Unicorn in a Tub
Hand Sculpted with Play Dough CP Soap
I saw a picture on Twitter that inspired me. I was a cute Unicorn in a tube, cake topper. Here I go, trying to figure out, how to make Play Dough CP Soap do what fondant does.
This is the link to my inspiration
My first thought was how can I make it but make it a little different. I made a couple heads.
Then I decided to try a Claw Foot Tube. Once I got the tub made and tried to place the Unicorn head I discovered there was no way it was going to fit.
Okay, now plan B.
I ended up with a project called, Plumber in a Tub... :-P
I learned that I was not so cleaver. I decided that I would start with the water. That way I can test the water size up against the Unicorn head size. The size was better, although if I made it again I would make the head smaller. Some of the feedback I got back on the Plumber was to try and make the water with more interesting. The other challenge I was faced with was to make the wood to go around the water. How do I do the wood free hand. I was fairly happy with the with how the water and the wood came together.
I put the metal bands around the tub and added some flowers. Now it was time to figure out how to do the legs & hooves. I really wanted to do black hooves. I messed around for awhile until I felt I had achieved a facsimile of hooves. I put it all together :-)
