Soap Art

Hello,
Has anyone framed their soap? I was shaving my pumpkin soap and I had thin slices of the face left over, it looks cool and I'd like to frame them. Any suggestions?! Thanks!

I was so thinking about this with my Sunrise soaps for the challenge a couple months' ago when I saw this:
Tree Marie Soapworks
and there was another Youtube I saw with the 4 pane window frame in the soap and a cat sitting in the window, but I can't find it. I was pretty impressed!
Good luck! Share picture!
ETA: found this too: I Dream In Soap

You would have to have it tightly pressed and sealed in glass.

Ahhh.... I so did not read that correctly! Sorry!

@glendam created a soap that has been framed. See this video:
and this thread: Lowest superfat?

Thank you @earlene for referencing it.
@Tragically Hip the above soap was frame in something similar to a shadow box. The soap is not touching the glass. Since you are interested in framing a shaved piece, I would guess it is much thinner and a regular frame might do. However, I would suggest to find a way to avoid the soap touching the glass as I think it would smear it. Whichever attempt you try, do keep us updated to see how they work.
