All of this model painting does have “real life” application!
I’ve never made these before, apparently called salt cookies or something similar. Also apparently not really edible, they become significantly less edible the more acrylic paint you put on them.
I tried some highlighting on the yellow star, but messed it up because stars are internally lit, dumbass so the highlighting is backwards. My second attempt at fanciness was the pink/yellow/white thing in the top right corner, but I couldn’t mix our 4 primary colours together enough to be successful. The bell on the left worked out pretty nicely, although the primary blue could use a little black to grey it out a bit for my NMM. Lastly, I was asked to write words on things that Miranda had painted, which I excelled at. Long years of practicing a steady hand have finally come in useful around the house!
I was asked to guess why we had arrow shapes. The answer is that we don’t have a heart shaped cutter, but we do have a spade shaped cutter…align the arrows with the tops of the hearts to find the answer.
Happy Holidays! 😀

And how did you wind up with a spade cookie cutter but no heart? Did you split a card-themed set 4 ways?

Sometimes we don’t ask further questions, Duke.
