kestagano04 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Basically layered, but you don't wait for the first layer to completely skin over?? It looks like he poured a little early, and used dye that bleeds? I'm somewhat new to melt and pour (I've made more basic soap) and I just think it's beautiful and would like to try something like that. His Etsy store is amazing... very pretty soaps...dennisanderson's shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddin1970 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I would also love to learn how to do that! they are so pretty and I bet would sell great! I asked if anyone knew what type of mold to use on these also.. but didnt get a reply yet. If you find out please share.. I will do the same for you!

Soapymomma Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 HI,What is the web address where the soaps are located? I'd love to look a other soaps similar to those. I think I can make those, but I'd want to try it before posting to everyone - just in case. Those look like poppy seeds on top. Very cool soaps. I would imagine they are made in a rectangular loaf mold.Soapymomma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeAnna_EC Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 looks like a log mold was used and a wavy cutterhe probably poured clear (colored green) first, then poured the white over it, before a firm skin formed, couldve poured right after the clear without skin, topped or incorporated poppy seeds maybeive poured clear and then white over it and it sorta makes what looks like clouds in the clear, you could probably take a knife or stick and do a little swirling in the bottom to get a better effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisa2003 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I was curious as to how he does the dots on this soap also. Wow, he is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapymomma Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Those dots are probably long soap rods that go through the entire mold. Then he pours around them. I think. lolSoapymomma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestagano04 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 It looks like those are from a mold for individual bars, they have the rounded corners and are perfectly shaped. I'm thinking that he pours the first layer, sticks 3 short rods (cut to be the same depth of the mold) in place, allows it to cool, then adds the second layer, after that cools, adds the third?

Candybee Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 There are crayon molds you can use for the soap dots.That first soap is really nice. I believe the white was poured first, which also contained the seeds that dropped to the bottom of the mold. The a drop or two of dye was added to the remaining melted soap and 'swirled' slightly before adding it to the top. Very nice effect.The sad thing about adding colored dyes to M&P is that after a while they bleed into the rest of the soap eventually.

puddin1970 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I got some of those bottles too - cant remember which site - but they did sell great for me. Plus I think they were cheap. He does nice soap work! I would like to try a few of them. Can you use a silicone pan - kinda like a brownie pan for a mold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
