That sounds like so much fun

I sent in my signup this morning though I haven't heard if my fragrance choice is okay yet.

Woo hoo! I started on my Ginger Ale swap soap today.

After researching ginger ale on Pinterest and Tumblr for inspiration, I decided on green & white/silver as the colors. I've wanted to use a 18-bar slab mold I've had for a while, so I decided to use it for the this soap - trying embeds with it to use a new technique.

I made the embed batch today. I used the BB 10" silicone loaf mold using my regular recipe with pearlescent mica, silver & iridescent glitter. I'm planning on cutting it thinly to make large pencil curls. The batter looked so amazing. I am crossing my fingers that it's anywhere as near beautiful at cut/cure.

While I was researching, I also came across a homemade ginger ale recipe - so I walked to the grocery & made some homemade ginger ale yesterday afternoon. Yum!

I'm having a ton of fun with this swap!

Wow, robert, that soap sounds like it's going to be beautiful! Pics when you cut, please?

I'm waiting (impatiently!) for my FO and colors to get here so I can make my contribution! I'm using the cranberry pomegranate FO, so I'm planning to do an ITP swirl with varying shades of pink and red, to match the FO. Or my other thought is to a do a layer soap and have it fade from light pink to dark red. We'll see what sounds best when I have everything!

Cranberry pomegranate sounds so yummy. I've never soaped it. Isn't it awesome to fire up the creative instincts with a swap? Half the time I end up with something completely different than I was trying for - but it's always a fun time!
