Browsing soap pics

I too noticed the black outline on the top/back of the bird but not the front/bottom. A pencil line probably wouldn't stick as well to the underside if the embed was already hard and dry, whereas a sprinkle on the top wouldn't have gravity working against it. A thin black pour seems more problematic to me but that does not mean its not possible.

I think you're probably right about adding the beak -- and I'd say the eye too. I wondered if they were added after the bars were cut (i.e., just superficial), but when you blow up the pics they don't really look like they were painted on there.

Well, they are just the cutest things and they'll have me pondering -- and aspiring -- for a good long while!

maybe black mica and oil painted on edge of bird and left to dry

Yep, we had that one, Peanut. And since members of the forum have our own photo gallery to use, I've steered away from posting the soaps of any of our members, not because they don't deserve to be looked at but because they can post to the photo gallery.

Some beautiful tops, and some very fine detail work.

That daisy soap is just about the most charming fricking thing I have ever seen, and I'm not much for 'cutesy' soaps. Absolutely adorable.

Do you mean the pale blue one with fine white stylised flowers and a tiny blue bow?

 

[newbie]

Love the background with the soaps. All very cool.

No, the white one with the lovely deep orange confetti top half....

Love this from rain walker soaps on Facebook.

 

[newbie]

Oh that's cool!

I adore her soaps. They might not be terribly practical, but WOW!

Okay, I give up. What is that soap "dough" she uses?

 

[snappyllama]

For reading her blog, it's a full water recipe that she keeps wrapped up so it stays pliable. Here's her blog post on it:

No.

Please make me unsee that. Unsee the possibilities; the embeds. No.
Hmmm....do you think you can make white dough...but color it later?

This brilliant and I'm so inspired by this!! Ty for sharing!

 

[newbie]

Need a shot in the arm!

How did they ever get those beautiful leaf patterns on top? They're gorgeous!

 

[newbie]

I wonder if she uses colored batter to draw the patterns on the bottom of the mold and then fills them with white. I love the shape of the soaps and the effect she gets with the leaves. They look almost like shadows- lightly colored shadows playing on the soap.
