Browsing soap pics

I need raindrops.

Here is the video link for using the mini-drop swirl technique to make raindrops:

Is there a different thread for non soap pics that inspire me to make soap? I’d love to try this, without the boat.

Well, there is a non-soap photos thread. It's called Random Picture Thread (non-soap). But as far as I am aware, there isn't one with a title such as 'Soap Inspiration Pictures Thread' or the like. I had a similar idea, but mine isn't a thread it's an album in my media section and I also have a folder on my computer dedicated to soap inspiration photos. I labeled it 'Inspiration'. But thread might actually lead to some discussion, whereas a folder or media album doesn't lend itself to discussion. So I agree with amd that you should start a thread.

Saw this one last night and had to look up the video. To Comb Over, Or Not To Comb Over.
(that name is hilarious!)

Looking for more uses for soap dough. Found this polymer clay technique that a lady uses to make what she calls “mirror soap”. Very cool!

These absolutely fascinate me! I think the maker said she has 13 soaps in this series.

Am new here and I have learnt so much today from this thread. Thank you newbie

Ok, so this very talented person 3D printed their own scrapers. Anyone care to try to guess and deconstruct this? Did they work upside down or top bottom up? How the heck did they get those shadows on the mountains?!

Nooooo - those are too cute!! Thanks for sharing!

I am very envious over these soaps! I fear they would not get used, because they are so pretty.

I think it looks somewhat doable starting with the sky on the bottom and moving up.

I found this post by Claudia Carpenter useful for understanding how to use shapers.

I would love to make swirls like these, but haven’t a clue how to get them to align on a horizontal plane.

I got a response from the soaker who made it. She printed her own scrapers, and it took 14 of them!! wow!

That is a beautiful swirl! Do you have any idea how they do the gold stamp like that? I’ve got a stamp I’d like to do that with.

@Mobjack Bay the swirl looks like a drop swirl with a hanger pulled horizontally through it. I'm not always too good at figuring these things out, though, so I could be way wrong. @TashaBird Again, I could be wrong but I think the stamp was probably dipped in gold mica. It just takes a very thin coating, and may have been applied to the stamp with a brush.

Just my guesses though.

 

[Mobjack Bay]

Thanks @dibbles I will give it a try!

@TashaBird It’s easy to do. For the soaps below, I sprayed a resin stamp with alcohol (not sure if it was 91 or 70%), sprinkled on the mica and then stamped the soap. I recently bought glitter spray pumps from Nurture which I think will make it even easier.
