im making a bird house for our family reunion and i need some ideas ..... as in colors for the house itself and how to make the birds? what would you use to make them? i know its going to have a butterfly and flowers growing on the house but in lost on the birds i have no idea??? ohh and its for This SAT>!! i know its coming fast. any input would help so much thank you
I've also seen a couple of gumpaste/fondant butterfly tutorials. Oh, for the birdhouse, maybe go for a wood look. Do you have a hardwood impression mat?
ohh wow hardwood nice!! no i do not have an impression mat but im sure i can hand paint it or something but i think if i can do more of an impression like you say. it will look better but what can i use?? ohh and the butterfly im going to use some rice paper for the wings but i have seen the wilton bird but they make it flat i would like it more 3d so im thinking all fondant .
A wooden rolling pin adds some texture and then you could use some sculpting tools to make the woodgraining more defined and then do a paint wash to darken the recesses. HTH.

I have a cake in my gallery with birdhouse and birds. I did them in RKT, covered in fondant with handpainted details. Alot lighter than fondant.
