And I have some kind of depression ... Finished weddings for friends (finally, the children decided to get married) nothing supernatural. But for a long time I wanted to draw this particular design. I drew. In general terms, I am satisfied. And there is no joy. Probably the weather is bad.

In general terms, I am satisfied. And there is no joy.

Well drasti! ... What is this blues ?! Tell me, tell me, what is this unearthly white drawing on the dress ?!
The gingerbread cookies are neat, one to one, well, beautiful!

[elena88]

elena88, tie with a melancholy, good gingerbread: I was not too lazy to draw bows, and I made multi-colored roses, and a drawing ...: girl-yes: yes, the drawing is also interesting. Is it kandurin?

[Burunduk]

Burunduk, harmful78, girls, thank you, dear! "Unearthly" drawing is a kandurin using an airbrush through a stencil. Ali has written stencils for this design for a long time. Here is a case to apply.

girls, I also started on the weekend, painted in the lace technique, I have long wanted to try to make translucent icing

[elena88]

elena88, Linen, cool set, chase the blues! This may be the weather's fault, it is cloudy and damp here all the time, but yesterday and this evening the snow piled up, the winter is in full swing, and the roosters (irises) stick out of the snow, I hope they won't freeze, it's minus five on the street, the snow covered them with their heads ... Lenochka, I want to ask, but such a black-black color - was it painted over the gingerbread with a brush in vodka with a gel? When I paint like that, I get stains from a brush, striped turns out, and you have such a smooth-monotone, lovely, and saturated!
Anna26, An, lace is always beautiful and elegant, I like this technique, you did it well, I could have done the icing a little bit thicker so that it would not be so shady. But, these are my cockroaches in my head, and so - everything is as it should be.

[Mona1]

Mona1,

black-black color

maybe it's a paint, I also bought a maaaaalytny tube, 10 centimeters for 280 rubles, but I have never used it yet. And before that, as luck would have it, all the time I came across designs with black color and I certainly wanted to try them, but I was forced to either abandon them, or mix everything different until black, and this, I will say, does not come out very nicely.

made icing a little thicker

Tanya, you know, this was the first time I interfered with icing to such a state. Can't imagine - I dropped a drop of water, added icing, stirred it, I tried it - it was too transparent, I added more, I tried it - it was transparent again. And so it’s about five times less than normal. To be honest, I thought my gingerbread would turn sour from my experiments.

Mona1,
Did you see that I got an awl? Daddy fitted it to me with a glamorous pink pen)))

[elena88]

, you got a nice girl, the dress is so voluminous and I also like the combination of colors. And the inscription seems to have been conceived.

Thank you!) Since many people like the inscription, I calmed down and I will continue to create))

Added Monday 21 Mar 2016 10:55 AM

elena88, really, why did you become sour?)) Eat fruit, get some vitamin and create with pleasure!)) This vitamin deficiency affects) ...
Neat gingerbread!) Made with soul!) ..

Added Monday, 21 Mar 2016 10:57 AM

Anna26, Anna, I like the technique)) maybe, for sure, do it a little tighter) ... but it's great diluted and applied neatly)

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tan, I painted the icing with black American color. It must also be borne in mind that when it dries it darkens. Therefore, I do not do coal black, but a color like wet asphalt. Then it takes on its rich color. To paint with a brush is a thankless task: it will take a long time, both stains and paint will go away no less. And the fingers will be painted from the gingerbread.

thanks girls)

[Anna26]

Anna26, An, sample pen transparent icing was successful Well, yes, the density can be adjusted, but the overall impression is good. I, too, so far only dream of experimenting with this technique, but so far my hands do not reach.

[Anna26]

Anna26, An, awl class, but a needle would also be useful, it is easier to pierce the bubbles with it than it is thinner with an awl. so that and that, and that will come in handy on the farm.

[elena88]

elena88,
Flax, can I dilute it again, this time thicker, and walk on top? I'm afraid it will be hot
Mona1,
Tanya, yes, I blissed out yesterday, it is much easier to pierce the bubbles with an awl, the toothpick is completely stupid)))

How to make craquelure
one more way (icing + paint)

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Ira, decided on freedom to take a closer look at the work. the dear lady came out. But the rush in our business (although this itself) is not appropriate, there would be no need to wait until the icing dries

[Anna26]

Anna26, Anh, don't touch it anymore. Best the enemy of the good. Experiment next time.

[lilycha]

lilycha, in classmates there is also Natasha, she has plastic forms. If necessary, I can drop the link from my computer at home

Added Monday, 21 Mar 2016 12:48 PM

olesia32, Olesya, probably you have coarse powder. I have 000 atekovskaya can be hammered, and the rest is rare. if so, it is better to sift immediately. and if I have icing in the cornet, it becomes sugar-coated and then yes, the problem

[elena88]

no, wait until the icing dries

Vera completely agrees, it was necessary to wait longer. There, on the wings with liquid icing, I drew and it seemed to me that they were already dry, but NO it was not!

Added Monday, 21 Mar 2016 1:04 pm

elena88, beautiful wedding gingerbread, neat work, as always! The colors black and red are so intense and kandurin gives the gingerbread even more sophistication. After all, the airbrush is cool. Lena, tell me what kind of airbrush you have and where you bought it, I'm looking in Greece now, but I haven’t decided yet, and I don’t really know about airbrushes
And the blues will pass, it's spring's fault!

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Ira, thanks for the assessment and support Aer bought the easiest one in China. 🔗
I don't use it much yet. But I'm happy so far.

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina,
Thank you, Ira))
elena88,
Okay I will not

[elena88]

Good day to all! girls who use an airbrush, tell me which airbrush to choose. so that it does not bounce around the table and hum like a vacuum cleaner. and, as I understand it, you need to order with aliexpress? although even there, they have become so expensive! I thank in advance those who respond;))

Added Monday, 21 Mar 2016 2:14 PM

elena88, Elena! while writing your question, you have already answered)), but can you tell us more about the one you are using?

[ledi]

ledi, yes, if possible, though I have already ordered the form, but let it be next time

I was drawn to folk motives :-) Firebirds :-)

[Burunduk]

Burunduk,
Super, Tanya! Is it a brush?

[Burunduk]

Burunduk, Tanya, I can't calmly look at your work. And don’t you dare say that you don’t know how to draw such gingerbread, you always turn out great !!! You look at such masterpieces and you feel ... I don't know what to call it. probably it's time to open a new topic: paintings on a gingerbread. Their simple ones. and even plagiarism is a shame to expose

Is it a brush?

With a brush, some accents are made there, and everything is icing!

And don’t you dare say that you don’t know how to draw such gingerbread, you always turn out great !!! You look at such masterpieces and you feel ... I don't know what to call it. probably it's time to open a new topic: paintings on a gingerbread. Their simple ones. and even plagiarism is a shame to expose

Well, I didn’t draw it myself, but made a copy from the picture :-) Thank you very much for the "masterpiece", very nice, but Verun is, in fact, a simple gingerbread to implement. Almost all of them consist of deposited "droplets", you know how to make them perfectly. Another thing, of course, is to figure out how to fit these little rulers-dots into a beautiful picture - this is the whole difficulty, here you need a notion, imagination, and skills. And since there are none, I work with ready-made pictures. Where I know, I indicate the author, but where I don’t know - sorry ... :-)
And oh how familiar your feelings are to me ... Only it will seem that I can do something, and then - bam! "How it hits the head with art" - this is LarisaU about the work of olesya555, she said, right in the top ten :-) That's how I look at Judith's work. I look and sigh .... :-)
And I will probably include the gingerbread in the MK program.

[elena88]

Hello girls. I haven't written for a long time, haven't put my 3rd and 4th gingerbreads on your court. A neighbor asked me the other day if I would undertake to make 75 gingerbread cookies for a wedding, of course I would, BUT ... The question is the price. In general, I am still a cuff, no accuracy, no imagination, no experience, nothing, and I can not evaluate like everyone else. Tell me, do they really cost like that 3-5 and more for 1 piece? I tell her maybe 10,000 Belarusian rubles (0.5 ye) - 1 piece, or 750,000 for 75 pieces, she speaks dearly. And what size should they be for giving hearts like a dress and a tailcoat?

Added Monday 21 Mar 2016 06:38 PM

elena88What size are your wedding gingerbread cookies? And what did you paint black with? I somehow tried to make black-black straight, my icing became so liquid horror, but I did not achieve the desired color

[grischakowa]

grischakowa, Nataliya, very original coloring pages!

And what did you paint black with?

Lena has already answered this question

Mona1, Tan, I painted the icing with black American.

And this ... What monetary units are you talking about?

Added on Monday 21 March 2016 6:51 pm

painted in the lace technique, I have long wanted to try to make translucent icing

Anya, the technique is very interesting, smart! Here I looked and looked, I thought that there was no pronounced contrast between the background and the lace because of the liquid asing, but then I noticed that the main drawings were also not snow-white, as if a little transparent. Apparently this is the quality of the photo.
On Lerin varnish, such lace should look incomparable. This is me, sly, pushing the experiment :-)

[elena88]

elena88, Lenus, wedding gingerbread cookies are good! Made very carefully, with black icing (I already know), it is very difficult to work.
The bride's dress is very delicate, I would say - exquisite, did a great job with an airbrush!
But, it seems to me that colored roses on a white dress are inappropriate, unless they were in pastel colors, although I would not put them at all.

Another question, Lenus, tell me please, what paints did you use for the airbrush? My husband gave me an airbrush, and I'm so scared to start something with him, although I have been planning to work with stencils for a long time.
, do you need a stencil right next to the gingerbread? do you somehow strengthen, or just apply?

Added on Monday 21 March 2016 7:01 PM

Burunduk, Tanyushik, well, your masterpieces are difficult to comment on
As always, it is very original and performed with skill, the eye rejoices and the heart is warm

Added Monday, 21 March 2016 7:04 PM

Anna26, Anh, for a beginner you are making great strides! I loved the lace ones!
I already wanted to create something like this myself, especially since someone here suggests that it would look good on a lacquer base

[Sahara]

It's me, sly, I'm pushing to experiment

yes, I thought so)))) But I'm afraid of doing something, I can't even imagine how it will be, since I've never seen it live.

Added Monday, 21 Mar 2016 7:20 PM

Sahara,
Lera, thank you, an outside assessment is important to me) the varnish definitely needs to be tested, it's just harder to whiten the icing for lace)

Few new Easter ones. A lamb, a chicken, a couple of 10 cm bunnies, a bunny with a basket 12 cm, eggs on a stick 7 cm, an egg without a stick 8 cm, large eggs 12 cm.

Added Monday 21 Mar 2016 09:13 PM

There were similar ones last year, only the felling is different - the egg is more round and with a bow.

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lerochka, I am always amazed at your efficiency! You already have Easter with might and main. And I have not even thought in this direction yet. All gingerbread cookies are good and positive. I especially liked the bunnies in plaid pants. And what size testicles on sticks? And one more thing: how did you blush hares and chickens?
Leer, you may be right about the flowers on the dress. But I wanted to add a bright touch to the understated black and white design. And also packed in bags with red and white ribbons to make it brighter and more fun. There will be a case, I'll try to do it in pastel colors. Aera paints used dry Ukrasa. Well, and Kandurin too. I diluted everything with vodka by eye. She simply applied the stencil to the gingerbread and held it with her hand.

[elena88]

elena88, Lenus, on a stick - 7 cm, by the way, according to Irochka's advice (thank you very much), I held the sticks in a squirrel, before sticking them into hot gingerbread - they hold tight!

Blush on the advice of Larisa (God bless her!), Mixed dry coral paint with starch, then applied with a soft brush, I cut it short, especially for this case.

And I began to work belatedly, we have Catholics, Easter in a week.
I still won't leave from March 8 ..

Some new Easter

Lera, this is a mystery to me ... How can you make hundreds of such gingerbread cookies ?! They have the level of an individual order, and you have a flow ... Where do you get horizontal surfaces to dry them? Bee! I here by the eighth of March portrayed a hundred, I thought I would die)))))))
I'll bring my own Easter ones too, maybe someone will like the idea.

[Burunduk]

Burunduk, Tan, postcard best! And you are, of course, right: Lerin's gingerbreads are striking in quality and variety. Especially when you take into account their incredible number

Burunduk, Tan, postcard best!

Len, thanks! The postcard is quite simple to perform, I prepared it for the mini-MK. Here is a girl-student portrayed in 5 hours (on the left is mine, on the right is her).

Who needs it - I can send a picture.

Added Monday 21 Mar 2016 9:59 pm

Girls, they ordered me a big (20x20) story gingerbread, a wife for her husband on his 55th birthday. My husband is a fisherman, we agreed to play on this theme. Does anyone have interesting pictures about fishing? I would be grateful for ideas :-)

Where do you take horizontal surfaces to dry them?

Tanya, I bought 2 shelves specially for such a case, each has 9 shelves of 3 spacing, in principle, if you work smartly, you just get to make new baked goods while the previous one dries.
Here is a working photo, random ... I can't hide the spoiler on the tablet.

Wedding hearts measuring 9x8cm. I already talked about paints in more detail above. I can’t say anything about the price, because I didn’t do such things for sale before. And these are free for close friends. But for the price I am guided by YAM. Well, and on the real purchasing power of the environment. Mostly my friends order from me. Therefore, I do it almost at cost. I'm not a businesswoman

[Lera]

Lera, there it is! ))))))))))))))))
And I use a vegetable dryer for other purposes)))

Tanya, I really liked the postcard, it's funny. I generally like such funny pictures with humor.
