September Challenge- Ribbon Pour

[kchaystack]

I doubt I will have an entry this month. I got to make 2 attempts. The first one is bad. Muddy and just blah. the second is better, but I forgot to take pics of the pouring container... Oh well. At least I got to make soap.

Unfortunately, I won't have an entry this month.....best laid plans and all that. :twisted: Too many things got in the way for me to be able to make any batches of soap at all, challenge or no challenge. I really like the looks one can get from this pour, though, so I will definitely be trying it out in the next batch of soap I make.

I didn't make the deadline for a second try, either.

Here's my first attempt - way too thick and awful colour choices! Such a shame because the FO smells amazing - Thai Sticky Rice from Mad Oils.

 

[Guspuppy]

I actually kinda like those colors Sonya!

ETA: I also see a clown head in your cut bar in the entry thread..... eeek!!!
(half the face on each side of the cut)

I voted. I had to go back to the entry thread to see some of the finished soaps to judge the cut bar result.
Really good job on what I found a difficult challenge.

 

[newbie]

I had to pick one picture so I chose whichever one I thought showed the ribbon effect the best.

 

[earlene]

Again a difficult choice. Every one of them was beautifully done.

 

[Sonya-m]

Voted! That was tough! Well done everyone that entered.

Definitely a technique I will be trying again.

You did a great job. I just found it difficult judging this time and needed to see them all again. Great challenge. I wouldn't have tried it otherwise and I like it.

I thought I had finally learnt to identify emulsification but no such luck. Tried another tough technique to no avail. I think I'll have to take Shea butter out of my mix for slow recipes. Even at 10% and soaping cold (except for the Shea) it seems to speed trace.

Great entries everyone! This was a fun challenge, newbie - thanks for bringing it to us.

Did not get to make my entry after all. My uncle had a heart attack last week. He is my mom's twin and only living brother (her youngest brothers died when they were 17 & 19 in a car accident) so I have been with mom at the hospital. Mom and uncle will be staying at my house for a few days before heading to my mom's house. But he made it through everything which is the good thing. I am off to look at entries and vote!

 

[IrishLass]

Oh, I'm so glad he made it through, Amd! That's very good news! Praying for full recovery!

I loved looking at everyone's entries! It really brightened up my day.

I wish I could have entered, but I've been dealing with a family medical emergency for last few weeks... Sorry I haven't been around much aside from a little lurking - haven't really felt up to posting. Anyways, thanks for giving me so many pretty soaps to admire.

 

[dibbles]

Oh Snappy, I do hope everything is ok now.

amd, I'm glad your uncle is doing well, and all good thoughts for continued improvement.

Well done you five another fantastic challenge with amazing entries!!

 

[penelopejane]

Wow! I was just writing my first soaping anniversary post and saw I came second in the challenge. What a fantastic soaping anniversary present. I am over the moon happy. Thank you very much everyone.

Congratulations to Sonya-m, Earlene, GusPuppy and Sunwolf and to everyone who entered a soap picture. Thank you Newby for your great videos!
