February 2017 SMF Soap Challenge- Ebru Soaps

[redhead1226]

Everyone your Ebru soaps are all beautiful. I didn't enter as its a little beyond my skill level, having never done it. So Im so envious of all of you. I might try to make one when I have time just to see how it goes. But all of you did a great job!

I had never done anything like it before either - but the video tutorials that were included in the initial posting were EXTREMELY helpful. The DNA swirl, while looking super complicated, was actually one of the easiest swirls I've tried so far! Even though the competition is over, I would definitely suggest giving the video a watch and then giving it a try.

I agree, the DNA swirl was surprisingly easy. It was my first time trying any kind of swirl at all and I was pleasantly surprised.

French curls are pretty darn easy too! It looks intimidating for many of the slab type swirls, but I've decided a skewer or similar is much easier to get a good result with than a hanger.

I threw this together the other weekend, inspired by several of the entries. The color pallet was for Mardi Gras, since this was my first year living in Louisiana. I've discovered I really dislike challenges, so don't want to enter but I liked how this turned out. I scented it with WSP's coconut lime verbena. I cut it into 12 1.5" x 3" bars and will pass it out to ladies at work once it is cured.

Congratulations Newbie, leilaninoel and Howieroll on you stunning soaps. Congratulations to all who submitted an entry and to all those who made soap but it didn't come up to their highly (too highly set?) standards.

You've produced some beautiful soaps while I've been sitting on the couch procrastinating!

 

[dibbles]

Looks like I get to be the first to congratulate the winners. Well done, all of you. Everyone that entered did a great job with this challenge. Thanks to LP for this one.

ETA PJ types faster than me. Second to offer congratulations.

 

[Soapprentice]

Congratulations guys!!! Love all the soaps!! And a great challenge... like PJ said, I am one of those with too highly set standards, considering this is my 2 nd soap and 1st ever with color, I should have entered it.. well, lesson learnt and will not be repeated but hey, I made an ebru soap!!!

 

[earlene]

Congratulations, Newbie, Leilaninoel & HowieRoll. You each did a fabulous design with your ebru soaps!

Thank you, Lionprincess00, for the challenge. It was a lot of fun.

Thank you, LP. That was probably my favorite challenge so far. So much to do and learn.
