I’m not super happy with my attempts for this month, but have possibly decided to use the first soap I made. I guess it will depend on how the soap photography goes tomorrow.

I'm sure it's lovely.
Peeps, I've been slammed with post-vacation work pileup after being unplugged for two weeks. An entry soap had to be made by this morning if it was going to make the deadline, and I had high hopes... but then an urgent time-sensitive matter just smashed into my Inbox at 7am this morning. Worked on it all day and will be on it most of tomorrow, as well. Sigh.
Bottom line, no soap entry for me this month. Looking at the entries so far, I'm pretty sure I couldn't top them anyway. Looking good, y'all!

@Mobjack Bay, how do you bevel your soaps so beautifully?

This is my first attempt, which I planned as a traveling kiss pour. I cut up two of the bars in a wild search for feathering. Rorschach happening here.

What is this challenge? And how do you do this méthod?
SMF has a monthly soap making challenge. This month the challenge is to make soaps using the Kiss Pour Technique. If you look back to the first post in this thread, you will find the rules to participate and links to videos showing how to do the technique.
Here is a thread with all the past challenges if you want to see them. It's fun looking through them all.

This was from my first batch, where the batter was fluid only for the first soap. Upon planing it I found a profile face (or a moon?) looking at me with what seems to me a mischievous grin:
My first attempt, it smells wonderful and is pretty, but no feathering because it got too thick. We won't even talk about my second attempt 
I love that! The colours are amazing. Was i supposed to be aiming for feathering in mine? LOL. I think I should get bonus points for even putting my attempt into the entry thread at allMy first attempt, it smells wonderful and is pretty, but no feathering because it got too thick. We won't even talk about my second attempt

All this talk about feathering has got me thinking of Farrah Fawcett.

I threw my back out and ended up with more doctor visits than I anticipated. Between getting my back fixed up and planning a surgery (unrelated to my back), I’ve just not made soap. My Hercules cutter came in, and I’ve got to get my batch made to cut with that so I can get it donated, but life has been a good bit to handle this summer, and apparently while I want to do more, I’m stuck at bare minimum still.
Here’s my second attempt at a kiss pour that I did last year for a challenge. I’ll pretend I can recreate this design
. I can’t wait to see everyone’s, and good luck to you all.

@WhittanyWho taking care of yourself is the most important thing. Soap will wait and I hope you get to enjoy what is left of the summer. The soap you made is beautiful. Heal quickly and well.
As an entrant, would it be mean of me to say I’m glad you didn’t enter? Lol - No,I threw my back out and ended up with more doctor visits than I anticipated.

in all seriousness, this is a gorgeous soap and really I hope you feel better!
@WhittanyWho Looks like a perfect kiss pour to me
