On to week 2 of the GreatCakesSoapWorks 2013 Spring Soaping Challenge. What a wonderful group of soapers completed week 1, such talent and beautiful soaps! Soapsporn for the summer to mull over yeah! Thank you Amy Warden , thank you so much for the nudge and for inspiring a search in the tool cabinet once again. Oh and I have an idea for another challenge Amy if you need one!
It took me almost a week to dream up what I would attempt for my challenge as most of my supplies are in storage right now as we have listed our home for sale. Here is the Moon and the Stars with the Sand and the Surf. Four elements that move me and give me great joy. Like many of the 2013 challenge community I too went with a know accelerating fragrance because it smells so great and doesn't discolor! You can see the pockets where the flow wasn't!
YES I will do this one again I really like it even though it is a rough go this time! I am so looking forward to seeing what others imaginations came up with. Oh and thank you to a most favorite soaptician for inspiring this beginner. Happy Saturday everyone! ~~Pam Mella~~

These soaps didn't follow the rules exactly. Rather that in the pot
swirls I did in the cup swirls with inclusions and micas then poured in
sections. The moon section has mica lines, the star section has star
inclusions with mica, the sea has mica streaks and the sand has ground
nut hulls and mica. It was a very messy production but with each new
challenge new lessons are learned. And I had fun messing things up!
