Dead Dough sculptures are a beautiful and exciting way to use simple ingredients for bread dough and change them into anything you want to. The process begins by selecting a design, case in point I selected the symbol of my old high school marching band(Left), including a close-up detail of the medal(Right). From here you begin making the pieces and adding details to the individual pieces. Sometimes you may have to change minor details, like the blue ribbon in my idea had to be changed to green, because there isn't anything that occurs naturally blue in nature.
After your individual pieces are complete they need to be "glued" together using simple syrup and then baked slightly, just until they get A LITTLE color. Once they are baked, they get arranged on your previously made plaque and hot glued into place. Finally, once the pieces are arranged to your liking and glued down, the entire sculpture gets shellacked for the purposes of preserving the piece and for adding an extra bit of presentation.
