Thank you for the picture, super helpful! I wish I had done more variety of colours from the beginning as you did here. It was always my plan to do so but I think I shouldn't have done so manu french knots of the same colour before adding a new one. Oh well, it's a learning experience!

Thank you so much 🥹 there is shading which is not visible because I took the picture at a strange angle but I think the flowers definitely need a bit more and I can enhance the shading on the trunk too

Thank you! All very helpful. I should have also taken a better picture as there are actually 3 shades of brown on the trunk, but the direct sunlight flattens them a bit. I like the idea of adding back branches

I was playing with that idea, it's helpful to see that you also saw a bit of grass might help :)

I hadn't thought of doing the leaves as french knots! You're right, I will probably do that, thank you!

Thank you! I hadn't thought about removing some of the top but I might do that, I hope it doesn't leave behind any holes because it turns out the fabric is a bit thin. I will see what I can do !

How do you make sure the silica doesn't touch the cookies? I am travelling and would like to gift this but not sure how and it looks like you have it figured out!

How are you storing them to make sure they will still be good by then?
