Thanks Linda & Dina

For someone who hasn't even attempted this in about 20 odd years, I guess it isn't bad for a 1st attempt. Funny tho, I was nervous, like I was making it for a show or something....ha! ha!  Like you said Linda,it is like riding a bicycle. When I first learned we used buttercream for EVERYTHING, but you get rusty.

June, you did do a darn good job! The key is to practice, practice, practice. Your ruffle looks good here. It's all about pressure too, knowing when to add pressure and when to release up on pressure. You don't give yourself enough credit. It's evident that you have the skills...you just haven't used them in awhile, and I know how it feels too to have that arthritis cramp up your hands. It can be so darn debilitating! Don't give up, because you really did do a good job.

Ya, I guess. Want to see if I can get my string work even. I can do it, but the trick is to "place it" correctly!! My hand was sore, after piping, had to rest cause of my arthritis. But some decorators, like you & Rima, just have a that special "gift". You just know how to pipe "creatively.

Hey! Not too bad! Kind of like riding a bicycle, right?
