Last weeks soaps

[Dorymae]

So the first picture some will recognized is my attempt to copy Aunt Clara's gray dapple soap. The second I made for a mason. The third and fourth were not meant to be bar soap. It is whipped soap I was pipping when I was called away and didn't want it to harden and go to waste so I molded it quickly and through a hanger through it. (yes it floats! lol) Finally the last two are types of confetti soap because my scrap pile is getting way to high!

Very nice! Love the mason one!

Oh gosh I love them all! I cant decide if the dapple or the clever brick one is my favie.

Really love the mason soap, it came out perfect. I'm amazed that you could swirl a whipped soap. Really nice.

They all turned out wonderful!

 

[soapswirl]

Wow the brickwork one is impressive, very clever ideas!

 

[Saponista]

I love the brick one, looks so realistic!

 

[Dorymae]

Thank you for the feedback. The brick was fun to make. I was a little worried about using so much imbed and so little "new" soap, but it adhered really well and now is solid as, well, a brick.

Dorymae, how did you do the brick wall soap? That looks so cool.

 

[snappyllama]

Those are lovely. I especially love the brick one. It's really unusual!

Dorymae, how did you do the brick wall soap? That looks so cool.

First I made a loaf of the red soap and in another loaf I poured a slab for the top about 1/4 inch thick. When the soap was hard I cut it up into long strips about 3/4 inch by 3/8 inch by the length of the mold. I cut 12 strips and then trimmed them to the right dimensions, then cut two of the strips in half.

Then I laid out the first layer of bricks and mixed up the soap for the mortar. Poured in between the bricks and then laid the next level. Continued to the top, poured more "mortar" and then laid the slap on top.

Once the soap hardened I unmolded and cut then cleaned up the edges of the mortar soap that over poured the edges.

It did take a bit of time, but I am really happy with the result.

Great work, Dorymae! Love the little block walls, they're amazing!
