutters that appear to be round, rarely come out with perfect circular cookies (maybe never). And that I always focus on and work around imperfect things (always). Like, I realized that is my style. I shade and alter by eye, everything. I did also learn that on the little bubbles I really like flooding with a counter clockwise motion (no idea why) and that I prefer to start in the center and work my way out. With the larger cookies, same, but trickier and I stayed in the channel of the flood to expand when needed, after done altering with a skewer. But in the end, it's all painted and altered by feel, by eye. I can not instruct on perfection here. But had a super duper amount of fun making these. And learned a ton. Practice does in fact make better, if not perfect! hehe xoxo
Congrats on being our first challenge entrant, @Kim Damon! This is such an adorable set of cookies. I love the theme and the colors are beautiful! I didn't think that it would be an additional challenge to BAKE perfectly round circles, but clearly, that is another little piece to this challenge. I really took to heart what you said about working with and around the perfect - that's really was art and life are about, no?!

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, the lack of a round cookie was a bit of a surprise to me as well! And yes, as with art and life perfection is a great goal, but thankful for grace when I fall short.
