August Soap Challenge - Linear Mantra Marbles Swirl

It seems like time is definitely flying by. How can it be time for us to try another technique in the Great Cakes Soap Challenge put on by +Amy Warden? Time makes no difference to us; we jumped in and tried another fun challenge!

The title on this challenge is a mouthful - linear mantra marbles swirl....lots of different techniques rolled into into one soap, or in our case two.  We created two different soaps, and then had to choose which one we liked best!  Our choice, and the one we submitted, was what we called the Beachside Swirl because we used a combination of blues (ocean) and a light brown (sand).  The soap is beautiful, but we did have a few problems with it which you can see on the video.

We have documented the making of our entry soap in the video below.




The other soap is a lovely combination of colors which we will show you here.


Pretty, isn't it?

If you just want to see the final shots of the soap, please see them below.










This soap will cure for six weeks and then it will be ready to use.

    1. Thank you Janelle, we totally freaked when the "sand" was so stiff, just goes to show you - you never know what's going to happen, bottom line, we had fun!
