Congratulations to the winners 🎉 I enjoyed all entries - I hadn't a clue that you could have such different designs by using the column pour technique, this challenge was a real eye opener for me!

Beautiful soaps, the white colour makes all the details pop out even more!

I love the bigger size of the confetti, it works well with the rounded shape of the soap!

Could it be "fatty bloom"? I've come across a blog post and an Instagram post recently which suggested the term, it's the first time I hear it but it looks similar to the feathery crystals in your photo.

Welcome! 😊

If only we could smell pictures - creme de menthe sounds wonderful! And loving the frosting on this soap, it looks well defined. It didn't occur to me that you could change the recipe for the frosting to make it set up more slowly - thanks for sharing!

I'm still away from my soaping tools so I'm keeping myself soaply entertained by catching up on the forum and starting to read the latest Jo Haslauer's ebook on botanical colorants ("Natural Soap Color - Plant Magic"). I've had my eyes on it for some time now, and it arrived in my inbox as a...

I'm loving everyone's spaces. There are lots of interesting ideas in this thread! I wish at some point I will have a bit more space for a dedicated soaping area or at least a handy cart. I currently live in a small studio apartment so I'm also team soaping-in-the-kitchen! All my supplies are...

This sounds like such a fun technique! I'll be cheering from the sidelines as I'm out of town and sadly away from my soaping tools (but taking notes for the first opportunity to soap again 😁 ). Can't wait to see everyone's entries!

Congratulations to the winners! 🌊 Beautiful soaps everyone, it was tough to vote!

Just queueing with the others to say - wow! Those are all such pretty soaps! I especially like the pastel ones. The mica painting you did on the M&P shells was a real labour of love, the end result is stunning!

Thank you for sharing your experiment! I'll also have a look into the 28% lye concentration. I'm planning a 100% coconut oil soap which I usually use as stain remover and I'll have a try to see if it works better.

Beautiful soaps! I especially love the name and cheerful look of Lime in the Coconut.

These are stunning! Good luck with the challenge. I especially like the cube embed one with the red background, it just looks beautiful with that contrast of colours. I'll wait for the reveal to hear what the sunflower with the bowtie is 😁

I for sure am! 😂 seriously, I'd love to be less messy as I suspect my micas end up half in the soap and half on the spoon/container/microfiber cloth, it's such a shame. I'm loving all the entries, they are brilliant. I'm ready to take a vacation now! I had some time to trim my soap yesterday...

I'm in awe of the other entries but in the spirit of participating I'll go ahead and join with my Small Wave soap 🌊 The technique is the one shown in this YouTube Wave Soap video (there are no English subtitle and the camera angle isn't the best at all times, so I combined this video and the...

I've only used coffe grounds (but spent ones, well dried and added to the batter at trace) so number 2 is an intriguing one, I wouldn't have thought to add it at lye. If you're after a coffee-ish colour, then the grounds definitely add a brownish tint but depending on the size of your grounds...

Thanks for mentioning this! It is very clear. I didn't notice and on my first try I thought it was each colour going in at one time, so all colour 1, all colour 2, all colour 3, etc. I'll go and rewatch Roko's video. On a happier note, I have unmolded my soap after my divider oversight and much...

For anyone trying the one pot wonder technique shown in the Cheeky Goat Soaps video, are you finding that it's best to have a thin or medium trace for the different colours to show better? In my one attempt I poured at emulsion but I think the colours mixed a bit. They did seep out to another...

I have my monthly challenge soap resting in the mold but it definitely didn't go as planned haha. I'm laughing at myself (not worth getting down about it I guess!) as I happily managed to squeeze in a soaping session today after work, had my colours ready, did my design... but still, I kept...
