SMF Soap Challenges ... across the years

[DeeAnna]

Yes, I'm aware SaltedFig isn't an active member anymore. I still think it's important to recognize SaltedFig's contribution in starting this thread and taking the time to document 3 1/2 years of these challenges.

@Mobjack Bay - somehow I missed these two, but they are both beyond beautiful!

I must dig up my non-challenge entry from January 2019 - it appears to have been missed off this list. I remember because I won!

I just looked up the 2019 challenge you won... Never saw it as I wasn’t a member back then...absolutely fabulous!

Your dot soaps were fantastic! OMG, those two soaps I made took me like 8 hours each because it was before I had the hang of controlling trace and using accelerating FOs.

There are some truly gifted artists here and I love seeing these challenge pictures! Well done to all!

True your photo was not in this post: SMF Soap Challenges ... across the years but the link includes your photo. If you look back at previous posts on that same page (page 1 of this thread), you'll notice that SaltedFig had not included photos from each winning entry thread for each month. Only later did we start including more links to winning photos.
I am pretty sure that SaltedFig had no intention to slight anyone. Her main goal was to create a thread with links to all previous Challenges that we as Hostesses could keep up-to-date along the way so that those Challenges and Entry threads could be easily found. In the past, finding them was more difficult.

Oh no - I wasn't thinking badly of Salted Fig in any way. She has done an amazing job in collating everything here for us. Anyway - I just looked back and yes, you are right, I found the link to the Dotty challenge in post #18. I never knew it was there until now! Thank you Earlene.
