To make the link word blue, you first have to type the word, change it's color to blue and not until you have done that, add the url to the word. If you try to change the color after linking the url it won't change. I don't know of any way to change the picture size to other than the two you described, though.Just an off-topic question.. Is there any way to make the pictures in the entry thread a normal size? Full image is really in your face, while thumbnail is super tiny. Is there a way to make them an inbetween size? Also, can anyone explain to me how to have a word link to a url, so it turns blue when you click on it you go to a different page? I thought I could figure it out, but turns out I'm really not very tech-savvy for my age
I know it's just because I made it that I see all the flaws, but I hate it when that happens!
We can be so critical of our own work. I can honestly say that I did not see a single flaw in your soap. All I saw was beautiful creativity! And, please tell your mom I said thanks!Thanks for the explanation @earlene ! I'll try that next time
And thanks for the kind words @Mobjack Bay and @dibbles I was really happy with the soap until I started taking pictures, all of a sudden I started seeing all the flaws and it took me almost an entire day to take a picture I was ok with using as an entry pic
Also, @Mobjack Bay , I showed the entry thread to my mom and she really liked your soap, so you get her compliments
I will[emoji6] but she'll be asleep by now[emoji14]
I've been working on the survey, so I just used the first picture you submitted thinking that was maybe your favorite. There wasn't an obvious best - they were all good!Thanks for all the lovely compliments, I'm blushing. I see a lot more landscapes, and maybe a few seascapes in my future.
Wow, all of the entries are just gorgeous!
Szaza these are the type of clay tool I used: https://www.amazon.com/Kemper-Tools-MRS-Sculptng-Multicolor/dp/B007R41TG6 You can get pretty good detail and you can reshape them for finer lines.
Dibbles, I'm probably too late per usual, but any pic is fine.
I'm no expert, but when I tried this I carved into the bar a minimum of 1/4". You can then fill the carved out spaces with fresh batter or soap dough. This was a technique in the Soap Challenge Club awhile back and the challenge was named Inlaid Designs if you want to try a search.A slightly off topic question, those who carved details into the soap and then filled.them with soap batter. Do you carve the design all the way through the bar, or just on the surface? What consistency/firmness do you find you need the bar to be, for best effect? This is something I've wanted to do for a while but haven't been sure how to do it. Any tips would be very much appreciated

I only made very shallow carvings as my designs were quite small and intricate (maybe 1-2mm, which I think is about 1/16th of an inch) I did feel making deeper carvings made filling them easier.A slightly off topic question, those who carved details into the soap and then filled.them with soap batter.

The magenta color was madder root dispersed in oil, nothing special. It sat for about half an hour before I used it in the soap batter.
