Soap "The universe in the jewelry box"

Straight Line Design for December Soap Challenge club.

"The Universe in the jewelry box" soap or goodbye Soap Challenge Club!

At first, it was quite difficult to decide on this design because it was almost impossible to come up with something new with just straight lines. I decided to make two batches from the same colors. I sat down with some paper, pencils, and cup of tea and eventually came up with this:

Then I built a foam board mold so I could flip it from side to side and just a "slim and tall" mold.

I will be honest it took a while to make the layers. Mostly because I have a baby who requires most of my time. 

Five days later i cut it and found a tiny Universe inside. :) 

And what came out of my second batch:

The last two months I have had so much fun participating in the soap challenge and would like to say, "Thank you, Amy Warden, for organizing the soap challenge. Good luck to you!".

Rainbow Zebra Soap for November Soap Challenge

Hi guys! This is my entry for Dirty Fluid Pour Soap Challenge.
I had opportunity to jump into it just the night before deadline... So I had just one adventurous attempt.
Here it is:

My inspiration was idea of rainbow colored zebra pattern and I used black, white, and rainbow colors in my soap:

I chose the recipe that I use quit often: 20% Coconut oil, 30% Lard, 20% Palm oil, 15% Safflower oil, 15% Avocado oil, 25% water, 3% citric acid, Yuzu Cybilla fragrance. Next, it was some preparations for pouring. Beside different sized tubes I decided add some color accents with straws. Had to make layer of plasticine to keep all this formation together.

Smallest tubes was poured with all range of rainbow colors. Big ones with black, white, and some rainbow leftovers. And straws was filled just with contrast colors. After pouring was done:

After removing big tubes:

Then smaller tubes was out:

All done:

How it was after I moved the slab form from different angles:

And more pictures after final cut. And I wish to have more time for few more attempts in this technique:
