SMF January 2022 Challenge - There's No Place Like Home

[Microchick]

This rule was put in place by the SMF admins. I think it was to prevent people from joining for the sole purpose of joining only to participate/vote in the challenges. But @MellonFriend is correct - it looks like you had reached to 50 post requirement in December, so you can join in this challenge if you would like!

Doing my happy dance!! Thanx for the explanation.
Now for a REALLY stupid question. How to copy/paste??
Seriously computer illiterate.

There are no stupid questions. Are you using a computer or a phone/tablet?

Select the text in the sign up list. An option to 'copy' will pop up. Touch 'copy' and then, touch and hold your finger in a new reply box until the 'paste' option appears. Select that and the list should copy - add your name to the list and post your reply.

I know I'm not good with this kind of stuff, and even worse at explaining it. If you have problems, let me know here or in a PM and I'll do it for you. If anyone else can explain it better, please do!

Yes - only one entry Also, be sure not to post pictures of the soap you want to enter anywhere before it is posted on the entry thread.

I am looking for the entry thread? Found it!

I just wanted to pop in and say that due to recent health issues, I didn't have time to make the soap I had planned. I was going to take another stab at the OPW technique, with colors from the Brazilian flag. I may still do it when I am up and at it again, but I lament not being able to have made it for this challenge. That being said, I can't wait to see everyone's inspirations and final results!

@linne1gi I LOVE your alligator!!! Is it a column mold? Could you please share where you found it if you don't mind?

 

[MellonFriend]

@Microchick entry thread closes on Friday, so be sure to enter before that date if you want to be part of this challenge.

I won't be able to join either as I ran out of time after returning home this week after a while. I still plan to do the soap at some point, even if it isn't the same if I'm not participating in the challenge. But at least that means I won't have to wait any longer to look at the entries thread as usual it's so interesting to see what everyone else has come up with.

 

[Misschief]

I intend to make my challenge soap but unfortunately it won't be in time. I've been struggling a bit lately and have just not had the inspiration or desire to do much of anything, including making soap.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

I finished my second soap last night. I’m going to cut it today and make a decision on which one to enter.

 

[linne1gi]

@linne1gi I LOVE your alligator!!! Is it a column mold? Could you please share where you found it if you don't mind?

No, it's not a column mold. It's a disc which I purchased from Lisa Cunningham of I Dream In Soap - I also bought (in the past) her extruder (it's a giant extruder) - I love it - I have several interesting discs for my extruder.

[Heather McClain]

This is the first soap I made for the challenge and then made a second soap and decided to enter that one instead. I live in Bradley County Arkansas where we are famous for our tomatoes. This soap contains real tomatoes grown right here in Bradley County and processed by my mother in law who has lived here over 65 years. It’s fragrance free. It also contains a small amount of commercially prepared tomato powder. It does have a light tomato fragrance even though no fragrance was added. I’m excited to use this one!!
