[Art] Sabun Flower
It has been a long while I’ve posted any new work, or art regarding to any event. But this time around, back from China, I’m really to be invited by JustLife , commissioned by them to do this Soap Art. Well, what is the idea behind? To use organic materials for your daily use items. Of course this soap is made entirely from materials you find on the farm, organically. Coconut oils…etc etc. I tried to find the pictures where the initial cooking of the soap, but to no avail, probably will update this post again when I get a hold of the pictures. Till then, it’s the production process of the entire soap art. 
Hope you’ll enjoy it. You’ll probably able to see it life in Ikano Power Centre, at one of the JustLife’s shop which they’ll publicly displays all the other designer’s soap there.
The Beginning
Raw round soap cooked. Made from Green tea, spirulina and coconut oil. That is supposingly a mark from burning the soap with hot metal, it didn’t work like I intended it to be, so I resorted to just cutting/carving the shape.
It’s pretty soft at this point as well due to the initial process of making the soap that I didn’t do it very well.
Finalizing the shapes and trimming.
It took quite an amount of patience and concentration because you might end up cutting away half of the petal if you are not careful of what you are doing.
Petals up close.
And I was told that the remainings can be recycled again! By slow-cooking it again in a container/slow cooker. and I’ll be able to shape it once again. That’s awesome.
Box Art
And next should be the box art that will be put together with the display. Supposingly, I had a floral theme in mind that later it evolved into something…I’m not quite sure what it is.
Outlining and inking.
Detailing.
Ta-daa! It’s completed! Thanks again for reading and hope to see you in Ikano if you do drop by. It will be on display until Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Oh, sorry if I didn’t mention that you can view this piece in a larger size by clicking on the picture.
