I’ll be giving two demos at the Alabama Soap Meeting June 8 & 9!
My Demo descriptions:
Peacock Swirl – The peacock swirl is an old paper marbling technique that was brought about near the end of the 18th century. This technique is easily adaptable when working with cold process soap. During this demo you’ll learn how to create a slow tracing recipe that will give you plenty of time to create this stunning swirled soap. We’ll also go over coloring, molds and how to make your own soap raking tools to easily execute the design. Then you’ll see exactly how to do the peacock swirl. Although the swirl looks complicated and very technical…you’ll be amazed at how simple it is to do with the right tools.
Silicone Mold Making – Making silicone soap molds is almost as addictive as making soap itself! During this demo you’ll learn how work with both mold putty and pourable silicone. I’ll show you how to choose mold negatives, prepare your negatives and setup the mold retaining walls. We’ll go over silicone suppliers, pricing per ounce and per mold and how to work with both types of silicone. I’ll have plenty of examples on hand to take a look at.
There is an amazing line-up of speakers and vendors! To sign up visit www.alabamasoapmeeting.com!
Hi all, here every person is sharing such experience,
so it’s nice to read this web site, and I used to go to see this weblog daily.
Enjoyed both your demos at the ASCA Annual Meeting. Lots Learned & Lots To Try! Definitely will be doing the Silicone Molds.
Are you going to do a CD on this or do a video on your page. Love it very beautiful. I would also like to learn about the tools as well. Thnks, Daphne
I just love this peacock soap swirl!! I love the colors and design. I am dying to try to create some soap with this technique.
Can’t wait to see you at the conference! I’m counting down the days now. Be prepared to have lots of fun and to eat well! LOL
You are the peacock swirl QUEEN! I’ll have to get you up here to do a REAL SoapQueen Peacock Swirl episode to show people how it’s really done! =) I SO love the Alabama conference. Those gals are the sweetest, warmest, most friendly people in the world (except for Texans, of course) =)
Thanks, AM! I’ve got some tricks that make it super easy! I’m working on a pdf for the conferences and I’ll share it with you when I’m done. 🙂
Have fun Amanda! Will you be in Portland this year? xx Pam
Hi Pam! I won’t be in Portland this year. The HSMG one is just so expensive. 🙁 But hopefully I’ll be able to make the 2013 or 2014 conference. I went last year and it was a blast. So we’ll see!
peacock soap swirl looks so pretty, reminds me of vintage drawer linner pappers.
Thanks, Hayley!
