Unicorn Project - Bohemian

I was so in love with the dream catchers I made the other day that I made some more to go with today's unicorns.  I really love the whole bohemian vibe; it's young and fresh.  The unicorn dream catchers from last week inspired me to make the traditional ones as well.  I'm very happy that I was able to cross another item off my cookie "bucket list".

I used the unicorn head from this set.  I piped and flooded the whole cookie with white icing.  I was going to cover the while unicorn with triangles like these cookies.  I used this stencil to create the pattern.  After airbrushing, I used light pink icing to pipe on arrows and dots.

To make the dreamcatchers, I used the octopus cutter from this set and a circle. I cut the head off the octopus and attached the circle.  That sounds brutal, but it's really not.  If you want to make a more traditional (tear drop shaped) dreamcatcher, just use the octopus. I have a picture below of how I started to decorate the dreamcatchers.  First I piped a small circle in the center and started to create the atom shape.  I did this part to look as if the webbing was inside or under the outer loop.

 Once I had progressed around the whole cookie, I took dark brown and piped around the outer edge of the circle to create the hoop.  I took blue, purple and pink and piped some dots on the webbing randomly to look like beads.  I piped small lines from the webbing over the dark brown to make it look like the webbing was attached to the hoop. Then I piped four lines coming down from the hoop.  At the end of each line I made a feather.  To achieve the feather, I piped a blob and used my scribe tool to form it into a feather shape.  Again, I added some beades.  I painted some of them with gold luster dust.  I really love how these cookies turned out.
