Well this looks a bit weird hey?
Someone (probably me) was up way too late one night since she had overslept for 4 days… and found some new soap techniques
This pebbly kind of design was an exercise in patience. (Because we all know how super patient I am)
Looks like some creepy alien is going to hatch out of those eggs
I did another one tonight and timed it… Took me 50 minutes to fill the loaf mould!
You have to make the mixture pretty thin. I separated into 3 squeeze bottles and you dab the base colour in spots over the bottom of the mould. Then squeeze the second colour on top of the first dot and then squeeze your third colour on top of that.
THEN you repeat. Many times!!
As you can see, if I cut the usual vertical way I’d get an interesting pattern (as seen on the side) but miss the pebbly design that runs horizontally.
Mind you, I only cut one lot as it really hadn’t set enough to handle easily – but I was too excited to wait longer
Above are thin slices from the very end and bottom – not very aesthetic and since the process takes forever, I want the best look out of the soap I can get even if I am taking some of the soap away.
As you can see below – quite the difference!
Anyway, I am pretty happy about how the design worked out and will cut the rest and tidy them up once its hardened up a bit more!
In the background I am working on some of the latest photos but not quite ready – so those stories will have to wait.
We’ve been out in the yard a bit and today FINALLY did a very very overdue tip run. Yay!
Hope your week is going along well!
Cheers!
