Let's just get right into it: I have done mp in the past and I started soapmaking with mp (I was 12, too young for cp) but I am wholly uncomfortable doing mp projects aside from simple embed projects. So this summer I am challenging myself to get out of my comfort zone and do a series of mp soaps. My idea is to take several photos from Instagram and try to recreate them in melt and pour...it's gonna be real interestin'! Hopefully I will get more experience with layers, temperature, etc.
My first soap from this series was inspired by Paloma Barbiezinha, who I absolutely love. I took a photo from her
Instagram. She's an amazing fashion blogger from Brazil and I love her vibe because it is very colorful and positive.
Here's my take:
I don't love how the colors turned out. There is not as much detail as I would like there to be. But, I have to remind myself, this is my first one.
This whole process actually took quite a bit of time. I poured the blue background in around a cardboard cutout to create empty space for the body, and then I poured in the brown skin and finally the pink hair and clothes as the last layer. There were lots of little mistakes and holes that I had to smooth over using my finger or the blunt end of a bamboo skewer.
Overall, I had a good time! I can't wait to improve on my mp skills from here.
