Sculpted Layers - Soap Challenge Club (June 2016 entry)

 

Hi, everyone,

This is my sixth soap challenge. It was the hardest one so far.

I had a difficult month again full of tooth ache (my daughter), other health problems (my dog) and no sleeping))) I did only one try making soap fulfilling the guidelines and one experimental soap.

First I saw Sculpted Layers technique at Auntie Clara’s blog in her Lace Soap tutorial and liked it very much and wanted to make it someday. 

I don’t like soap made all with this technique (though they are wonderful) because they seem to me too unnatural. Unfortunately I also hate landscape soaps as much as embedded soaps)))) So it was hard for me to got some idea on geometric shapes for the soap..

Rimmed Soap - Soap Challenge Club March 2016

 

Hello, friends,

This is my third Soap Challenge Club and my first time

-        Doing rimmed round and square soap, spin swirl, helix swirl, spider web swirl, modified Taiwan swirl and rebatching

-          Using shredded loofah and pearl powder

-          Struggling with ricing))))

I suppose for most of us it was a real challenge this month as rimmed soap is indeed an advanced technique. And I suppose most of us were very happy to be taught by brilliant teacher and soapmaker Tatsiana Serko (my interview with Tatsiana is here) from Creative Soap by Steso.. But I suppose that we were more happy that Tatsiana was not participating this month and we all normal mortals got a chance to win))))) Tanja, it’s a joke))) You know me)))
