One of my favorite memories from my school days is a game my third grade teacher used to have us play called squiggles. The way it worked is that she would hand out a white worksheet with nothing on it but a black squiggly line. She then set a timer and we had a few minutes to make the design into a picture. I LOVED this game. I liked it so much that I would even play it at home by myself for hours. It was so stimulating to me to turn random scribbles into cheerleaders, flowers, bumblebees, and any other thing my mind came up with that day.
I guess this "hobby" carried into my adult life, because I often find myself gazing at random objects and transforming them into something else in my mind. My new favorite things to transform are my cookie cutters. It is kind of a challenge to me. So, for the next three days, I will be using the one cookie cutter to make three completely different designs. I thought about telling you which cutter it was, but I think it would be more fun to guess!
Day 9
Oh this is totally cute. Im starting on my Xmas designs but I love this. I cant tell what this cutter is though. lol
ReplyDeletecutest snowman ever. Love the texture of the carrot nose.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I was going to say the monster truck cutter, but I don't think that's right.
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of your work. I do need to ask about your daily icing... do you just keep royal icing around all the time or are you making tiny batches each day to do your work? Do you have any tutorials on your blog about your techniques, coloring icing, etc?
ReplyDeleteMy attempt at royal icing has just been mediocre. I made Star Wars cookies (using the WS cutters) and they were pretty amateurish. Good thing they were just for a 4 year old party :)
Thanks for any suggestions. I would love to get better at making these cookies! The possibilities are endless!
Your creativity is amazing! I have an idea of the cutter, but not 100% sure, so I'll wait for tomorrow's COOKIE... hehe, this is fun :)
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a time one of your teachers asked me to make a poster for her. It was all of the class' thumbprints and I had to turn them into things. Think it was for Halloween. Great cookie! I love snowmen!
ReplyDeletei remember squiggles too from the third grade. loved them! after creating the picture we use to have to make up and write a story about it. when i was teaching, i even had my jh kids do them. they loved them too!!!
