SMF June 2020 Un-Challenge - Half & Half

[artemis]

I tucked my soap in for the night. The half-and-half doesn't look even after I swirled it. Well, you'll see what I mean tomorrow.

Its going to be hard to see well since my walls are white and I have only two colors for the base, black and white lol but here is my Un-entry.

It was a challenge to get the design in HP but I cut a flap off a cardboard box and wrapped it in press and seal then creased it, poured the black (Charcoal) pressed the cardboard V down into it and let it set then today made the Coconut Milk White layer, pulled out the cardboard and poured it. Each layer the same ounces of batter. Then sprinkled the top with white and black Jojoba beads and glitter. Scented with Little Black Dress

Very cool!

So cute @msunnerstood

edit: I'm sorry msunnerstood - I credited the wrong person for your soap. I have fixed that. What you do with HP is always amazing to me, and this one is no exception!

Wow.. I'm impressed @msunnerstood! Didn't think such a smooth line was possible with HP. Great job

I love it. It’s quite a job you did with the design. Very impressive.

Thank you, the hardest part was keeping the cardboard down in the soap because the batter was heavier than the cardboard and I was afraid it was going to keep pushing up. I didn't have anything heavy the exact length of the mold so I wound up using large rubber bands on each side to hold it down.

Love this! I didn't know hp could look so smooth! Well done

Here is mine. Scented with Afternoon Tea from Nurture. The tan has a little cocoa powder. The cream has kaolin clay. I used a strong Earl Grey tea as my water, which slightly colored the batter. Each cavity in the mold got half cream and half tan, but my swirling made it hard to see both colors. I was pleased when I planed it to reveal the swirl inside. It pretty much matches what I had in my head.

Afternoon Tea has become a sort of special treat for myself.

I love your soap the idea is out of this world. Also love the tea set. Will own a million tea sets if I could.

Holy carp! This is HP??!!!! It's stunning. and so smooth. I'm in love and a tiny bit jealous of your HP skills. (OK alot jealous.)

 

[artemis]

Also love the tea set. Will own a million tea sets if I could.

Thanks!

I got my pick of my grandmother's various cups. I have 8 total, and none of them match each other. Each of my kids has their own cup and enjoy having tea in their special cup.

I agree...very cute! I love Afternoon Tea. It’s one of the first FOs I ordered and it’s a keeper. Just a really nice clean light scent.

Adorable...and one of my favorite scents.
