Stamp and bottle top, and the stamped soap

Here's mine, I'll call it "pumpkin spice latte"


Tiny squares


Scented with Pumpkin + Espresso

I am completely out of time for another try, so this is it. First picture wet soap with tool, second picture set up in mold, third picture cut bars. Unfortunately my wire caused an air bubble at the top curve. I smoothed it out as many times as I dared, but couldn't stop it from happening. Scented with Black Raspberry Vanilla.

Here's mine - only had time for 1 attempt this month

My wire stamps (the butterfly is in 2 halves as I couldn't get the two halves to go together right)


Just poured (drop followed by hanger in there)


Wet soap after stamping and a close up




Finished soap and close up




Can't show cut pics yet as its too soft to cut - dark & pale pink and dark green inside. Scented with cherry blossom.

This is my Eucalyptamint soap made with a FO/EO blend and after three days the whole house still smells awesome.
Pic 1 is the tool and molds I used, Pic 2 is freshly poured and stamped & 3 is right after unmolding.

Here we go. This is my standard vegan palm recipe, colored with Nurture Klein Blue with Nurture Shimmer Gold mica highlights nand scented with NG Perfect Man FO.

1st is my mold and stamp. 2nd is after stamping and highlighting. 3rd is just before cut, and 4th is cut and beveled.

Well here goes. The ash really did me in with this one and I can't figure out why my photos are blurry. Unfortunately I don't have time to correct either problem so here's my entry, for what it's worth, lol. I made a gingerbread man out of florist wire and used a toothpick to add his eyes and buttons which you can't see in the pic. It's scented with BB's Gingersnap.

Heres my lame attempt. Didn't want to get to close as all i could smell was the piggy lardiness. Yuck.

Molded paper clip inverted stamp. This really was the best of my attempts...

First a picture of my attempt still wet with my tool at the top of the mold.

Second is after it set a bit.

My very pathetic attempt at this challenge! ! First one is soap just poured, second one with pattern, third one with soap and straw used.

Here I am entering one of my all-time ugliest batches... sigh. the FO discolored unexpectedly from white to mauve. My attempt to bring up some color from the base layer to the top, white layer failed miserably. My stamping looks like an accident.

In the mold:

My Tools (please excuse the mess):

The finished , sad soap

 

[CaraBou]

1. Before (most) of my attempt to pull up colored soap from underneath 2. After I wrecked it 3. Cut bar 4. Mini frother tool

 

[commoncenz]

Didn't get a chance to have another go at it. So, I'll have to go with the first attempt. 1) Tool: shaped wire ying/yang symbols on both ends of a dowel 2) Larger ying/yang symbol 3) Smaller ying/yang symbol 4) Just poured and stamped 5) After one day

Grrrr....a lot of "life" has been happening around our house lately and I almost didn't get an entry made for this months challenge.

This is Oatmeal, Milk & Honey, with goats milk, raw ground whole oats, and locally harvested raw honey. My stamp tool is made from soft rubber coated wire, formed into a cluster of hearts. I really like the potential of this technique and will be playing with it some more.
