Brush Embroidery hints and tips

• Brushing with egg white will give a glossy finish using water will give a matt finish.
• Always blot your brush of excess liquid so it doesn't disolve your coating.
• Royal icing made from powdered egg white (eg wilton meringue powder) will be easier to work with than using fresh egg white.
• Adding a drop of glycerine to the royal icing, will slow the drying time.

June Meeting Brush embroidery

Well here it is our very own blog  - about time I hear you say.

We will be able to post pictures, meeting notes, tips and ideas.

To kick it off I would like to thank the ladies of Upper Hutt Cake Decorators Guild for the inspiration and content this blog will hold.

Last week we had our monthly meeting where Brush Embroidery was demonstrated, some members brought along some piping tubes, brushes, something to work on and lots of enthusiasm.
