Here's a batch that I made last week in preparation for the class I helped to teach on Thursday. The design is a simple hanger swirl. Limgonberry Spice

Today my sister and I taught our first soaping class at our local private school. We had seven senior girls in the class. I had some trepidations, but the process went very smoothly overall. I'm really excited about cutting all the loaves tomorrow! We let the girls pick their colors, and it was...

The classic alternating wall pour looks extra snazzy in the all-new tall-and-skinny edition!

Totally fantastic soap, @Vicki C ! I'm blown away. Is there a link to view all the entries if you weren't part of the challenge?

My sister made this batch, but I think it's pretty and wanted to share it...plus I took the pictures :) Botanicals on top of the loaf are a new thing for us. I found these cornflower petals in Hobby Lobby's soap section. Jade

I decided to make this thread as a place I can continue to post new soap pictures as I make more batches (instead of continually posting new threads). Here are a few batches that I've made recently. All fragrances are from Bramble Berry. Peach Prosecco I modeled this batch off the Cucumber...

@earlene I have a question about this challenge. How significant does the weather event/life event have to be? Can it be something that just holds special memories (I'm thinking of good times I've had when it's snowed), or does it need to be something that is a little more life-changing?

This bar here makes me think of a roadrunner dashing along in front of a desert sunset 😄

I'd be really curious to know the process as I'd love to have a good outlet for my scraps. Have you posted about this elsewhere on SMF? And yes, I almost always bevel. It feels like a slight waste, but to me the aesthetics outweigh the loss. After you've beveled dozens of batches with a potato...

So for a little more information about my entry...I started out a little too confidently and stickblended to what seemed like a nice trace (looking back, I think I blended too long). The batter was a nice consistency when I started pouring, but before I'd gotten more than halfway through the...

Here's my entry. This was the first time I'd tried to make a subtle ombre, and it almost failed when my batter thickened significantly. Thankfully I was able to get the basic effect I was going for by cutting the loaf in a different direction than normal. Fragrance is Ray of Sunshine from...

@violets2217 I literally gasped when I saw your entry. Amazing work! I'm waiting for my oils & lye to cool down so I can make my entry.

This sounds familiar....except that my friend originally asked for 50 bars, then 75, then 100! Thankfully my sister makes soap too, so we worked together to make it, and she designed the labels and wrapped it all. Here's a picture from Saturday of some of the soap (used as thank-you gifts for...

Finally I got around to taking pictures of my batch. This is scented with Amazon Lily & Rain from BB; I made use of the slight acceleration when doing my layers. (Sadly the line between the blue and orange got a little bumpy, plus some of those seemingly unavoidable glycerin rivers appeared.)...

Sign up list: 1. Spowers - this is right up my alley - love 'unchallenges'! 2. KimW -awe man - With summer in full swing I was going to sit out July's, but can't resist a chance to lessen my load of soap shavings! 3. Phoenix - I have just the design in mind! 4. Tara_H - Confettipalooza! 5. Mrs...

Just helped my sister execute this circling taiwan swirl. (Sorry it's such a poor picture.) I held the slipping dividers while she poured 😄

For whatever it's worth, I haven't regretted the soap planer I got from Amazon for $13-ish a few months ago. Not to try to persuade you to buy more soapy things, but... ;) I'm sure there're better/nicer options out there, but so far this one's serving my purposes quite nicely!

Amen! So...when is the next challenge announced? 😂
