Soap Molding Challenge: Cut the Mold and Double the Surface We challenge the artisan to test their skills with a straightforward task - dividing a basic soap mold in half using a wire cutter. What lies ahead? An adventure of discovering new dimensions of mold design by exploiting its split. As one learns how to manipulate molds in such an unexpected manner, opportunities arise for creative possibilities that have been hiding right beneath our noses. Now the mold has opened up for innovative shapes, each with an individual's personality stamped onto them like a work of art. Each newly-molded lozenge offers its own unique texture, awaiting a perfect pair to fit snugly alongside it - creating what amounts to an original soap composition crafted solely from halves rather than complete whole shapes. To get you thinking in a more open-ended manner regarding surface designs on soap and its accompanying molds - take into consideration: the molding can either produce a perfectly smooth rounded surface when combined or add depth by way of intricate lines formed during division, presenting your chance at making some very beautiful & contrasting design pieces. Dividing a single piece of plastic could turn up anything; this one however ended being extremely appealing to both its shape as well as functionality since it provides room for endless experimentations through changing patterns over various colors which aren't always simple in combining - thus the result, more likely than not going against expectations would end looking better with time
