January 2025 SMF Challenge - Confetti!

[KiwiMoose]

Oh - so my other soap I made on 5th Jan will be fine to enter the challenge then. And I've just made another batch of (completely different) confetti soap. I'll have to decide which one looks the best to enter into the challenge...

 

[ackosel]

My read is your soap qualifies because it's a 100% confetti soap. Even if it's only 10% confetti in the soap.

Did I get that right?

That's how I read it. At least half of the soap should have confetti in it. There is no rule that says how much confetti should be in it, just that it should be visible in at least half the bar.

Now I don't even know if I qualified. I didn't measure my confetti at all, either before adding it, or visually after I cut...

Your soap is perfect - @justsomeguy has it right.

Here is my non-entry. I wanted a black and white soap but should have added more black. I also realized afterwards that I didn't math correctly and my black/confetti part is not quite 50%. It's scented with black raspberry vanilla and I love it!

That's really pretty, to bad it's not 50%.

Your soaps are gorgeous! You've got some great soaping skills!

@Cindy D. and @ackosel Thanks! I've been having experimenting and playing with swirls and layers.

Your entry is pretty, I glanced at it and thought of gold fish and minnows... Is it really orange or just my phone showing it orange?

No orange. The middle layer has purple and red confetti in it. It might be the lighting though. The window I use for my lighting is frosted and likes to throw off rainbows in the room.

Edit to add. When I showed my SIL a pic of the soap she told me it reminded her of an ocean with seaweed and fish below the water.

So here's my non-entry soap. I actually prefer it to my entry soap, but I like high contrast and in-yer-face colours and I know that most people don't, so I entered the pretty one instead.
I needed some more Black Raspberry Vanilla for stock anyway, so here it is:

It's beautiful!

@KiwiMoose I love it! It's so pretty!

Both your soaps are gorgeous! When I grow up, I want to be able to soap like you! (And a whole lot of other people on SMF!)

 

[Shirley-D]

@KiwiMoose Gorgeous, darling!
I like in-yer-face colors too.

 

[KiwiMoose]

Thanks Peeps - I do hope I've entered the right soap into the challenge now. What I like about that charcoal soap is the little crackly glycerin rivers than seem to add a bit of interest between the bits of confetti.

I make what I like, not what I think other people will like just for votes for a challenge

Me too. I like both my soaps, but I had to make a decision on which to enter. And it was the Pink Peony that I made first, so I decided to run with that one. I only made the black one because I thought the previous one hadn’t met the rules, but I was wrong.

All the confetti soaps so far are beautiful! As a reminder the entry thread closes tomorrow, January 28, at 11:59 pm gmt. Here’s a converter if you’re not sure when that is.

@KiwiMoose very cool looking soap! I think Auntie Clara would be proud.
