Ohhhhhhh...

The lacy top technique.

That's a knock out of a soap rock.

 

[jules92207]

Oh my gosh. I am in love.

My newest "why didn't I think of that" inspiration - tilted ombre. (From Kudesnitsa blog).

Newbie, is that lacy top one CP? Somehow it has an MPish look to it.

 

[newbie]

I think it's CP. I found it on pinterest but I've seen that soap maker's name before on things that look CP. It's brushed with mica, so maybe that is making it look different.

The raspberries look like jaunty little hats to me.

That's a knock out of a soap rock.

I believe this soap is hand painted on the surface. I saw a very similar looking soap at this store:

Here is one of the reviews from a customer:
"The lines that make these look like rocks are only surface deep so within a short time you're left with a round solid-colored soap which is not particularly interesting or attractive = ("

Seems like more effort to paint them on than to make a striped soap that gets carved. Well, that's too bad.

Black and white today

 

[jules92207]

Agree, it's kinda silly. I would think it's way easier to make a striped soap.

Love the black and white.

Soap for today

 

[newbie]

Double whammy.

 

[not_ally]

Love the colors on that last one, the fragrance combo suits them perfectly (or vice versa).

Double whammy.

Anyone else see a Andy Worhol type rendition of Marilyn Monroe in the red and black soap??

 

[newbie]

Bliss

That is soap? Surreal. I looked for her website, did not find that one on it, but this was on her pinterest.

That last blue with yellow/browns is very interesting. The perfect separation of the top patterned layer and the lower marbled blue layer just kills me...how'd they do dat!?!

SW, I am challenged enough by regular swirls - as you know from my travails on the challenge thread - I would love to know, but probably not attempt it! Hey, you're getting there w/the posts, just a few more!

 

[dibbles]

I just want to say I really enjoy this thread. Looking at the new pictures is usually the last thing I do at night - kind of like a bedtime story. So thank you, Newbie, for starting this and adding to it so regularly, and to everyone else that finds incredible, beautiful pieces of art to add as well.

I think they poured the slab in the blues and let it set, then poured the other colors and rana comb through them. From the sides, it looks like they then poured the blue into the pulled design, which pushed it around a little. The top looks like some of the ebrus that has patterns with pools of other colors in there. It's well done!

I'm glad you are enjoying the thread. I love what other people find as well, but it's part of my weekly challenge, searching out pics of soaps that are new to me.

This is one might be consider clown puke by some because it's so colorful and busy, but there's something for everyone in the soap world!
