AMy Warden found another butterfly swirl and posted it for the challenge in the video section.

Where is the video section? Can't seem to find it.

When you sign up for the soap challenge on the great cakes soapworks page, you get an email with special access to the video tutorials. If you choose to not enter the contest, after the contest ends, you can pay a small fee, I believe, and get the tutorial for reference.
If you signed up for the contest and can't access the video, contact Amy and she can help you out.

Jules, if you find the maker, let me know. Google didn't find the image anywhere other than on pinterest but that doesn't mean it isn't someplace else.

Today's pic. The brown and white swirls look like they have to be CP. I have not seen an M&P soap swirled like that, but maybe it can be. Pretty ingenious!

Really like this soap, but the blog post is in Spanish and can't translate it on my iPad. I wonder how they did the swirl? Anyone got any ideas?

Looks like a hanger swirl to me, they just laid down a bit of color in the spots they wanted it then used a hanger to swirl it around

Just found this on on Pinterest. It's made by Handmade In Florida

I've seen lots of handmade in Floridas soaps on YouTube. So beautiful! Wow! Amazing talent.
I'm a bit jaded on Pinterest, because I've found that many pics are photoshopped. Why anyone would do that I don't know. It's like cheating on a test. No personal satisfaction that I can imagine. Sometimes, it's the imperfection that makes things beautiful. That's what I tell myself anyway.

 

[newbie]

I saw a picture someone had photoshopped but it was badly done. I think everything I posted is legit, or at least it looks like it.

Tomorrow's soap today, in case I don't get a chance to post it.

Oh, that luscious deep red color....I want it. I wonder if it bleeds and if not, where in the world did they get it? Anyone have something like it?

 

[jules92207]

Oh I want it too... Wow.

I think I need to do some color shopping.

 

[newbie]

THese two by Puro. THe skull cracked me up.

 

[snappyllama]

That skull is cool, but the teeth freak me out. I don't think I would want to encounter that staring back at me in the middle of the night with his non-eyes. Eek!

Those tiles are adorable though.

merlot mica from BB is similar but a bit more red. I bet adding a little blue would produce that nice burgundy.

 

[jules92207]

It's the kind of burgundy I imagine madder root powder would make but haven't tried it yet.

 

[lionprincess00]

My merlot mica from bb doesn't soap anywhere close to that! It, in high amounts, soaps out mauvy pink. Can you get it that dark, because I'd love to know how much you add to do it!
Side note, when I got it it had moisture in it, and the texture was obviously off for mica. Yet another problem I've had from them, unfortunately.

 

[newbie]

Holy mackerel. 154 people signed up for the butterfly challenge.

Deep red- maybe a red mica with black added?


Just beautiful. Looking for maker.

A "making of" the geometry soap

This is good for inspiration and for looking for/at color combos that might work.

Ok, so it's not soap, but I saw this at my hairdresser's shop and couldn't help but think it would make a beautiful soap design.

 

[newbie]

Love that deep color! It's similar to the deep red one but with more purple/blue to it.

This is interesting. It's a single peacock. The top one looks like it could have been poured into the top of the mold but the bottom one and the way it trails up... swirled that way?

Another unusual but interesting way to look for color combos that work and patterns.

 

[newbie]

I love both of these, for different reasons. Simple in ways but not in others.
