1st SMF Soap Challenge- July

[newbie]

You are limited to the 6 patterns I put up

A: Zig-zag
B: Diagonal Curve (for lack of a better term)
C: Pull Down
D: Eyelet
E: Leap Frog
F: Loop

YOu can make them small and do them in rows or do them in a large pattern, as shown, but you have to work with these 6 patterns.

[newbie]

Yes, you can use different tools but you have to make certain you show us the tool in the picture of that pattern, done with that tool.

 

[Sonya-m]

Great vids Newbie!!

And thanks for the awesome tip about the small batch then turning it over for the next!!!

Oh my gosh time has flown LOL. I have my new mold and even though I am very new to slabs and have not attempted any of those swirls I am always up for a challenge! I think you guys will push me to doing better!

 

[newbie]

Put yourself on the list Artisan! The more the merrier.

I have already done my first attempt since I had planned on doing the slab mold with these colors anyway. It did not go as well as I wanted because it thickened up way too fast. New fragrance Spiced Apple Pecan. Yup think it did it. I even put it in the oils before adding lye. Did not get as many pics as I wanted because it was going too fast to work with anymore.
For your viewing pleasure I will attach what order I did technique after I get these attachments uploaded. Pleases remember this is my first attempt at a slab with these type techniques. I used A then E then C ish LOL I got confused and it was getting way to thick. Think they will turn out okay anyway

 

[dillsandwitch]

Hey Newbie Ive been laid up with a nasty cold for the last couple of days. I'm hoping to venture out of the house tomorrow to see if i can pick up a silicone cake pan to use. I just dont wanna put my name down and then be too sick to have a go and disappoint everyone. Instead of photos could I do a video of the entire pour?

 

[newbie]

Yes, as long as we get clear shots of the our before swirling, after each swirl and the final soap. Don't take my video as an example because my camera was a bit too far away for good detail.

 

[mazimazi]

MaziMazi and Dillsandwitch, where are you??? Come on everyone and give it a try! You have nothing to lose!
