My custom made soap dishes

[Brian Suds]

I shatter beer or wine bottles and make these custom home-made soap dishes.

Better yet, ill show you:

Keep in mind I melted and slump them in a kiln at 1300 degrees. No adhesives!

 

[Pamela]

Those are so cool Are they curved? If so what did you fire them on to get that shape?

 

[Hazel]

I agree - very cool! Thanks for sharing this with us.

 

[Dorado]

brilliant idea, thanks for sharing
looks quick and easy, but I know it is not

 

[Loolee]

that is very cool! Do the edges lose their sharpness?

 

[Genny]

Very pretty.
My brother is a glass blower, so I have much love for glass artistry.

I love anything glass. I tried slumping for awhile but never got good at it so I gave it up. Still have a nice kiln tho They are really beautiful, you did a great job.

 

[crafter]

Good job.

I've never seen anything like that. Looks great.

I guess you end up with no sharp edges.

Well, in the pictures the edges look rounded. My assumption would be that the edges become dull in the melting process or afterwords he rounds them so that they don't cut anyone.

(I haven't figured out how to make a separate window for quotes yet :smile

First, he tack fuses the pieces - which means firing them up to about 1325. The edges at this point are quite squishy and lose their sharp edges.

What a clever way to "fuse" your two habits, glass craft and soap making! Any other brilliant ideas? I was thinking of including little bowls or ornaments with my soap gifts.
