Bleeding colors can work as well. I like this with the glow around the pink swirls.

I like that one too. It's very delicate the way the pink just blushes out.

Such an excellent M&P soap.

Wow! I love the sunset colors on that one.

Oh wow!!! That is an amazing soap! I can't even begin to imagine how to make something like that.

 

[newbie]

Have to put it up. I could look at this all day.

Wow, that is one beautiful butterfly, the colours are amazing.

On page eight, at the very bottom, in the picture from the pasitoapasito website, the beige, black and orange soap.....I've long admired his soaps, but I just noticed something.....the edges. They don't look sharp, like they've been cut, and they don't look beveled either, they just look......soft. How does he do that??? The man is a wizard, for sure.

OK, maybe I'm weird, but as much as I admire amazing swirls and fancy techniques......I'm really drawn to these soaps, they just make my heart flutter. They look sooooooo creamy. http://www.aureana.es/#h=741-1422142462651

I don't know how he is polishing his edges but I know if I rinse a soap well when it is still young (that is to say not very cured at all), the edges will soften up like that because the soap "melts" quickly in water. He may bevel them and then rub them smooth, perhaps?

Natural soap and simple soaps are very attractive. Well, pretty much all types of soap are attractive, really. I will have to post one I found that is very simple but the one detail is cool and the texture/look of the soap is incredibly appealing.

Small detail which is beautiful and that texture!

I found these on the German soap making forum:

Lucy made the coffee soap. I LOVE how the middle came out.

Chameleon made the soap with the kid stamps. I get a huge kick out of them.

 

[jules92207]

Love the kids!

A great place for color inspiration:

^^Nice. I need some pink inspiration after getting all those pinks from Nurture. I haven't really worked with micas yet so kinda overwhelmed.

 

[newbie]

I got mine too and then what did I do? I made a soap with one of the pinks I already had. I feel a little lost with them all as well. I made a soap last night trying for a red, combining poppy red with just a touch of red vibrance, so we'll see how it comes out. Not fire engine red but so far it seems like a nice bright red.

Spin Swirl, made by Dandelion Seife. I love that person's stuff.

Here's the youtube link to the only video I can find about spin swirls, so I think this is the originator of it.

That's really neat... another swirl to add to the list!

Oohh nice! Yes I was also matching them up to see which would make a good bright red. That poppy is a perfect start, I think. I don't have red vibrance but I think I am going to try raspberry red with the poppy red.

Make sure to post them! I'm starting to build my mica wish list

The ingenuity of soapmakers is astounding! Dandelion is one of the most prolific soapers on the net. And she does such beautiful work.
