sprinkle orange sugar on pink icing, and you get a peachy color.
sprinkle it on red, and its like fall leaves. sprinkle green on green
and it's emeraldy, but sprinkle yellow on green and it hints at an
obnoxious chartreuse. i used graham crackers to test my colors. favorite
results include teal, lavendar, and sky blue.
who doesn't like rainbow dots?
the
color experiment started with the bright idea to decorate graham
crackers like little paintings. i could do greeting cards! the last
supper! alas, the nature of graham crackers is absorbant and crumbly,
and can't stand up to a layer of icing, unless it's purely for
decoration. the rainbow in the slideshow was the sole survivor of the
evening. the rest were soft, the colors bled... i'll stick with my sugar
cookies, but for practice, poping open a box of crackers beats mixing,
rolling, cutting and baking another batch.
any freestyle images you'd like to see on a cookie? i'm on the hunt for a large square or rectangle as a canvas.
