re: LV Handbag

Hi Miss Piggy :) I have had the same issue, I’ve only done two LV bags and the first one I painstakingly cut out and made each symbol into a stamp (cardboard and polystyrene), then stamped each one onto the bag then painted over each impression with gold. It took hours and was ok, but could have been much better! The second time I used a stencil (bought from Jo @ Ciccio Cakes) and I used painters tape to hold the stencil in place and did it in small sections, then royal iced the pattern on which I then painted gold once it dried – also took a bit of time but not as long as the first one! There were a couple of blury ones but I used a toothpick to remove the excess royal icing before it dried, still a couple came out a bit blury. But the overall effect was good and the customer loved it (which is the main thing)! Your bag looks amazing, your details are fantastic and when you look at it as a whole you don’t notice any imperfections (well I don’t anyway!:). Hope my experience helps you a bit :)
