Wow...that is really nice. Cool looking mold too

 

[AmyW]

That look awesome! All the details you put into it make it very pretty

 

[TaoJonz]

thanks guys...first time with that mold...I've never seen another just like it

I love it! How did you get the leaf in the middle?

 

[TaoJonz]

I pre-made about a dozen of the leaf soaps, set them aside, then poured the top part, let it set up slightly, then carefully stacked the leafs side by side the entire length. Every piece has the bold green soap in the middle.

Also with the attached leafs, they take being warm, spritzed really well with alcohol, and a dip in clear soap to glue them in place. If you do it right, and then let it set up for 24/48... they do well. But I failed a lot before I figured it out...

Thank you!

[danny p]

That's really creative. Great job.

 

[danny p]

R u kidding your plenty talented. Give it a wirl. Worst thatll happen is you'll have to try again.

 

[TaoJonz]

aw thanks Danny.....I may someday, but for now...I'm deeply exploring the bounds of radical change in the M&P world...I get bored easily..so I really do completely change design elements to keep interest.

And then I don't want to handle lye...that's the other part.

One day I'll have to try creatively selling it

 

[newbie]

Oh yes, and I remember your other lovely leaf soap that was very sculptured! You make beautiful soaps!

 

[Bubbles Galore]

Lots of work in that. Great job. :wink:

 

[calico21]

AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHY! And very beautiful soap too! You have such a great eye I think you would do well with CP too, but keep up the amazing work and enjoy what you obviously love.

 

[ewenique]
