This is Soap Chellenge, baby! No jokes...

Tall & Skinny Shimmy Challenge Club.

This Soap Challenge is my first one, so it's very exciting! Even at night in my dreams I made this soap. And this challenge was an actual challenge. Tall & Skinny Shimmy technique turned out to be one of the most complex techniques of all I have ever tried.

Unfortunately, I did not record the process of creating this soap because I was too passionate about the process and forgot about recording. To this point, I've already lost count of unsuccessful and unsatisfactory attempts. There were many of them — I can think of 10. But that's life, and I had a lot of fun! The soap was unwilling to behave like Tatiana Serko's soap. It wanted to be something different every time.

So the soap, which I put on Soap Challenge is "Lavender Blues" 

This soap was colored only with two micas: Purple Vibrance  and  Neutral Gray Micas in different shades (from Nurture Soap). And of course, the magical Lavender smell is from French lavender essential oil (from Aroma Zone.com).

And here are results of some more attempts, which were not included in the Soap Chellenge, but I think the results are worthy of being published.

I also want to thank Amy Warden for the opportunity to participate in this challenge, and Tatiana Serko for her great teacher talent and being open to sharing her professional secrets!
