UNITED STATES EILEEN P. BLOCK, OF IELYMOUTH, MICHIGAN.
ART PRODUCT AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME.
Application filed April 16, 1923. Serial No. 632,381.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EILEEN P. BLOCK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Plymouth, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Art Products and Methods of Forming the Same, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to an art product and method of forming the same, and has for its object the obtaining of novel artistic effects by a combination of carving and pig ments. It is a further object to produce these effects in material which is easily carved and which is durable when made.
One of the features of my invention is the specific material selected for the manufacture of the product. Heretofore various materials of a plastic nature have been used, such for instance as wax, which can be molded or carved and colored in various ways. The great objection to this material is that it is so easily destroyed by but a slight elevation in temperature. Also, it is very fragile and usually is enclosed in a glass case for protection. I have discovered that a material much better adapted for the purpose is soap and preferably a white soap. Such material has the advantage that while it is easily carved, it will stand a temperature considerably higher than any wax without destructive effect. It is also of a translucent character, which contributes to the production of novel transparency ef fects.
lVhile it is obvious that my improved process may be employed for the production of a wide variety of art products, I will specifically describe its application to one article.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of the bar or cake of soap from which the article is formed Figure 2 is a perspective View of the completed article; and
Figure 3 is a horizontal section there through.
A is a cake of soap of any form such as found upon the market, but preferably of a white translucent character. This cake is first carved so as to leave portions B standing in relief with surrounding portions cut away. There as shown the relief port-ion is a head, this may be carved in profile, being undercut as indicated at C with an immediately adjacent groove D of greater depth than the cutaway portion E. Any suitable pigments may then be employed for decorating the surface and for rendering portions thereof opaque. Thus the portion E may be coated with a relatively opaque pigment, while the grooved portion B is uncoated. This, when viewed by trans mitted light, will give a luminous effect surrounding the head. Also by suitable use of pigments on the relief portions, any desired effect may be produced as to either color or form.
lVhat I claim as my invention is:
1. The method of forming art products which consists in carving a bar or cake of soap to form undercut portions standing in relief, and in coating portions of the surface with pigments to render the same more opaque.
2. A novel art product comprising a bar or cake of soap having portions of its surface in relief and undercut, and portions of its surface pigment coated to render the same more opaque.
3. A novel. art product comprising a carved bar or cake of soap having a portion standing in relief and undercut to form a more translucent surrounding portion, and the surface of the portion surrounding said more translucent portion being pigment coated to render the same more opaque.
4'. A novel art product comprising a carved bar or cake of translucent material having a portion of its surface standing in relief with a surrounding groove forming a portion more translucent than either said relief portion or the portion surrounding the groove.
5. A novel art product comprising a carved bar or cake of translucent material having av portion. standing in relief with a groove undercutting said relief portion and of greater depth than the surrounding portion to produce increased translucency.
6. A novel art product comprising a fashioned bar or cake of translucent material having a portion standing in relief surrounded by an undercut groove of greater depth than the portion surrounding said groove to render the latter more translucent, portions of the surface being pigment coated to render the same more opaque.
7. A novel art product comprising a carved bar or cake of soap having a por tion standing in relief and a background portion, said relief portion being bounded by an undercut penetrating the said background portion to form a more translucent surrounding portion.
8. The method of forming art products which consists in carving a bar or cake of soap to form undercut portions standing in relief from the background portion or main body of the soap to produce a translucent surrounding for the relief portion.
9. The method of forming art products which consists in carving a bar or cake of soup to form undercut portions standing in relief from the background portion or main body of the'so'ap to produce a translucent surrounding for the relief portion, and applying pigments to the relief portion and to the background portion.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
EILEEN P. BLOCK.
