    SMF April 2020 Challenge Entry Thread - Strainer Pour/Pull Through Technique

    A very well deserved winner from Belindasuds; absolutely stunning soap. I loved the calming pattern of MobjackBay’s. And thank you to everyone that voted for me ☺ to place when there were so many gorgeous entries is unexpected

    So sorry to hear that. Thoughts are with you and your family. I lost my nanna last week to the same thing

    Hopefully have time for one more attempt; if not, attempt number 2 is my entry. I don’t hate it but it’s not exactly how I wanted it to be. I hope your neck/hand is feeling better

    SMF April 2020 Challenge Entry Thread - Strainer Pour/Pull Through Technique

    I’m attempting one more today but I suspect it won’t be ready to cut before the deadline so this 2nd attempt is my entry (unless I do have time to cut attempt 3 and like it more). I think this is pretty though; looks like a bunch of roses Just to add, this is scented with Almond Marzipan.

    Well my first attempt was awful! Was at emulsion and in a heart beat was thick trace! You can see the spirals but it’s not very pretty!

    Yeah that was me; flattered you’re going down the same route. I’ve taken inspiration from so many of the great soapers on this forum over the years so it’s nice to be the one providing the inspiration. Although I do feel under pressure to create something great now 😂 I think I used superglue...

    Once I’d poured I just pulled it up and this was the result. Make you cut on the horizontal though

    First soaps in 18 months

    Aw thanks Marty! I used superglue. I had no idea if it would hold up but decided if anything stood a chance it was that!! It’s still totally intact too so plan to do some more with it. I wonder if over time the glue will degrade? I only use my soaps at home so not too worried about the affect on...

    First soaps in 18 months

    I look forward to seeing your finished soap and of course I don’t mind - I love seeing other people’s interpretations/versions using the same method. The thing with garden wire is the possibilities are endless - I will definitely be having another go soon
