December Daily - Geometric Reindeer Heads

You can't have Christmas without reindeer.  I've made many different reindeer over the years.  This year I wanted to try something different.  The inspiration for these came from all the images I've been seeing on Esty, like the ones here.

I used this cookie cutter to make the cookies, but this design can be applied to any animal shape.  I really want to try it with a fox or giraffe.  This is the color pallet I used for the icing colors.  I wanted a color pallet that had grey and soft lighter colors.  I only used five of the colors.  I started out by drawing the geometric shapes on the cookie with a food coloring marker. (shown below)  Then I filled in each section with a different color making sure two touching shapes were not the same color.
