By the way, just curious Bonnie, where did you buy your glycerin? I have only seen the small bottles @ Michael's. Not enough to use in your recipe. Did you purchase at a pharmacy, beauty supply, Wal Mart?????

I hit the wrong button before I was finished, so here are the rest of the pictures.

The gumpaste lace applique with the thickness of the cardboard showing can be used as is if desired.  Here the cardboard boarder has been cut away, leaving a nice thick piece of gumpaste applique.

 

 I think I got it a little too thick. lol  But at least now I have a way of getting the depth or thickness that I want. 
 
Three 6 1/2" sections fitted together.  It worked!  This would look nice on a cake.
 
I am getting the hang on how to work with these pieces finally.  I have a larger piece of actual lace to do it with, now that I have worked out a satisfactory way to do it, & enough nerve to try it.  I am really quite pleased with how this project turned out.

Happy New Year everyone!!

I have had time to play!  And now I am praying that we do not get hit with the predicted snowfall, and high tides, that I am hearing about on the tele.  So on to more mundane things...

I found a fairly decent piece of ribbon type applique, it has a nice depth &
design.  This piece is 6 1/2 inches long without stretching or distorting it
any, showing 3 complete & equal sections of the design. 

I wanted it thick, so I glued the applique to a piece of cardboard, with a lot
of easy release rubber cement, under the applique piece to hold it down & on
top to help stiffen & protect it.  Then I taped the cardboard to the bottom
of the container.   I coated the lace & the cardboard with a thick coat of
coconut oil to help it release better before pouring in the mold mix, and as you
can see, it worked well.  The lace is not damaged.  And if needed, it should
wash up nicely.  Black was the only color I could find.
