Such a Lonely One

That's the title of a song by a Canadian group call Prairie Oyster, and for some reason I really like that song even though it's kinda country-ish.

The title also works well for my poor Pterodactyl soap. In the 3 years I've been doing craft fairs, the T-Rex soaps sell like popsicles on a summer's day the brontosaurus soaps holds their own, but none of the pterodactyl soaps have sold. A friend suggested I put the pterodactyl in amber, which I thought was a great idea!


Making the pterodactyl was the easy part. Trying to find a mould big enough to hold him was like Goldilocks going to the Three Bears' extended family's house: I tried mould after mould, but they were all too small for this giant creature.

So my wonderful readers, do you have any suggestions for me short of trimming his wings or trying to find a bigger mould? I could try and find a bigger mould, but that doesn't result in an immediate resolution and I'm very ADD.

  1. I am going to give you my 8x8 silicon cake pan..that should be big enough to embed the pterarydactl. :)

    By the way, there is no such thing as a brontosaurus. It's probably an apatosaurus. ;)

    1. I have an 8X8 silicone pan, but I was hoping to have a mould that would fit the one dinosaur for now. Just to try it out rather than having to make an entire pan. It's not brownies after all. ;)

  3. I can't help you with moulds, but I'm curious to see where this baby will end up.
    Btw, brontosaurus does exist (as a term,of course :-) ) and I think it's the same thing as apatosaurus.

    1. Stay tuned Maja, the final result will be posted next. ;)

      Darn, I was hoping you'd say a brontosaurus exists for real, that'd be uber cool.

    2. Hihi, I'm not so sure you really would be still thinking the same if they did....

    3. LOL! That's for sure, maybe if it was behind some very thick plexiglass it'd be cool. :)
