I have a current obsession...other than cookies...it's hot air balloons. I mean, I've always loved to look at them. I think they're fascinating. But lately, I've been searching the web for pictures of them. I've found several cool pictures on Pinterest. (ugh. And, *confession* that's my current addiction! If you don't know what it is, then it's probably for the best. Pinterest, in a nutshell, is a time machine. You get on there, and 2 hours disappear.)
So, to humor my new obsession, I wanted to create hot air balloon cookies. I didn't (still don't) have an actual hot air balloon cookie cutter. I went searching through my cookie cutter collection (that is ever rapidly increasing) to find a shape that I could make into a hot air balloon. I decided to use my diamond ring cutter, upside down, of course. (I've discovered that I really enjoy re-purposing cookie cutters. Last week, I used a snowman to create an owl. I'll share those pictures later.) For now, I'll share pictures of the hot air balloons.
I gave them to a good friend of mine in Columbus. Just because.
The hearts were my 7 year old niece's favorites.
And the flowers were one of the recipient's favorites.
But I think these...
...were my favorites.
I hope to do these again. When I have more time to spend on them. (Cleaning up the wiggly lines.)Using more colors. Because they were lots of fun.
As always, think cookies.
