Whoops, accidentally payed in the entree thread. Congrats, winners! Beautiful soaps!

Congrats everyone!

Quite alright. Thank you!

Just an FYI: @earlene The voting link does not appear to be in the body of the email.

Yes ma’am. 😉

Officially an empty-nester. Daughter is doing her college thing. Hubby went right from dropping her off to a work trip so I’m all by my lonesome. I masterbatched fats and lye solution before our trip, knowing I’d need a distraction once I got home. Turns out, my daughter is adjusting...

When the time comes to upload the entry photos, please use the last photo in my post @earlene. I tried to edit it to have my entry photo be the first but I kept messing it up and now the post is locked. Thank you!

Really enjoyed making my entry soap. Definitely helped that my fragrance oil was well-behaved and gave me lots of time to pour each layer for the tiger swirl portion without the final pours being thick. These are probably not the best bars in the batch but I’m out of town dropping my daughter...

Used tiger swirl technique in tall and skinny mold set an angle, let that set, then mini drop swirl. Fragranced with one of my favorites, BB’s Willow and Ivy.

Uh, I sure hope she says it's ok because the zebra swirl was one of my "swirls" used in my entry! I did go by this quote of hers to give me the green light to use the tiger swirl: "Since the purpose of the Kiss Pour is to create unique swirls in soap, then, yes, it is. Any technique or method...

🤣 I did really well teaching my daughter to drive. And by that I mean I white-knuckled it but kept my mouth tightly shut. Today is my two-year Soap Making Forum Anniversary!

I tend to be a bit controlling about some things. It's why no one ever wants to cook with me...which I truly prefer. I'm not proud to admit that but I 'yam what I 'yam. Ya know? I tried really hard to let go and not over-manage the activity. It was a good exercise in emotional regulation (for...

So excited about my entry soap! Feeling impatient to post the darn thing already. :D 🤪

My sister is visiting for the first time since COVID. We made soap together! I thought teaching someone how to make soap would be fun. It wasn't. It was stressful!

Made my first attempt. Really like it but I’ll probably do another because it included two techniques I’ve never done successfully. And I love the effect and want to play around with colors.

Oof! Glad I took a thorough read of the entry photo rules. Almost missed this:

Would an ITP swirl, poured, then a drop swirl layer on top of that layer align with the rules? Thank you, @earlene.

Clarification: Is the kiss pour considered a “swirl” technique?

You executed the technique wonderfully!
