Happy Thanksgiving @basti - I always love seeing your creations, and these are all lovely!

@basti , as usual, your soaps are fantastic. I absolutely LOVE the color and design on # 1 and #2. I can't believe # 6 is scraps!! thanks for sharing!

@basti , your soaps are all amazing! I aspire to copy every single one some day if I live long enough and soap long enough to acquire your skills!
Your soaps are so detailed. Can I ask, how long did it take you to make all these soaps? Actually, pick ONE. How long would it take you to make a loaf from beginning to end, include your time to come up with your design and to select fragrance, etc. ?

You are having so much fun with your soap projects! This is what it’s all about! Nice!

Last one for 2024! I finished these all up before the beginning of December. I was in a neon mood, so most of these are super bright!

Midwest Sweet Strawberry + NG Guava - NG Blue Agave - DOOP Oolong Tea
NG Cactus Blossom - NG Peach Bellini Bikini
1. Neon ITPS using a blend of FOs
2. Ciaglia hanger swirl, a bit muddier than intended but it's growing on me.
3. Neon + Activated Charcoal ITPS with a moon embed + soap dough balls
4. Neon + Activated Charcoal ITPS
5. Activated Charcoal base with ciaglia (#3's bevels, specifically) and soapy planets. This one ashed on top, but I opted to keep it since it looks like star dust. I haven't steamed a bar in ages because most of the time the ash works with the design haha

That's all. Happy new year and I'll hopefully have something to share from this year soon~
