Woman's Day Dough CraftsLorraine uses five substantially different kinds of dough to work her 60 various designs. The familiar flour/salt dough is coaxed into a wide array of decorative pieces: bowls and baskets, candleholders, centerpieces and wall plaques - including a Pennsylvania Dutch-style plaque with tulips and hearts in bright primary colors. A bread/glue dough, which requires no baking and dries to a fine finish, is fashioned into a series of wonderful miniatures like the doll-sized vegetables adorning a kitchen memo board. Lorraine uses a sugar paste concoction in ways no one has dreamed of before. Her set of fragile, lacy ornaments is exactly suited to the delicate sugar paste dough, as is a lovely vase in frosty tints of pink, blue, lavendar and green. A standard cookie-dough recipe and cookie-cutter shapes lend themselves to some fabulous decorated holiday cookies, while a spicy gingerbread dough becomes a dream of a gingerbread house, its roof studded with hearts and windows outlined with candy canes. |
