Very cool.
I've always believed soap is to be used, no matter how pretty it is. But those peaches, I just don't think I could.

I have this soap! Or at least one extremely similar to it. Same colors, same imbed (is that what that is?) and same bottom (coffee grounds in mine).
Those birds!! I want those birds!! Quite possibly the coolest soaps I've ever seen in my life! The colors and pattern make them so realistic. (Yes I love birds)
Her site shows mostly MP but those look all cp to me. Are they imbeds from a mold? The beaks are so delicate!

They look like CP to me too. I have no idea how she did it. I thought she may have seen the right pattern and set up in a soap she made so she cut them in the shape of the bird, added the beaks and poured a light coat of black over the tops and once they were set, embedded them. I really don't know otherwise. They are fantastic.

I think she used a cookie cutter for the birds them embedded them in a log mold so they are visible when the soap is sliced.

I think we're saying the same thing, Obsidian. I do think she added the black outline though and the beaks. The outline might be a pencil line or it could be a thin layer of black. I see the small black line in the one soap but nothing in front of the bird. Maybe she did a pencil line but put something down to block it from getting it anywhere in front of the bird?
Love this color combo.

All nice bars

I too noticed the black outline on the top/back of the bird but not the front/bottom. A pencil line probably wouldn't stick as well to the underside if the embed was already hard and dry, whereas a sprinkle on the top wouldn't have gravity working against it. A thin black pour seems more problematic to me but that does not mean its not possible.
I think you're probably right about adding the beak -- and I'd say the eye too. I wondered if they were added after the bars were cut (i.e., just superficial), but when you blow up the pics they don't really look like they were painted on there.
Well, they are just the cutest things and they'll have me pondering -- and aspiring -- for a good long while!

I quite like these:
And this one:
But this is even nicer:
I love the colour and swirl in this one but think the top decoration is a bit over the top for me. I'd hate to clean up all the bits!

Love the snowflakes, wonder how they sliced them so thin.
Maybe a mold and then planed? Or maybe sliced with a slicer?

I was thinking m&p for the snowflakes using a cookie cutter. The fig doesn't look like soap.

I have a mandoline that slices paper thin. Is that how you spell it?

Oops, sorry about that. It was on the same page as a bunch of soap and it was someone's soap pinterest.
