Oh wow! Gorgeous entries so far! I'm hoping to be able to make some soap tonight, though I still don't have quite a clear idea about what I want to try. I've got my color palette and scent, though.
It's off to a great start! I never got to stage 2. I only have a day, then I'm traveling for Thanksgiving! Uh oh, I better do it tomorrow...

Well, I made an attempt. Will see how it turns out tomorrow. If nothing else, it smells good.

Cerelife, how did you do that?

Wow Cerelife! When I first looked at your entry, I saw a skull-like profile then as I stared a little more, I saw the top hat skeleton image. Not sure how you did it but your voodoo soap has some black magic!

Lovely Dibbles!
Wow. Incredible soaps!
I am 2 parts into my creation ... and have to skip 3 days, so it's going to be tight for me (again).

I almost forgot about this. I made one bar, but I am unsure to post.

Post it! :wink:
I'm about to cut and post mine, though I'm sure it doesn't look all that great compared to what's already been entered.
ETA: GRRRRRR!!! Trying to upload pics of my entry and keep getting an error message. My pic is in the right format, it's not too big, I dunno what the problem is.

errr At first I thought it was pretty, but after seeing what is posted, not as much. 
Is one MP bar, but I did work a lot on it. It was quite tricky to make.

Once I decided on Voodoo as my entry, I ordered a custom rubber stamp of Baron Samedi. But it was extremely detailed! I just kept planing my soaps to get at least one of them smooth enough for a good transfer of the image in gold mica on the front of the bar

Same. I took some inspiration from Kandinsky's Bauhaus period, which overlaps the twenties, particularly Several Circles, used less frenetic colors, and tried to capture the feeling with a freehand poured circular soap with not quite concentric rings in deeper hues.
It really didn't work out. It's OK as a guest soap, though, if you aren't particular.
This isn't cleaned up, but...no way would I enter this. It's crap.

I think I'm going to do a second batch of the soap I made for the challenge, just with a slightly different look. If it turns out prettier than my entry I may switch them out, but I'm reasonably happy with my entry. I've already got family eyeing this soap though, and I've had to tell two people "No, you can't have any of this yet. It's not ready."

Cutting circular soap is really difficult. I see you've succeeded with a few but you've only shown the ones that didn't work.
We are so hard on ourselves. Soap making is science, art and craft all together and it's very difficult to get them to work all together. You've tried new trchniques and colours all at once. You've done really well. My first circular soap (no colour) had holes on the sides because it was too thick to pour.
At the very least your soap is different and it looks like it's nice soap. One man's "blah" is another's "wow that's gorgeous"!
I really like the first full soap on the left.
