Instagram is great. So much inspiration and great energy from people we might never get to know otherwise. I discovered Hiba Chocolates and in this post she really got me thinking about what I wanted to accomplish with my chocolates this year. I've decided it was the year to experiment and perfect my craft. So with a big thanks to Hiba, I've started working away at it. My friends are thankful to her as well, they get to eat all the rejects as I experiment.
I started with something simple, playing with tape. I used both vinyl and paper, and have had much cleaner edges with vinyl tape. Some of the tape is very thin, about 1mm. Here's the output from playing with tape a bit.
Tape down the middle, and a toothpick to scrape away the paint for X&O
Criss Cross Tape, two different widths, and three dots using different width "dotters".
Criss-Cross tape, same width.
Thank you Hiba!
