Hi! It has been a while and honestly, we have missed being here. It was spring break in our area, and Soap Lily had to take a break so Kathy and Alison could keep up with all of the activities that we've had going on with our families.
Kathy had her grandchildren for 12 days of fun and play and parties. Alison went on a tour group field trip with her daughter to NYC and Washington DC. We seriously had a great spring break!
It has been wonderful and amazing and fun, but we are glad to be back with the activity we have on deck today.
This one is in video form, so we won't say very much here except that this is our entry in the Great Cakes Soapworks Soap Challenge for April. This month is another new technique for us - the spinning swirl. SO FUN!!
We usually try these new techniques several times before we pick one to enter in the challenge, but we like this one so much, that we are going with our first product. In fact, we like the spin swirl so much that we are already planning our next soap with this design (different colors and fragrance though).
We will post pictures below in case you just want to look without watching the video, but we hope you will watch - and enjoy.
We cut 6 of the bars in half so you can see the swirls inside, and we left 12 bars whole. These are some big bars of soap!
This soap will be ready to use on May 25. You won't believe how delicious it smells!
PS -April 17, 2015
Ok we couldn't stand it and went ahead and cut all 18 bars in half horizontally.
WOW, WOW, WOW!
The colors are amazing, and the patterns are, well......psychedelic for sure.
We love the spinning swirl technique!
Here are pictures of the other half of the batch!
Each and every one is totally different from the others!
Love, love, love the picture of them all lined up. Too beautiful for words!! You really nailed this technique. Can't wait to see you use it again!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet! We can't wait to do this one again!
DeleteThis is fabulous and it is totally psychedelic! Every bar is so unique. Absolutely brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThank you Frances, we had such fun making it & we both got to use our favorite colors + we loved this fun technique, thank you!
DeleteThat is some crazy cool looking soap! Every bar is so unique - and gorgeous! Glad you girls had such a great Spring Break, but it's nice to have you back too. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy, this was such a great challenge to come back to after spring break! We both loved doing it and plan on using the technique in the future. Thank you again for all the time and effort you put in every month on the Challenges, it goes without saying (even though I am saying it) that we ALL appreciate it!
DeleteI love the colors! Bright and bold! And so many different looks.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cris, we went a little crazy with the colors but had such fun doing this one, appreciate your comment!
DeleteYour colors are soooo groovy! I adore the green with the purple, and your saturated colors can't help but make me happy!
ReplyDeleteFor sure Claudia, this one makes us happy! We almost want to break out in the Happy song! Thank you for commenting, we appreciate it.
DeleteSo beautiful, love the color combinations and that one that looks like a tulip to me (you said blossom) amazing, love how you girls work.
ReplyDeleteWow! Your colors are really stunning! You did such an amazing job!!!!
ReplyDeleteSha-Zam Man! Well done and Bravo! Ladies--how'd you do it? I tried three times and couldn't keep my rainbows swirling--raw soap too thick too quick. And Wow! Where'd ya get those colors girls? My hat's off to you both. Thanks for sharing, Leela.
