I really need to try a more neutral soap at some point cos this is lovely

1. mzimm - How timely-- you just saved my "unlovely" soaps from salting out today! 2. BattleGnome - don't know if I'll have time but I'll certainly try 3. My Soapy Heart - I kid you not - I was JUST contemplating on doing this anyway, I am sooooo in!! 4. AMD - not sure if I'll have time, but...

Congrats to the winners and all that participated. Gutted I didn't get mine done - I've yet another exam next Thursday so my life is pretty much work/study/sleep/repeat at the moment.

I've been wondering that myself. So far I'm thinking maybe an ITP swirl with a small amount of either white or pale green in a darker base? Maybe both? It's very beautiful however it's achieved

Gorgeous

Thank you everyone

I loved your colour choices Claire, so striking and beautiful!!

Aw!! Tank is gorgeous!!!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, Newbie has very kindly said she will be happy to forward onto me using what I believe is USPS 1st class (she mentioned the less than 4lb thing so assumed from that)

Thanks dixiedragon but I think I'd have the same issue with customs duty charges if it came from another business since they won't be able to declare it as a gift

This arrived today for my husband! Couldn't find one with it already on so found someone that would engrave anything you asked

Ah right, I see. I use a 4 bar mould for the challenges which holds around 420g of oil. I didn't have any batter left in my first two attempts but I purposefully made a larger than needed batch for my third attempt for a couple of reasons. One being my stepdaughter wanted to pour a bar of soap...

I don't think the top has been cut off that one, I just think they didn't pour over the top of the teardrop.

Lol!! So it does!!! It shall be forever known as giraffe soap!! Thanks for the kind words. I really don't know what happened to the first attempt! My 3rd attempt went much better!

So I've entered the Great Cakes Challenge this month for the first time in months. The challenge is to create a teardrop suspended in soap like this: Now try not to laugh too hard but this was my first attempt I have no words or clue as to what went wrong?? My 2nd attempt was a little...
