Four Seasons soap moulds review and test



To cut a long story short, last August I've participated to a design competition for soap moulds organized by the fantastic The Soap Kitchen on-line store and I won (see Facebook and Twitter)!

My designs have been transformed into real moulds after a process including 3D printing of the models, silicon mould creation, resin forma production and final creation of the plastic moulds (production and manufacturing have been done at The Soap Kitchen, THANK YOU Colin and the whole team).

Moulds are made from food grade PETG and each cavity of the set measures approximately 75 mm x 50 mm x 25 mm.

If you need more details on the moulds, including how to use them, you can find them HERE

When I was preparing the sketches for the competition I gave each single mould a name (see picture ⇩), but they are sold as a set under the name of Four Seasons 



I have been looking forward to testing this set and here you have some results and comments:

- pretty sturdy plastic (easy to handle)
- perfect cavity size for a hand soap
- detailed designs (they look real on the soap!)
- easy soap release (probably also soap recipe can make the difference in this process)

 In other words: I love them!
My fault for the stars on the left: I have been so eager to keep the soap in my hands, that I pulled abruptly and broke them...


It's amazing to have your soap personalized with your own designs 😊😊😊

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects   and soy wax   has an incredible  scent   throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented.   G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks (left) or star
