Tried some different soap-adjacent things today.
Of course I had to have a go of
@ResolvableOwl's crazy boxes since I have many round flat soaps from the last challenge that are a pain to store! I'm happy to report that the technique worked nicely:

(Yes, there is actually a soap in there!)
And I'm halfway through trying
this concept for making silicone inlays for soap moulds. My individual moulds don't get much use since they're kind of boring, so sprucing them up with some plant-based designs.

I'm having a break for lunch now but if all goes as planned I may get to try out the silicone this evening. (Not 100% sure if it will, since that's not actually plaster of Paris but some wall filler that's been knocking around the shed for years, so it may be a bit old, or it may not like being diluted at 2:1 instead of 2.5:1.
Our vibrating table is broken and we haven't got around to making a new one, so I improvised! (Also an excuse to test the video upload feature
) You'll probably want to mute sound before playing it though...
