Beautiful Handcrafted Gifts

Can you imagine receiving a plate of these stunning cookies (from Faerie Magazine.) I would feel very loved. Wish I had the talent and patience, or even the steady hand, to make something so lovely. ❤️ Do you have a favorite handcrafted gift, food or otherwise?

I did not have a favorite craft item or type until now - these cookies ! Beautiful - whoever created them is a very talented artist. I don't think I would be able to take a bite and ruin them.

Biting into them would be sad and glorious at the same time!

I don't have the patience or the steady hand to make these, but I would LOVE to receive them, lol.

Oh those are so beautiful. Never have seen anything like it. I would not have the patience to do that.

My favorite was butter cookies mom made when I was a kid with the cookie press. They were melt in your mouth from what I remember.

@SunValley Those cookies are amazing! I would wonder how fresh they would still be after they are completed considering how time consuming the artwork is...LOL

Years ago I used to give framed counted crosswork (one of them as a wedding gift with their names/wedding date), afghans and sweaters to family and friends.

The last afghan I made I kept...which covers the top of a queen size bed.

WOW! They are absolutely gorgeous. Each one is a work of art. I wonder where we can purchase these?

@lovesallanimals You can get more info by googling "Pastry chef and artist Judit Czinkné Poór is the Leonardo da Vinci of the cookie world."

Those cookies are so beautiful, they’d never be eaten. I’d preserve them to display.

I love the look of those cookies, I would use them for display and never eat them. My cousin and her friend used to make these beautiful cut out xmas cookies that were almost too pretty to eat, but that did not deter the kids.

@Susan Louise. I love the colors you used in your Afghan. Very Southwestern. You workmanship is exceptional too.

Those cookies are simply stunning.

Usually cookies that pretty taste like cardboard.

I'd be inclined to find a way to preserve them, and display them on a pretty plate as a piece of decor, for years to come.
