Teach Soap

I decided that the best soap challenge is the one you give yourself! Mine was to do a soap with a LOT of colours! So I decided to do an 8 colour soap with energy FO. LOVE that scent! I had planned to do an 8 colour spoon swirl but decided instead to do an 8 colour faux funnel pour and maybe enter pictures of the final product in Amy Warden's soap challenge (week 6 is faux funnel pour, maybe where my brain got the idea). Figured I'd post a few pics of my colours and the just poured loaf. I do this pour differently than most folks I've seen on youtube. I spoon the colours in rather than pouring them. For 2 reasons; one, I find it more precise, and two I can recycle my mixing cups and don't have to wash anything extra LOL I'm so lazy!

The colour cups:





My 8 colours were: coral reef blue mica, neon green pigment, lime green (ultra violet blue, fizzy lemonaid and neon green pigments mixed), bright purple (ultraviolet blue and fired up fuchsia mixed), ultraviolet blue, electric bubblegum, tangerine wow, and fizzy lemonaid.

Here is the freshly poured loaf, right now it is asleep under a towel.


And with the left over soap I made 5 little cubes of soap with the exact same "pour" order as the loaf, and 1 cube of whatever was left. These have rainbow jojoba sprinkles on them. Guest rainbow bars!

that's fantastic, can't wait to see it cut!

Cool!! Makes me think we should start our own little forum soap challenge hehe. Do it once a month or something! Sounds like so much fun to all do the same thing and see how each comes up different!

Wow! Your loaf looks like my eyes in the morning! That's a lot of colors. I'll bet it's going to look good when it's cut.

Pretty colors! Can't wait to see the cut loaf!

I think a challenge thread would be fun! I'd participate.

I think we had\have one going with the mothers day soaps.... but the thread got buried. Maybe one of the administrators could lock in the thread for you so it stays near the top?

Greatcakesoap is Amy Warden's youtube handle. She does an example of each weeks' challenge and has a link to her blog where the outline is posted.
