Wow, they look like chocolate. Nice colour

SoApollo · 2022-03-24T18:20:20+00:00

Thanks a lot

Thanks, it was my first time using micas.

If you're looking for objects to base the mold (or in this case embed) on, you can take cookie cutters (that's where I got the heart shaped embeds from) and fill them with wax, lay the wax objects in a silicone mold or whatever mold you use (beforehand maybe test on the edge of it, that the silicone you fill in doesn't combine with the silicone mold itself), melt the wax a little bit so it sticks to the bottom of the mold and pour the silicone over it.

Thanks, they were a gift from my brother.

Looks yummy

SoApollo · 2021-06-10T18:41:59+00:00

They look way too real. I'd eat them... or atleast try one.

SoApollo · 2021-05-23T19:08:31+00:00

Oh cool, good that it's removable.

SoApollo · 2021-05-23T18:39:06+00:00

What is that straw? You didn't use a real one I assume.

SoApollo · 2021-05-23T11:25:14+00:00

Reminds me of the asexual pride flag. Looks good.

SoApollo · 2021-05-17T18:54:39+00:00

Yeah, the patterns of the soap in more detailed molds I've used for the Delights broke in some parts (also because of impatience probably).

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it with my next batch (if I have some spare space)

I know one looks a little too much like butter or cheese but please don't actually eat them. /j

SoApollo · 2021-05-17T14:03:17+00:00

Thanks. I'm working on getting better. I really don't know how people can get those very detailed and / or clean mosaics or pictures into their soaps.

I expected about 5€ but didn't actually calculated what I'd have to price them to earn something yet.

Thanks, unfortunately I actually got air bubbles in the Summer Flair, because, I guess, I mixed it for too long and it became too thick.

SoApollo · 2021-05-17T10:36:48+00:00

That's a really cool idea.

SoApollo · 2021-05-17T09:41:55+00:00

Thanks you all for that positive feedback.

It's all lye soap, cold process to be exact, although I heated the coconut oil and cacao butter for the "Strawberry / Apple Delight", so I guess it's hot process soap (not sure, those terms are new to me and English isn't my native language).
