Thank you, I see hummingbirds too. I also saw a face. Many interesting morphed images. Psychedelic night garden. lol I know my pictures are terrible. I need to work on that. The soaps look better in person. I can’t tell you how many pictures I took for this challenge. 😊

Congratulations to all the winners! Lots of beautiful soap swirls. Great job to all the participants as well.

There’s a lot of fun images that emerged. I saw eyes and a face. Thank you

I agree. I wish I could try everyone’s beautiful soaps!

I am from Long Island and have a vacation home in PA that we are hoping to retire to eventually. Soaping is such great therapy, so much to learn about. Many recipes and methods to try, oils, additives, fragrances to learn about. Welcome 🤗

This is a soap I did with all natural colorants that I decided not to enter into challenge. My inspiration for colors was a Monet postcard I have. I used Brazilian clay, indigo and spinach. The rest of the bar was left natural with some kaolin clay. The FO is lavender sage with sweet basil EO...

When I put in my pictures for entry they were in the right sequence. How can I fix that? The last picture would up being the first for some reason.

We can only enter challenge 1x right? This is where I could post my other soap I didn’t use for entry?

My colors were inspired by the Northern lights we have been seeing all around the country this year. Neon orange, yellow, blue, hot pink by NUrture soap and charcoal. I made it with goats milk and silk added to the lye. Star Showers FO/EO Blend by NS. The soap reminds me of “Psychedelic Folk...

I love my wire cutter and have a planer. I did plane one of the loafs. Next time I will use a knife when I know I am taking pictures. The bumps are very subtle in person but the camera really magnifies them. You will love the wire cutter. I love mine. For soaps that I will be photographing I...

Yes, I have! I am torn between the 2. One is more dramatic and the other very subtle. I learned that I shouldn’t have used my wire cutter to cut these soaps. When I took pictures of them the bumps were more prominent. They look so much nicer in reality than in the photos. And I didn’t notice...

I love mixing the micas in oil too. Much better.

I have a question about colors. I used 5 in one loaf and 3 in another. The colors when I hanger swirled mixed and probably created other colors. Would that disqualify the soap from being entered? Because there are more than 5 colors? I made 2 loaves with 2 totally different color ideas for...

I love her videos. She is so talented and knowledgeable. Shares so much to help the viewer create successfully. I never have. Have you? This is my first time entering a contest in soaps. I just want to challenge myself. Hanger swirls are fun, yet stressful. Between batter consistency, color and...

Thank you I only do hot process soaps and Melt and pour with my grandchildren. Thank you for the compliment.

I find that hard to believe, I bet your soaps are gorgeous with all of your know how! Thanks for your feedback! I love Hot Process, today I’m trying a watermelon style soap. Even though I’m not really a fan of food looking soap or glitter etc. But my grandkids asked for it, so here I go..lol

I didn’t know how to directly message you. I wanted to thank you for the great advice. I got much more fluid results this time. Thank you
