I never can work out if white is a colour or not.
Your soap is beautiful!

Ooo, I just noticed that. Did I mess up? I can delete my entry. I did use TD to whiten the white part but is that "two colors"? I think I made a mistake.

White and purple is completely fine

Tbh honest I probably didn't need to put that in the rules did I? Can't really achieve a spin swirl with 1 colour anyway!!

I posted my entry already, so I'll post another batch here - this was my second try. I like it fine; just liked the colors in the entry soap better. This one is scented with BB Crisp Anjou Pear. I *love* this fragrance. Super fresh!

 

[KristaY]

Beautiful soap and I love the colors, BlackDog! Great job!!!

I'm having trouble deciding on attempt #2 or 3 for my entry soap. I'll post up in the next day or two. Just need to sit down with Jan at the big computer and let her decide.

Nice having a DW that'll help like that!

The ones posted up so far are really nice! I'll post mine anyway.:neutral:

Nice to have a hard decision!

I found this from Shieh Design Studios. Instead of doing the jerky swirl, she took her entire mold and circled it on the countertop to get a little bit of a different spin. When I did my dowel-in-the-corner spin, the results was somewhat similar. Love the thinking outside the box!

Well, i have an entry - just posted it a few minutes ago. The whole house smells of lavender mixed with Nag Champa, because yesterday I made 12 bars of Nag Champa in my wave molds. I do love soaping and all those lovely aromas throughout the house. I'm not even going to put away my soaping things. I just have to decide my next soap.
I'm thinking mango papaya FO, or Egyptian Musk which smells like a guy scent, or Amber which I love as well. I want to used this 9 bar slab mold again. This time I'll oil it. It took forever and great effort to get those soaps out! I'll also line the mold even though it has a silicone liner. It was the hard silicone liner that gave me the most problem. I finally relented and used the thinnest, large, sharpest knife I have to remove it. Don't want to go through that again!

 

[dillsandwitch]

Oh man yet another month has gone by and i find myself not having any attempts made damn busy life.....

 

[Steve85569]

Here's the one we decided was just not quite enough contrast. But it's a nice Easter soap.
Somehow I always get the feeling I should have gone the other way once I make the post .:-?

Steve those are gorgeous! Really soft and pretty!

Here are my failed attempts
Everyone's entries look grand. Makes a newbie like me feel pretty out of her depth (but it's all about giving it a shot right?)

I just wanted to say a great big thankyou Sonya for the challenge. It was such fun, I'm definetely going to practice this again. I've definitely got a lot to learn, particularly about pouring. I also used a rectangular mould and found I couldn't get a circular swirl, just an elongated swirl. It wouldn't go round the corner or round the bend or maybe that's just me! Some of the cut bars look scarily like gynae scans but I'm sure one looks like a cat. I absolutely love everyone's entries on the challenge thread. Mintle, your colours and swirl are really gorgeous!

 

[MySoapyHeart]

Wow, great entries, people, so many cool patterns and colors to look at! *thumbs up*
This was (also) a really cool challenge.
