A farmer in Thailand carved an exquisite orchid out of soap. The soap can instantly turn into a work of art in their hands.
First, before carving, make soap first. First, mix vegetable oil and water together and slowly heat it. Then add the lump of glycerin to another bucket of hot water and stir thoroughly. Then dissolve it. Then pour the glycerin mixture into the oil-water mixture next to it and mix them together with an electric mixer. In order to achieve the desired consistency, appropriate water must be added continuously. Then pour in the mango powder and stir, add a little yellow pigment, which will make the soap look more like mango, and add a small amount of mango essence to increase the mango aroma. After stirring thoroughly, a pot of fragrant soap liquid is ready.
Second, the worker pours the liquid soap into a square plate and leaves it for a few hours. The liquid soap will solidify into a large yellow solid. Then the solidified soap is separated from the plate, and then Turn the plate over and a large piece of soap is ready. After workers tear off the plastic paper on top, they also need to use a tool similar to a paper cutter to cut the soap into long uniform strips. Every three strips are in a group, stack them and cut them horizontally, and cut the soap bars into shapes like Shaqi. These small square pieces of soap can now be carved into beautiful orchids.
Thirdly, soap carving requires strong artistic creativity and manual skills, and the master carver in front of you has already developed a magical hand. When he digs out the excess pieces of soap, When it is partially opened, the distinctive orchid petals take shape. Just these simple steps would take an average person at least two years to learn. After removing the excess soap at the bottom, a simple soap becomes a beautiful orchid. Next, put the orchid into the water, which makes the water-based paint stick better, and then partially penetrate it into the paint, so that you have a two-color effect.
Fourth, in order to highlight the beautiful visual effect, the old master applied lavender paint to the middle part of the orchid, and then began to paint the petals. After the master's colorful artistic creation, this soap sculpture instantly became lifelike. Then he dipped a toothbrush in paint and gently moved the bristles, causing the paint to splash onto the petals, forming small spots. Just like that, the carving work is completed. Finally, squeeze glue on the bottom of the decorative jar to fix the soap flowers inside. The jar can not only protect the soap flowers, but also add ornamental value. An ordinary piece of soap turns into a stunning flower art in the hands of a Thai farmer master.
