3. Traderbren- I'm always in for a reason to make soap.

5. dibbles - I'm in!
6. coffeetime- needs an assistant to get this in. Should I hold this addition for a nice ransom?
7. Mrs Spaceship - Yay, I get to break in my new tall & skinny mold!
8. newbie- oh crud. Drop swirls are not so easy for me.
9. BlackDog - because I'm not through punishing myself with swirls just yet!
10. Commoncenz - because despite my name, when it comes to these challenges, I'm clearly lacking common sense
11. MissChief - because I just don't have enough soap yet

13. Dharlee - is this right? lol

 

[Dharlee]

Also, I am a little bit confused. I thought three colors were allowed total? It looked like the ItPS was more like 5 total (counting the uncolored base)? Thanks! I am so excited even if I screw it up lol.

I totally messed up the typing compared to the video! Good catch! I fixed it...Sorry. I had a heck of a time uploading. I was panicking and up til 3 am (thank goodness for the time falling back an hr) and slept less than 5 hrs and was uploading yet again. Files wouldn't upload for hrs, literally. If anyone catches anything else please bring it to my attention asap and I'll clarify or correct it.

The itp: three colors total including the base. So you may or may not color the base, and then you may add up to *two* colors in the pot for an itp. I left mine uncolored and added blue only.
You can color the base, add up to two into the pot, swirl it and pour.
You can use plain base, add up to two into the pot, swirl it and pour.
You can pour plain/solid color only.


Then drop swirl 2 colors minimum and skewer. You may drop as many as you wish over 2.

Every time I scroll past this thread, I think it says "Soap Challenge: Drop and Swear". That might be my technique.
