It was 1982, in a basement workshop, that Lucy Natkiel created the very first cookie mold inspired by the wonderful shaped almond cookies made for the Chinese new year. It was called "The Good Luck Fish". Twenty-three years and over 250 cookie molds later, we'd say that that fish brought more than good luck. Lucy's designs not only revolutionized cookie baking, they opened a whole new avenue of expression for thousands of crafters. 

We are deeply saddened to announce that Lucy Natkiel, owner and creator of Brown Bag Cookie Art, has decided to retire from the Cookie Mold business. Her talents will be greatly missed

She created one final mold - her Swan Song, (pictured here) which quickly sold out. Only 1,000 of these molds were produced. Each mold was signed (one of only a minor few), and each booklet was hand signed, numbered and embossed.
