Make up a whole bunch of black soap balls. Make up a batch of soap batter, pour it in the mold right at trace. Drop the black soap balls in the mold at varying heights.
The soap would be scented in either NGC's Pooch Smooch or Flowering Dogwood

Nice. I was thinking drip black from a tipped bottle into layers of white shaking the mold as you go to make the spots irregular.

DW, you really crack me up. This reminds me of a test question.
What about getting a bone shaped or paw print mold?

LOL, I actually pondered that possibility.

Since Ms. DeVille wanted the furs of the puppies to make her coat, I can offer you free of charge, all the black and white dog fur you would ever need. My beagle sheds mostly black and white...

Make a soap shaped like a white coat with black spots.
So here was my attempt at Dalmation soap
Seriously, if I had said to myself, "Hey Daryl, Let's screw up a batch of soap." I couldn't have done any worse. Next time you think to yourself at 10 pm after a long day your real job, "Let's make soap," just drink the lye instead. It'll be more productive. First I screwed up the lye by taking a shortcut and pouring the water into it...I know...I know. Hey kids at home, don't do that. Now I have bars that I am literally afraid to use because they probably have lye crystals in them just waiting to dissolve on my skin in the shower. The black soap turned out to be more gray, and the pouring method through the squeeze bottle didn't allow the soap to be heavy enough to adequately penetrate the white layer. I should turn in my scale :-(

It looks great though!
Y'all are really sweet. I KNEW it was too late to start, but we're going to Phoenix this weekend for 5 days, and I wanted to get it curing. Just think, some poor coconut paid the ultimate price, so I could put it's oil in this toxic waste dump. It's like Vietnam all over again. Make soap, not war, man!

Does it zap? I love the looks of this soap.
I wouldn't even think of doing a zap test for a couple of weeks. I'll let you know.

I would be tempted to add a few red balls or red soap curls (to look like collars) to give it a touch of color.

I know this doesn't help now, but I just remembered something else that you can do for polka dots instead of soap balls.
After you pour the white batter in, place straws all through out the soap. Then once it hardens up, take the straws out & use a squeeze bottle (cut part of the tip off first to widen it) and squeeze black soap into the holes.

Good idea. I think the interesting thing about Dalmations is the irregularity of the placement and shape of the spots. Making irregular spots seems to be the challenge.
I wonder what would happen if you used a turkey baster to squeeze blobs of black soap directly into the white soap batter? I am a total newb but I do have an imagination! In my brain, it would work.

Should you choose to retire your scale, I know where it can be donated. You know... for a good cause. Just sayin'. ;-) Seriously, it doesn't look that bad and you can probably rebatch it. I think there's potential in a dalmatians soap, so give it another go when you're up for it.

DW you can always shread it, add more oil and rebatch it. Yes your beautiful work will be erased....but then you can give more soap to your cause!
