Art Showcase - Milano Cookies Sculpture - as part of the expert series by GeoBeats. This is my Milano cookies, carved out of a solid block of marble, using the real bag as a reference. Bag was carved, chiseled, cut, ground and polished up to a 1200 grit, and then it was painted with oils and acrylics to get the real deal of the logo. The inside of the bag has silver leaf. The cookies are cast and then painted to look like the real deal. And yes, people have broken their tooth on it. This usually has a lucite cover case on this sculpture but the case is being repaired so it is opened, but I had people pick up a cookie and break a tooth. This piece won the gold metal award in 2004 from the Allied Artists of America.
