[Primrose]

Amd fantastic idea using a mica oil line amongst the stripes!! Might have to try that myself

View attachment 39161 View attachment 39162 This was my first attempt. I absolutely love the look of the side of the loaf. Now wondering if I can do that in a bar lol

Those are so pretty!

The failures, not counting the soap on a stick. Trace was too thick on one, and the second one had too much white for me.

I respectfully disagree about your “too much white” assessment. I love the contrast. Very nice work.

Voting this month is going to be HARD!!! So many amazing entries. Great job everyone!

The husband says the same thing lol. Thank you

I love all the entries so far! I was a bit hesitant to sign up, but decided I should. Wasn't planning on soaping, but it's been so long I just had to get my soaping gear out again! When I was choosing the design I thought I might as well try the current challenge. I HP'd which made it quite interesting, I'm not entirely sure the soap will actually look like a tiger stripe, but at least I tried[emoji854]

I look at them, and find something wrong, so I just keep trying. It gets really bad if I have this certain look I want and I am not accomplishing it. This soap was one of those times. I wanted thinner lines but something kept happening. The soap on a stick, grabbing the wrong recipe with a substantial water discount, talking on the phone* and going crazy with the white, etc. So when I say "fail" its more about failure to accomplish what I have pictured in my head, than real failure. Not showing the soap on a stick one... now that was a failure. The funny thing is I used a scent recommended by some of the long time members here, but forgot the warning given along with the recommendation. I was laughing like a loon when I found my notes "DeeAnna and Shari say it accelerates, so have the mold ready, but its a great FO for men" Let it be known that the husband has the soap on a stick on his cure pile, and cant wait to use it. The scent is Cracklin Birch by NG. So lovely, but a bit complicated lol. <3

*The phone was on speaker and it was a call I could not postpone. Dont want the safety police after me!

 

[Kari Howie]

Those are so pretty!

Wow! Those are spectacular!

I hear ya on that one. I have many (most) of those!!

Agreed! Everyone did an amazing job!!!

 

[earlene]

And there's still 2 more days to enter! Such gorgeous entries already. I expect there will be more. I am still working on attempts to improve on mine.

 

[KristaY]

There are SO MANY beautiful tiger stripes! I almost didn't post mine because I'm so unhappy with it but decided, what the heck. Voting is going to be so TOUGH! Well done, everyone!

 

[Primrose]

KristaY I think your soap looks great with the discolouration even though it wasnt what you planned!

 

[KiwiMoose]

@KristaY - until I read your reasoning fully I wondered why you were so upset. I LOVE the darker colours. But I fully appreciate that you needed pastels for this particular soap.
Very nice entry though!

 

[KristaY]

Thank you Primrose! But it's for a baby girl shower which is why I'm so annoyed, lol. Your hint of blue is honestly a stroke of genius. It would have been great without it but that just made it pop off the screen. Well done!

 

[KristaY]

Coming from you, KiwiMoose, that's high praise indeed! Your purple and black is spectacular. Honestly, I keep looking at it and wonder why I haven't thought of doing the same before. I just might steal your color combo for a future soap!
