    If you're concerned it will not qualify, you can most definitely pm me a picture and I will let you know. :)

    I think yes. The green isn't too much nor are the specks. Very cute!

    Wet Soap Wednesday

    Hey Kittish! It is exactly what dibbles posted. The 1 lb loaf mold from BB. They are perfect for trial and test size batches. And yes, they make four bars of soap.

    So my crummy challenge example, I thought, had a pretty top to it. Here's my wet soap Wednesday for the minimalistic challenge.

    Yes, individual bars molds work. My only warning with them is you'll need to be extremely light-handed with your accents. They will overwhelm such a small individual bar if you are not careful. :)

    SunRiseArts, that green mp would definitely qualify if you choose to do something similar. Thx saltedfig:)

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    Well, technically I had already made soap, uploaded the videos, and pretyped the challenge. I even managed to start the challenge a tad early before Oct 1. So glad I did because all this happened appx 830pm September 29th! Grrr. I'll be fine. As my husband and I say, "I'll live" haha. I'm...

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    I have tried mp and I just am flat out no good at it! I think the soap on the right in the second picture wouldn't qualify because though it is predominantly one main color and the accent used is a very small percentage of the overall amount, the front of the soap looks more busy. The accent is...

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    I apologize first off. I never thought of melt and pour. Second off as long as it adheres to the rules, yes M&P would work. I'm curious now and excited to see what you have to show! Sometimes we seem to be more CP geared, but MP is absolutely okay. I do apologize for not giving examples of M...

    Traumabrew, thx for joining the challenge! You need a minimum of 50 posts to submit I wanted to mention. Seeing as you're at 48, I wanted to be sure you have 2 more before the thread opens in case you didn't see that part. Not like that's too hard lol, just wanted to be sure. Thx again for...

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    Swirls are not a requirement. The examples show different ideas that you could do. Something like claras solid color with a design in mica drawn on top works, for example. I just said simple minimalistic swirl because I really didn't know what else to call this technique. I guess it got a...

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    Well dibbles, I made a promise and rsvp'd to a wedding on the 20th. It's a 5 plus hr drive to see my dad's side of the family. I haven't see my Aunts Uncles or cousins on that side in at least 10 to 15 years. So I asked the doctor if I could wait on the surgery until the 24th. He said it would...

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    ANNOUNCEMENT: If you've joined after my announcement, please scroll back to the announcement in red on percentages. CaraBou made a discovery on percentages of accent colors. Second, I am scheduled for surgery for October 24th. Saponista is going to help me finish the survey and the...

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    PLEASE READ! Per CaraBou's observation, 25% of your batter for the accent appears to be way too much. I think less than 20%, more along the lines of 10 to 15% at most for swirls is more accurate. For an ebru design, it is probably much much less like less than 1% ( if you look at the ebru...

    October 2017 SMF Soap Challenge, simple minimalistic swirl

    Well CaraBou it looks like it might be. I was really thinking that it would become much less at 25% then that. I guess I kind of put myself in a pickle on this challenge. Let me think about this for a second, and I might bold at the beginning of the challenge to look at your soap and see that...

    Thanks everyone, I think I'll be okay. I'm going to try to get into a doctor this week. In the meantime I'll be checking in several times a day. Forgive me if my messages seem wonkie on the thread. I'm trying to talk text so I don't have to type too much.
