asakiyumeI only have made a few of these so far--just enough to take to my dad--but I hope to make more.
So... here are the cookies just baked. You can tell some got rolled thinner than others. You can maybe see that some of them have heads tipped up, some down, some with wings out, some with wing close to the body, etc. I also flipped two when I put them on the cookie sheet, which I don't usually do, but might try doing more of, because then they can face in different directions.
Here they are with white frosting on them. When the frosting dries, you can paint them.
And here they are painted. They've been rearranged here, because I started to stack them in a box to take to my dad's and then remembered I wanted to take the picture.
We ate these up really quickly! But I have more in the fridge to decorate.
... It's very misty today. It's a good day for being tree tips, all vague and interphase.
Happy December 27th.

Will apply the frosting now, so I can paint tonight because--D'OH!--forget the bit about them hardening...or maybe I'll just do it tomorrow. :P Yes, tomorrow. Frost before bed and paint tomorrow.)

Re: the planning and the waiting and all the bits and pieces: you can see how making these, while fun and rewarding, can also be stressful :-P
