I have always loved Flamingos.  I painted them as my last project for Graphic Design at Yavapai College (see below).   I enjoy the bright colors (especially pink).  When I was a kid I wanted to be able to fly away like a bird whenever I wanted.  I could see the world without tight security and cramped leg room.  The Flamingo is the bird I would want to be.  They are beautiful and strut with elegance. 

I made the cookies for my classmates on the last day of class.  I'll be graduating in Graphic Design and will be walking in the ceremony on Saturday.  I used this cookie cutter to make the cookies.  I used the same flamingo shape that I drew for my painting for the cookies.  I wanted the cookies to be colorful like my painting.  I wanted the background to be unique.  I was going to airbrush a pattern, but when icing the green cookie some blue icing spilled on the cookies.  I had to work with what I had.  I took my scribe tool and swirled the icing around.  Then I recreated the same wet on wet design on all the other cookies. 

I've wanted to make flamingo cookies for awhile now.  I'm really happy I was able to share them with my classmates on the last day of school.
