This month's challenge is another theme based challenge. You must make a soap within the theme of mythological creatures or characters. This means anything that does not exist, only in your favourite book or movie or folklore. For example, unicorns, dragons, leprechauns, pixies, fairies, the grinch, beetlejuice...... Your soap does not have to resemble the creature exactly (unless you want to of course), but you can just take inspiration from the subject, such as a dragon scale soap, or a unicorn soap with just a horn on top or a leprechaun soap with rainbows, pots of gold and four leaf clovers etc.

You may use any soap making technique you like to produce your soap.

If you are unsure whether your idea is suitable then please message me and I will help.

I ran out of time to make a soap of my own I'm afraid. I had great plans to make a kraken themed soap using soap dough which I haven't tried using before, but work commitments and a house move have taken over. I will post it if I manage to have a go in the next three weeks or so though.

Thanks for participating and please sign up using the sign up sheet below.

13. Artemis- time to dig out the leftover soap dough!
 
I played with some of the soap dough left over from that particular challenge. It is still soft enough to work with, so I made this teeny dragon, just to see if I could. I can't seem to figure out the legs, though...

Not sure if it is me, But when I click on the thread from the sticky on top of the forum, gives me an error.
