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: 

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!
