Thanks!I’m not @Tara_H but I think she might have poured black, then white, used a hanger to make the two sides of the trunk. Do a little shaping of the top. Let that set. Mix the “confetti” with white batter and poured that on top of the set bottom layer. How’d I do? I’m thinking of trying this for a fall apple tree soap. It’s just the slightest abstract and non-fussy.
I adore it, by the way. Very out of the box.
July will be an UnChallenge month. There are five mods for the challenges so we each take two months, and have unchallenges for July and December. For Unchallenges the rules are pretty lax - I believe anyone can enter just by posting their soap in the thread and there is no voting. It's a fun sharing opportunity on the forum. (Ahem, as if our usual sharing isn't fun enough)Now I wonder what next month's challenge will be?
Ok, that makes sense. Sounds fun.July will be an UnChallenge month. There are five mods for the challenges so we each take two months, and have unchallenges for July and December.

I’m going to have to try this. I love the idea of a fall soap with this technique!Thanks!
You were very close with the guess - it's 5 gear ties in first, then pour black, spoon white on very gently for the uneven landscape, then the white with shavings mixed in, and finally pulling the ties up one at a time through the whole lot.
Things I would do differently next time are: make a more concentrated effort to go in at the bottom and out halfway up for the trunk parts, and have a more strongly contrasting set of shavings to make shadows in the blossom canopy. I did a sort of AWP technique there but it didn't really show up in the final cut.
Be still my heart. How old is that adorable baby goat? So cute!Well done to all the entrants, and the winners! And thank you to szaza for such a great challenge. I have really enjoyed seeing the variety of different techniques and the outcomes, it really impressed me. Massive props to Tara for her abstract tree that I never would have even thought of.
I've loved this challenge and had lots of ideas to participate, sadly these little buggers are talking up all my time and goat milk at the moment

I was thinking the same thing. @Tara_H made a stunning soap. I wonder how many trees might pop up in this month's Un-Challenge.Me, too! Let’s do it together!
Look what you started, @Tara_H.
