Sweet Southwest

When we went to Durango, CO in October I found a bear cookie cutter that looked like so many of the jewelery pieces we saw. So of course I bought it. But it has taken me this long to finally use it. I drew up an idea based on looking at some silver jewelery on the internet.

As you will see I didn't follow these exactly but it helped to have a guide of sorts.

I wanted to be able to use the leftover colors for some Easter cookies so kept the colors on the more pastel side.

These really were very easy and I just free handed the designs.

First I outlined the whole bear.

Next I just started drawing in the inside dividing lines with my black piping icing.

First I filled in all the turquoise spaces, then I went to purple. (I forgot to take a turquoise only picture)

Next came the yellow spaces.

Then my red (which I tried to keep more coral colored but it is turning very red but that is fine)

Then the lime green color.

And last, the orange. I love how they turned out. I did do some of the bears in solid colors and plan to stencil a black design onto them. I will post them when they are done. 

Now I just need someone to give these to...
