My Frankensoap creation

[Lila]

Well this is my 3rd (but so far ~ clearest, best!) Frankensoap creation. As you can see, it has alll kinds of problems (not to mention that it smells just yukky, being from so many rehashed soap scraps!). The point was just to see how to embed designs in soap, so I drew up a funny little picture that had some detail in it so see how much detail could be embedded. I don't know if it's even possible to get just one mold made that looks like the eye (and at an affordable 30-40 dollar cost)? Anyone have any leads? If not I may need to explore silicone casting, too.

No ideas for you, but I love the soap!

Maybe you would be better getting a stamp made?

Great soap BTW!

And then what do you do? Fill the impressed areas with color?

I think you're very clever to do that but the soap is scaring me. :wink:

lol It's ALIVE! ALIVE, I SAY! That's exactly why it's called "Frankensoap" - It's just plain scary! But as I said, it was just to learn to embed. I'm hoping I might be able to use a stamp to get alot of embedded detail (I don't know stamps yet ~ I've been learning about making soap for about 2 weeks.).

Cheers

Only two weeks? :shock: Wow, you're good kiddo. Imagine what you'll be like in two years? :wink:

Well, wish me luck. And thanks!

I made these eyeball soaps using a Japanese Ice Ball mold I got off ebay- you could try to embed one?

Oh my God. Those are too cool to mention! lol A riot!

BTW, I've resigned my pursuits to learning the right formula for making sellable ("safe" soap). Maybe I just haven't done the right kind of digging but from what I can tell, it's a challenge to be ready to sell to the public. Things need to be listed, FDA concerns, yada yada....

I now have years to devote to knowing what it is I'd have to do to be able to sell and avoid beig sued of fined. Cheers. lol

Kudo's to you for recognising within yourself that you need more time to work on your formula's.
I really respect any new soaper that is humble enough to admit that, cos there are so many that want to sell after making two batches of soap.

THose eyeballs are really good. :wink:

 

[whisks]

those eyeballs are so well made, they're gross....and i hope you know i mean that in the nicest possible way.

 

[Deda]

Hideous! Love 'em!

 

[pinkduchon]

Those are soooooo cool!

 

[redfishingirl]

They are even good and slimy when you wash with them!

how gross is that??? you'd make a killing selling those to naughty little boys....and other demented folk!!!!

 

[IanT]

sorry for the lower case but i lost the use of my left hand for the next year or so. redfishingirl i think those would look great embedded. i was also admiring the shine...is it created or real?

thanks chrissyb. i have a background in consumables, so it just made sense.

 

[ilovedoxies]
