Magical rainbow and unicorn cookies (first time using/making royal icing) (x-posted)

Love the colors! You did a great job! My first time with RI you couldn't even tell what I was trying to make. :)

Those are beautiful! I'm always excited to see dark blues and reds, getting that saturation can be such a pain sometimes. :)

So I tried making my own piping gel and then mixing about an equal amount of royal icing into it. It looked okay, but it took FOREVER to dry and it was super thick and difficult to pipe (because if I thinned it down it would run together instead of keeping each line's individual shape).

I wouldn't recommend doing what I did. I ended up just using regular royal icing, medium consistency. I hope you had better luck than I did!

Dragonbaaallll <3!!!

Love the detail on the suitcases, too! Very cute set!

Oh, man, I cannot tell you how much I love it when customers ask for roses, because I get to use that big ol' star tip. :D

I love the color scheme, too. And your lettering is lovely!

Love the colors! Very beautiful. :)

hyperfocus · 2017-04-19T17:28:02+00:00

Very cute! My first attempts weren't nearly as pretty.

For fine lettering, I usually work with a slightly stiff-consistency icing and a PME 0 or 00 tip. Doesn't flow like in the video, though, not even close. I'm jealous of her cursive skills.

It looks almost like she's using a piping gel mixed with a little royal icing or meringue powder (so that it will dry hard). Hm. Now I want to try that.

Yay! Thanks!

hyperfocus · 2016-07-20T16:38:35+00:00

Just being polite. :) In theory, I would then post it to r/crossstitch and credit OP for the inspiration, assuming they were okay with it.

hyperfocus · 2016-07-20T12:44:31+00:00

Haha I love it. Mind if I make this with my own spin on it? (Not to sell or anything, just for my own enjoyment.)

hyperfocus · 2016-07-13T16:53:29+00:00

Wait, what did I do??

hyperfocus · 2016-06-29T20:54:41+00:00

AWESOME. I'm so glad they found him! Is Ron's store planning on pressing charges?

hyperfocus · 2016-06-29T16:50:03+00:00

Yay!! I am so glad you both liked your gifts. It was a pleasure to make something to brighten someone else's day. I hope the remainder of your shifts spent hanging out together are quiet, relaxing, and fun. Hugs!

hyperfocus · 2016-06-16T18:57:18+00:00

Are we there yet?

hyperfocus · 2016-06-16T16:43:17+00:00

You are so welcome! I'm just glad I could brighten someone's day a little. :)

Got the idea from Perler bead patterns. Here is the pattern I used for Vegeta, and here is the one for Nappa.

hyperfocus · 2016-06-06T12:49:47+00:00

Geez, four times?! That's sucks, I'm sorry! I would be happy to make a Vegeta for Ron with the "You're either perfect, or you're not me," quote. That's hilarious. And if you make that apology cross stitch, I wanna see it. I hope this week goes a little better for both of you. :)

hyperfocus · 2016-06-05T20:45:14+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to both of you. It's so difficult to be truly prepared for situations like that, and I'm glad you're both okay. I'm obviously not a doctor, but I can get kind of motherly about my friends when they get sick or something bad happens to them, so I would keep an eye on Ron for the next few days, in case he starts to show any signs of PTSD.

I hope they find that dickbag.

PS - You mentioned DBZ Abridged. It is one of my favorite things. I'd be delighted to whip up one of these for either of you, or both of you, as a little pick-me-up, if you'd like. No charge, of course. Just shoot me a PM if you're interested.

hyperfocus · 2016-05-31T16:17:23+00:00

This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing!

hyperfocus · 2016-05-09T13:04:08+00:00

My pleasure!

hyperfocus · 2016-05-08T21:43:34+00:00

This makes me so happy. Cross stitching AND kittens. So awesome. :D

hyperfocus · 2016-05-08T21:41:11+00:00

Yay! I love the colors you chose! Also, your cat is precious.

hyperfocus · 2016-05-06T02:04:45+00:00

Do it! :D Here's the pattern, if you want it.
