We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

Romashka_a, cool gingerbread! This is not for everybody, after all, to be honest, I also like it more when the fill under the edge and the dough does not peep out. Apparently, this also needs to be discussed with customers (
The penguin is very cute! He only has something with a hat ... As if he is also wearing a black hood over a hat) Black around a white face is also a head?

Thank you! yes, apparently you need to stipulate absolutely everything ... I wanted a hat for a lihvatsky sideways)) apparently, it did not work out very well) black yes, head)

[Romashka_a]

Romashka_a, alla, do not even worry! Very beautiful and very complex cars. So many details, each separately ... I recently did too, but simplified it as best I could



And about the price I will say this: do not do it cheap. Don't be afraid to name the price for your work. If the client leaves, then it is not your client. Either he has no money, or he is too greedy. Why do you need this ??? You better have a rest at this time or spend time with your family. I had such a case: they asked, asked the price for a set (not cheap, I will say right away). And then I saw him at my competitor. Yes, much worse quality. But it is cheaper. At first I was upset, and then I thought: why do I need such a client who is ready to strangle himself for 200-300 rubles? You won't get large orders from him, but for small orders the whole brain will endure. I sometimes do cheaply complex things, but this is in those cases when I really want this in my archive. This was the case with a large magazine with names. I didn't want to do it just for myself - it was very laborious. Therefore, I did it for the first time with a minimal mark-up. And recently they ordered one again, so I called it in full. So people not only ordered it, then they also gave a little more money. They said that for the urgency.

[harmful78]

harmful78, Liz, I was also one asking for prices, then she says it's expensive. I tell her, you can simplify the design as much as possible and get 100 rubles. She is still expensive! And now she hangs out every day at my place. And I decided for myself that if I want to order, I’ll say that everything is already packed. I don’t want her to tell her at corners that I’m breaking the price

Girls all the good time of the day. Well, I'll show you some of my works too. I have really simple ones. I'm just learning. criticism and tips are welcome) the first two photos are from MK (my teacher helped me a little there)). the rest were already at home I did the presam myself)




and I was trying to succumb to the New Year's mood. something did not work out (((I quickly concocted

Girls, I want to say thank you to all of you! It's just like being in a family, and it becomes easier!
ElenaS, very beautiful gingerbread! such a bunny)))

Elena, EVEN it turned out very well and the bear is cute, cute. well, I have a weakness for bears ...

[ElenaS]

ElenaS, good work - smooth smooth fill, neat. And the snowflakes are beautiful, do not slander. But something is missing on the gingerbread with a Christmas tree, it looks empty, unfinished. Happy new year or 2017 ... or something like that ... beautiful, but a little unfinished. Well, and my personal opinion: the color combination in the first photo is unsuccessful

Thanks a lot!
aha .. aha .. a consonant is not enough ... it made me itching to paint the gingerbread and the cake had to be collected, so this is not a finished novel
... but you know how ... the first time at MK .. I asked everything ... even what color is better ... and in some cases I did not agree with the teacher about the color scheme, but did not argue .. After all, I graduated from art school and I have a slightly different idea of ​​the combination of colors .... but for the first time I did everything as I was told .. well, at home I already broke away) and the photophone was dark there and the photo was taken in the evening. ..

Thanks to all the girls I am very pleased!
girls tell me and I think correctly ... if I, for example, paint a couple of barboskins ... I can not buy a uniform? you can draw the character himself on a leaf or cardboard, say 10-11 centimeters, step back 1-1.5 cm around the figure itself and cut cardboard along the outline. then put on a rolled layer of gingerbread dough and carefully cut with a knife ..., eh?

This is exactly what I do when I need to make a couple of pieces, not a dozen. I paste over a cardboard template (thicker) on the inside with adhesive tape, so the dough sticks less to it.

Chamomile! Such great cars! Hard work. Super!
My boys would be very glad to them! And such customers, God forbid anyone!

I'm bringing my first sleigh. My first test of a sleigh feather in my life.


Stand 36 x 13 cm.Sugar dough, but soda 1.5 tsp + cocoa added a bit

[Elena]

Wow! Elena, what a beauty!

Thank you, Mahfuza! here is another family

Oh my god! Lenochka: hi: LONGLY OBSERVING YOUR CREATIONS! I SIT AND THINK WHAT I AM ABLE: girl_cray1: Well done!
P.S would have sat in such a fabulous sleigh! Sanchez word! Such emotions overwhelm me now !!!!!

[floksovodik]

floksovodik, Blimey! nothing is a test of the pen! Helen is a great job. well done!

Thank you girls! Somewhere I saw a finished felling of such a sleigh, expensive. I had to cut out each curl with a knife both of the deer and the sled. Chesslovo, dreary. But the result is worth it!

Thank you, Mahfuza! here is another family

The beauty! But I won't start in any way

I don't really like icing, so I just try to draw everything. They did it together with a 2-year-old daughter, so it was crooked and the sketch from the brush remained, did not hide it. This is what is left, the rest is presented. Almond biscuits, size about 6 cm

And like this, with a brush, I do not know how

[Leila]

Leila, gingerbreads are just lovely!

Added Sunday 06 Nov 2016 00:36

Please tell me, how and how do you sketch?

[floksovodik]

floksovodik, Arlei, do not cease to amaze! Clever girls!

And I have a question about decorators. Here they write, toning with dry dyes. This means pollen or the dyes themselves are dry. I tried, nothing came of it, the powder flies off the glaze. Maybe I was just softly too dusty? I tried it with a sponge, but I'm not used to such a blooper! But I liked the print from the silicone stencil. I moistened the sponge with the paint diluted in vodka, blotted the image with it and gently sealed it on the gingerbread. How to properly handle toning?

[Mahfuza]

Mahfuza, I draw from the picture with pens, there is no screen. Here I lightly outlined the contour with a brush, and then painted. I try natural (coffee, vegetables, berries), dry like this (I dilute with water),

sometimes slightly gel. Brush 00.
Dry, I don't understand either ... she doesn't hold on?

[Leila]

Leila, thank you dear!

I paste over a cardboard template (thicker) from the inside with adhesive tape, so the dough sticks less to it.

so as not to bother with scotch tape, I cut it out of the cake pads. and dense / durable / and does not stick to the dough. after work I wiped it, put it in a box and until the next time. over time, someone will want the same gingerbread, and the form is already ready.

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, Thank you! It looks like Julia is using pollen. I have several of these jars

[floksovodik]

But I liked the print from the silicone stencil

I was also interested in this topic recently. saving time and labor, that's just how to choose the right stamps and pad for them. Referred to for nutritional use. Isn't all this harmful? and an approximate pricing policy, well, so cheap and cheerful. I went through online stores for scrapbook, found stamps, but did not see a pillow for them, what is the correct name? Can someone tell me.?
floksovodik, Len is well and a craftswoman, I dream of starting everything, I am leading a grandiose preparation for the New Year, and you BAM! And the SANI is served! yes even with deer!

Arlei! Beautiful pictures are obtained. It's a pity we didn't see the rest

choose the right stamps and pad for them.

Laris, I ordered stamps for Ali. But I strained with a pillow - everything is with paints. So I went to the store, bought the usual fine-pored cosmetic sponges and tried them. Fine!!!!! I apply the paint diluted with vodka with a brush on the sponge, and blot the stencil with it. Here's my rehearsal gingerbread. Tried sponge-labeled pollen and stencils on spoiled gingerbread

[floksovodik]

floksovodik, well! I was always tormented by the question of how to make gingerbread with small text, under the newspaper. Here is the answer dear .... stamps. Yeah ... oh to learn and learn.

[Elena]

Elena, great! Give me a reference to the stamps, otherwise I look and I can't make up my mind. Which ones did you like?

I'm bringing my first sleigh. My first test of a sleigh feather in my life.

Elena, I like it very much! so neat, so tasteful, very beautiful !!!!!

[floksovodik]

floksovodik, Lena, do you need slickagel? Are these stamps somehow glued to him? I have such transparent plates, but intended for other cases, about 8 mm thick, maybe the same material too. I also want to order stamps, I will try with my "silica gel" for now, probably, it will suddenly work.

girls, good afternoon everyone !! Newbies - welcome !!!

Do you need slickagel?

Nazyvatstsa this contraption is an acrylic block. On some sheets with different stencils, my pictures do not separate (in particular, fonts). Of course, it is more convenient to stick to the block. By the way, I found a quite budget version of the block in the internet 🔗

So I decided to use custom stamps. They asked for the Provence service. Well, yes, there are jambs, I see.

[Elena]

Elena, the service is just beauty!

[ElenaS]

ElenaS, Lena, with MK - beautiful smooth gingerbread! .. But for the eye, the color combination is "too heavy" .. I don't know how to say))
Yours are much warmer and cuter!) Although the pictures are tiny)

floksovodik, Lena, the sleigh is awesome !!!) No test of the pen!)

Added Sunday 06 Nov 2016 08:26 PM

floksovodik, but here, Lena, I would not find fault)) Provence)) It looks interesting and beautiful ..)
Well, it would be chic in general if there is an even outline, clear plates, etc. ...))

clear plates, etc.

So I wanted a clear outline, even plates. But there is no cutting for them, I drew on a cardboard and cut out on it. The couple, in addition, their hands were trembling today, some kind of weakness in the hands formed. The customer is insanely happy, and I will improve

[Elena]

Elena, the most important thing is that the customer is satisfied, and the rest is fixable

Girls, various New Year's trays-bags-boxes, including tin ones, appeared in the fix. More metal cuttings - a man, mittens, Christmas trees, snowmen. And the non-stick mat is expected to be inexpensive.

🔗




These tin cans can be bent according to their own pattern, if so many mittens are not needed.

Good luck!

I've already bought it. Mine saw the packages and say, what are you robbing the store? And boxes, and felling, and trays, and gadgets are different. Painfully like the boxes!

Girls, give me an idea pliz ... you need to make a gingerbread gold medal. for a boy in athletic performance ... I have no gold dye. only kandurin. tomorrow I may find a gold dye ...

I want to order stamps

Give me a link to stamps

These are the stamps

Here MK on mastic https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=160311.0

Girls, give me an idea pliz

Is it really necessary that it is gold? After all, this is a stylization, not an authentic product. Therefore, you can bake the gingerbread until golden brown, so that it is not very dark, and cover it with yellow glossy varnish on top. It will be quite clear what is meant.
Or how?
Look at me here yellow gingerbread cookies (under yellow varnish - three eggs in the corners and the top chicken) looked quite golden, with an almost metallic sheen, alive even more like gold.
So you can not even paint, but immediately bake in relief - quickly, conveniently. Then just tint. Or how?

only kandurin

and what color kandurin? if gold, then make beige or brown icing, and cut with gold kandurin on top. Gold will not show up on white icing.

... need to make a gingerbread gold medal

that's what I did. Maybe it will help

Yes, I did light yellow icing and gold kandurin

Well, I did something with a stamp, but here either a mold is needed, or modeling, or artistic carving.

But interestingly, the varnish lays down on icing?

Added on Monday, 07 Nov 2016 4:29 PM

floksovodik, Helen, straight gold! The cups are cool, and the medals, don't be offended, they are more similar by 1 ruble, but next to the cups it is clear that this is a medal.

By the way, you can also not gold, but this patriotic option:
