This month the soap challenge club theme was sculpted layers. It was really hard work and I've been tight for time this month so it nearly killed me to get it done. Here is my entry in the end though, it's meant to look like a city skyline.

I use my punch on label sheets - it's white pvc waterproof labels. You have to do it in one quick sharp motion and use quite a lot of force and they pop out.

Attempting sculpted layers for the great cakes challenge. I tried something a bit intricate so I'm not sure it will have worked.

I'm glad you enjoyed it blackdog, can't wait to see your entry :)

That's a shame Penelope. I think June seems to be a busy month for us all!

It's lovely maya - they are such beautiful things. You don't see them much over here in the UK. They are much bigger inside than I would have imagined too. Love seeing the progress you are making and can't wait to see it finished. Keep posting pics please, I am enjoying seeing them :)

Hi Zoe, nice to see u on here.

The lady that organised it is French so there are quite a few French participants, but we also had Poland, Denmark, Spain, Italy and a few others I have forgotten!

Would love to see the results a couple of months down the line navaria. :)

A little kitchen knife, like those u would use to cut up apples works well too if you can't find the knife u were looking for Teresa.

Glad we have another enthusiastic participant earlene! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I just took part in a European soap swap and my box of goodies arrived today! So excited to try them all out. Thought you guys would share in my excitement because no one else understands the joy of a good soap swap!

It was not a problem my soapy heart, don't worry yourself about it :) I'm so glad you are excited about this black dog. I really enjoyed carving out the pieces for my soap. I think I will definitely have another go at some point.

On that note, has anyone had any luck with stabilising vanilla in cold process soap? I always try to work with the brown shade, but sometimes I wish there was a way to stop it turning brown.

Forgot to say thanks for showing us what you have done so far battegnome!

I am happy to accept entries that are made entirely with melt and pour. It would be nice to have some new participants who don't make cold process taking part. The more the merrier. These challenges were set up to be a learning experience and for us to get to know each other so it would be...

Thanks for letting me in on your lives, I love to know what other people are up to, lots of different and varied things going on! I don't think I could stand the heat if it was in the over 40C it was bad enough in the sun today with the sea breeze. I had a lovely day but am a bit sun burnt, I...

Can you get black books on Netflix? It's one of my favourite comedies of all time, I own the dvd's and I rarely ever watch to shows more than once. It is dark sarcastic British humour and it still makes me laugh even though I have seen it a ton of times.

Have you watched the tunnel Teresa! That's on Netflix and I really enjoyed it, it's quite dark but it was a really entertaining watch.
