All so beautiful! Now I wish I could play hooky from work and make soap today instead LOL 
How the heck did I miss a thread full of beautiful soaps for over a year?!? I especially love, love, love the blue pointy layer soap. 
Wow so Nice!
Energetic Blacksmith
I don't usually name my soaps, but that just popped into my head as I began this post
This batch is made using @earlene's blacksmith soap recipe and is fragranced with Energy from Bramble Berry. I dumped in some charcoal for color and textured the top with a fork. Not pictured: partial gel that left a discolored spot in the center of each bar. (You can see this a little on the top one.)

These three batches were made for a friend I first met on an airplane. She wanted some soap to give as Christmas gifts. I've sold soap to family and friends, but this was my first out-of-state order.
Cactus Flower
This batch was inspired by @Mobjack Bay's entry in the May 2021 challenge, but I used micas instead of natural colorants. I also eliminated the black and added white on the top and bottom. I don't think I've made a OPW since that challenge and was reminded of what a fun design it is.
Serenity
A new color scheme for the basic layer/mica line/ITP swirl design that I've done multiple times before. I'm including a bonus picture of the tops because they looked so gorgeously glossy after I steamed them
Sleigh Ride
I'm still questioning whether I should have used a more typical Christmas palette for this batch. Is it too reminiscent of the sea? In real life, the blues aren't quite as vivid as they look in this photo. I think the batch must have overheated a bit when gelling, which resulted in some interesting glycerin rivers in the bars. I tried a silver mica line for something different.

Those soaps are all super pretty! If you label the last one Christmas, no one will think twice. The colors are gorgeous.
It's been aeons since I posted more soap pics here. So...here comes a photo dump! Here are some batches from the past year. I listed the fragrance with each batch; all are from Bramble Berry.
Anjou Pear
(I think this fragrance smells like our local Hobby Lobby!)
Spearmint Eucalyptus
Believe it or not, I used only two colors for this batch. The hanger swirl created an extra shade of green where the teal and white combined.
Coconut Mango / Pink Grapefruit
(This fragrance combo is so yummy and fruity!)
Night Violet Sweet Nectar & Hibiscus
Oops, I mislabeled this soap in my original post. Colors are showing up extra-vivid on this picture.
Bali Breeze
Gardenia Peach
Serenity
Tobacco & Bay Leaf
Anjou Pear
