Oscar Preps: The Birth of our Soap Display

Betty Miller — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:44:45 +0000

Hello, everyone! Since our announcement regarding our participation to the GBK Academy Awards (Oscars) Gift Lounge via the Artisan Group, we have been working on building a table display for our designer glycerin soaps.

We brainstormed different concepts on how to make the soap stand out; amongst these ideas, we thought of:

beautiful soap glass dishes from our friend Beth at BPR Designs
baskets in the form of a bath tub
bamboo soap dishes
seashell soap dishes
tree trunk soap dishes
rock soap dishes
soap dishes made from bonsai containers with river stones

Then, we realized that, in order to show the beauty of each individual bar, they had to be inclined at 45° (not laying flat) so any kind of soap dish was out of the question because the soap would slide. As far as the basket goes, the bars would overlap and hide each other. Not a good idea. Another thing we had to consider was the color of the display… it had to be dark and blend with the background, so the focus would be on the colorful soap.

Anyway, after a lot of research and some drawing, we decided to go with a black velvet jewelry display adjusted to our needs.

Here are a few “behind-the-scenes” pictures from our process:

Step 1: Deciding on the configuration.

Step 2: Building and testing our prototype.

Step 3: Working on the actual display. We glued the custom made acrylic pieces that support the soap bars.

Step 4: Allowing to dry overnight. Le Petit Larousse comes to the rescue once again! I suppose having a minor in French and dozens of dictionaries helps once in a while.

Step 5: Taking pictures of the final display. Ta-da!! The picture is not as sharp as I want it to be; it was overcast here in Stockton, California.

As you can see, the soap bars to be displayed are: Cherry Vanilla, Lemon Lavender, Two to Tango, Seaside (coming soon online), Watermelon and the Believe in You Butterfly. You can find them on our website at www.MagicSenses.com.
