I did 2 new things this week, the first I made mexican paste slightly different from gumpaste, however it seems more fragile to me ,then gumpasteis . i had a lot of breakage with respect to the butterflies that I made with mynew patch work cutters. You can find them athttp://www.globalsugarart.com/ I would however like to purchase a how to book for the patchwork cutters I thnk I might be doing somethng wrong..
I also attmepted to paint with on these butterflies although the loook rather large in the pictures they are really quite small. The first one I will post is just a red butterfly which did with pearl dust you can tell form the picture but it gave a nice pearlized finish. The second I used foodcoloring and lemon extract, it came out ok , put I need to work on my painting skill a bit. My mother had great painting skills so hopefully some have rubbed off on to me. The third on it a mix of painting and pearl dust this came out the best out of all 3 Ithink although it is only one wing , they are fragile.
That is all for today
Have a great long weekend I intend to .
