The artist who created this version of little red riding hood, (who's link you can find at the lower left of this blog : Little Miss Arty) has known for a long time that I have wanted to recreate her beautiful print on cookie. I don't quite remember how long, at least a month...but other things have been pushing this project back...Two evenings ago I decided the wait had to come to an end, I needed to do this, but NOW!!! I just love how she made it, but I though it would probably be difficult to get it just right, so I decided to do 3 versions : a cartoony one with black edges, a one dimensioned one-most similar to her print, and a multi-layered one with no background. I decided to go with different shapes (I would have used more think bubbles for the little ones, but I didn't have any cookie cutters that made that effect) and I thought if I put all the elements on one cookie, it may be too crowdy. So these are the cookies I came up with...which one do you prefer?
The multi-layered version, much smaller to eat?
The cartoony version (this is actually the least similar to the print, but the style I like most)?
Or the one dimensional, no border version?
I felt the little cookies looked better in only that one version, made two of each just to have more cookies :)
Last but not least, the cookies next to the original. I tried to stay as close as possible to the original colours, only, I have a photocopied version of the original, so who knows how close my colours really are... Anyway, it took a long time to get this done, and in the end, it went fairly easily and I quite like the result! How do you guys like them?
