Teardrop Soap - Soap Challenge Club (May 2016 entry)






Hi, everyone,

I’m glad I’m in Soap Challenge Club again this month, this is my fifth challenge and first time doing Teardrop technique. This is my first time I showed myself to myself as a real Capricornus))) as I was making this technique with completely inappropriate recipe. I tested one for being my first soap I would like to sell, so I saw it everywhere)) After some 4 attempts with this hard and really fast recipe I gave up)) and here are all my soaps:





This first soap could be called a Wi Fi Soap or Pregnancy Ultrasound Soap)) depending on the point of view.
I was testing not only the recipe but my new mold and titanium dioxide (and tried to disperse it in glycerin cha-cha))

After cut:

 After clean up:




The second one is a Tropical Volcano Soap as this doesn’t even pretend to be a tear))

After pour: 


After cut:

 
 
After clean up:




This third one was testing one again, I tested my abilities to make soap in hand and black Australian clay. Australian clay was fine, my abilities were not))) I still can not take it in hands as it is so so so soft…




So, forth attempt with fast moving recipe) Mar Azul (Cesaria Evora’s song) or Blue Sea Soap 

After pour:
 

 

After cut:


After clean up:

 
 

I liked the color combination so much that I repeated it again for my entry this month. Mar Adentro (Alejandro Amenábar‘s film) or The Sea Inside Soap. This time with slower recipe 

After pour:


After cut:
After clen up:


Today I made last one attempt and I overmixed it so just made a nice soap)))  
just after cut
 

After clean up:
 
 


Thank you, Amy, for such a great idea and good luck to us all!!!!

  3. Amazing colors Anastasia! What micas did you use? They really give depth to your design. Lovely choice on your entry, but I especially like the Peacock colors of the last one :)

    1. Thank you, Eva. Unfortunately, I don't know if I can help you with micas and its name.. I buy it from a local soapmaker and they have a name of this soapmaker on the package. May be a little bit help could be that almost all of them have word VIBRANT in the name, for instance Green Vibrant or Yellow Vibrant.

  7. Great work! The las-but-one is my favourite thanks to the colours and the beautiful pattern, too. The second one is darling - just as you named it: the volcano...well, all of them are beautiful in some way. :)

  9. Oh my, Anastasia!!!!! Every one of your attempts are absolutely gorgeous, but your entry.... STUNNING!!!!! The way the yellow drops down into the soap makes it look like a vein of gold! I cannot stop looking at it!!! So incredibly well done!! BRAVO!!

  10. I love the way you did the top of the soap with that bright yellow line. The colours are beautiful and really vibrant and you achieved a lovely teardrop shape. Stunning entry. It's really difficult to get it to close up at the top too. :)

  12. Gorgeous, and the ones that did not quite stay like a tear are just as gorgeous, great color concepts all the way through each soap.
