Iris складной из мастики -Sugarcraft 'iris folding' heart tutorial
Огромная благодарность Автору cakestosavour за Мастер-класс
An iris folded design starts with a template, there are many published on the web but it is not as difficult as you may imagine to draw your own. There are great instructions on how to do this at http://www.circleofcrafters.com/iris...npatterns.html.
There are also basic templates available which you can easily adapt to your chosen design http://www.circleofcrafters.com/iris...epatterns.html.
To make the heart and egg above I drew my own patterns from scratch so that they would be a good size for my cutters.
Here is a step-by-step guide showing how I made the heart. For a first go it might be worth trying with paper strips first!
Step 1.
Colour your sugar florist paste (SFP) using food paste colouring (e.g. Sugarflair) in three colours or three shades of the same colour. I use SFP as it can be rolled very thinly, however you may be able to use modelling paste to similar effect. Keep wrapped in clingfilm until use.
Step 2.
Draw or print out an iris heart template (mine was drawn starting from an equilateral triangle).
Step 3.
Cut a piece of non-stick baking paper and secure over the template so that you can still see the template through it.
Step 4.
Roll out your SFP on a non-stick mat thinly and evenly.
Step 5.
Use a sharp knife to cut strips of about 8mm width (the width will depend on your template, each strip needs to be slightly wider than the strips on your template). Repeat with all colours.
Step 6.
Cover strips with clingfilm or a stay-fresh mat while you are working.
Step 7.
Lay your first strip (e.g. the darkest shade) over the template so that the right-hand edge of the strip is placed along the first line in from the edge. You may need to secure the strip with a little edible glue to the paper.
Step 8.
Take the second strip (e.g. medium shade) and third strip (e.g. lightest shade) and lay in the positions shown, using edible glue to stick at the ends.
Step 9.
Add the next layer of strips starting with the darkest shade first. Use a little edible glue along the length of the strip to secure and trim any excess paste with a small knife.
Step 10.
Continue until the template is complete.
Step 11.
Press a heart shaped cutter through the layers of paste.
Step 12.
Turn over, remove the baking paper and then gently remove excess paste from around the cutter.
Step 13.
Gently push the paste out of the cutter and onto some baking paper and leave to dry completely overnight (to stay flat keep it face down during drying).
Step 14.
Ready to use! Although these decorations are edible I would recommend removing them prior to serving. As with sugar flowers made of SFP they dry to a hard finish. It may be possible to make similar with modelling paste if a softer finish is required.
