Here is a photo of my second attempt..I am starting to get closer to what I wanted, and getting used to the technique, but I don't have time for a third attempt. With this one I actually used old bar I had, fitted them into the slab mould and then poured the black base colour on top. My soap...

Well I haven't made soap for aaaaaages, life getting in the way as it does. This is so out of the box though, I may have to try to find some time ... Can we use a normal loaf mould but cut it as per a slab?

Sorry for the delay everyone and thank you for your patience. I'll have the voting link to you by tonight

The entry thread for this month's challenge is now closed. Those eligible to vote will receive their survey link soon; please bear with me as it may be a little while longer as I've recently moved house and job, and have some commitments to attend to tomorrow.
