SMF July Challenge - Clyde Slide

[jules92207]

Those are some fun looking soaps!

 

[Stacyspy]

Can I still sign up?

 

[Steve85569]

First attempt is out of the mold but will not be ready to cut until Monday.
I used a "slow" recipe on purpose so I had time to wait on thickening.... and wait and wait so it'll probably be ready to cut on the third day.

Sign up Stacyspy!
Welcome to the challenge!

1. Earlene - I haven't done this one yet, so something new to learn.

2. Misschief - I have the next week off... I'm IN!

3. IrishLass - I've got some spare time, so I'm IN, too! (I'm excited- this will be my first challenge!)

4. TeresaT - excellent! My first one has a major oil slick, but I'm excited to do a second. Without the oil slick, though!!

5. BattleGnome - hopefully I can find the time, I've got a busy month

6. LisaAnne, fun!

7. Cindy2428 - I'm going to be fortunate enough to meet Clyde at SoapCon-I have to try this!

8. dibbles - Clyde Slide - yipee!

9. BlackDog - fun! Sonya that green color is fantastic - do you mind if I ask what it is?

10.nikkisessence - looking forward to trying

11. Arimara - I'd love to give this a try, though it would be poor timing on my part.

12. TheDragonGirl - This looks like fun, I hope I've understood how to do it right

13. CmZaha - I am thinking I will have time so I am in. Hopefully

14. SunWolf - Love Clyde...neat guy!

16. Guspuppy - love the Clyde Slide!

17. jules92207 - I've been doing the clyde slide and didn't even know it! Can't wait!

18. Soapswirl - I've been meaning to try this technique for a while so this gives me a good excuse!

19. green soap - I heard I am getting another color, so it will be nice to try it out here. Never achieved an ITP swirl, this seems simpler.

20. KristaY - I'm excited to give this one a go!

21. Judiraz- Haven't done a Slide in awhile.

22. Saponista - I am really bad at this, but I will give it another shot!

23. Rusti - I'm old enough to play now, right? I think I can do this one!

24. Niclycha. ..I should definitely be able to do this one.

25. Rowan - Can't wait to give this a go.

26. Artemis - Lye: check. Oils: check. Distilled water: check. Colors: check. We are go for soap.

27. Steve85569 - Looks like I might have time for an attempt before the blackberries hit. Train wreck in progress!!

28. Stacyspy - What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Arimara]

My auntie's up so I may not make soap this week. *sigh*

You could alway teach Auntie to make soap.:think:

 

[jules92207]

I made three more attempts last night. I'm hopeful about one of them. The first I made last night moved way too fast and became a plop swirl. The last I was going for an Ariel themed soap so I placed a bottom layer before my clyde, it looks like it pushed my bottom layer up the sides so that should be interesting...

 

[Arimara]

You could alway teach Auntie to make soap.:think:

No way.

 

[queennikki]

I can't wait to see everyone's entries. This is such a cool technique!

 

[Sonya-m]

Rusti - you totally nailed the technique! Your feathering is fab!!

 

[queennikki]

Rusti- The colors you chose are beautiful together, it turned out awesome, a great entry!

 

[earlene]

Rusti yours is really pretty. Well done.

Artemis, I tried one with the same colors and Candy Cane FO. Thought it would be a nice Christmas soap, but haven't cut it yet. I don't think it will come out as well because I tried it with M&P and am not experienced doing swirls in M&P.

So next attempt will probably be a simple lard & CO soap because I am not at home and found a 16 ounce container of lard at Walmart. Thought it would be easy, cheap & slow to trace. Plus I can leave it here to cure a bit while I go to NY. I'll get it later or leave it for my son after granddaughter & I return.

 

[queennikki]

Misscheif- your soap turned out really cool, you definitely nailed a tropical look!

 

[Saponista]

I'm sorry guys, I just haven't had chance to give this one a go.

 

[Rusti]

Aw, thanks guys!

 

[dibbles]

I posted my entry, so here are pictures of my other tries. My first try is fragranced with Mango Cilantro (WSP), and turned out pretty well, the second try is fragranced with Snow Witch (MO) and is okay, the third try is fragranced with a blend of Mandarin Myrrh and Yuzu (BB) with no slide to be found.

 

[Sonya-m]

Awesome job (as usual!) dibbles!! Love your entry too

 

[jules92207]

Wow, I am loving everyone's entries so far! Rusti totally nailed it, dibbles I love your soap, and misschief looks like you captured a goddess in the middle of the soap - amazing!

 

[jules92207]

Here's my other attempts, I got some feathering but I wasn't in love with them...

The pink is grapefruit bellini, the green is cucumber mint.

 

[dibbles]

I saw that goddess too in Misschief's entry. Agreed, I love the entries so far.
