I just dot, squiggle and stripe the colors on a base coat. They're all the same consistency. Then you can pull your toothpick thru to make new designs. Simply putting one dot on top of another makes a cool effect.
What is the wet/wet technique?
The basecoat is wet and the detail icing is the same consistency as the basecoat as cindy58 said. I've never tried it but it seam like it would be messy.It just looks really cool.Examples are spider webs,polka dots,and tie dye.
I've done a lot of this on my cookies...look at the marbling effect on the fall leaves, or the halloweeen cookies--spider webs, and I've done it as stitching on baseballs, etc. I have pictures in my photo gallery. Cool technique!
I've never used an eyedropper...seems messy. I use the squeeze bottles with various size tips...then toothpicks if necessary.
charman....The squeeze bottles, are they the 2oz. size with interchangeable tips? Checked on the net and they only come 2 to a pkg . Do you or anyone else know where I can buy them in bulk?

The 2 oz ones with the coupler/changeable tips are my FAVORITE. I have a whole bunch of other bottles that I don't really use anymore. The small bottles hold a typical amount I would mix up, and are easier to hold. I bought them here: http://www.countrykitchensa.com/catalog/product.aspx?T=9&ProductId=619471. I believe I have 14 now, and sometimes have all those colors going. A cool thing about those bottles is that they also come with a regular screw on cap, so if you're saving the icing to use later, just put that cap on and wash out your tip for next time. I haven't seen them any other way than the 2 pack for the 2 oz. bottles.
I don't think wet on wet is messier than other cookie decorating. It's best not to overfill the base coat because you will be adding other colors to it. You have to have "enough" base on though to make it work. I usually use a #3 tip, but less icing would obviously flow from the smaller tips.
I still don't get it. Pictures please.
These are some leaves I did recently with the wet/wet technique. Just swirled the colors together when they were all still wet. It's not as detailed and pretty as what can be done, just a general example.
