https://thevillagesoapsmith.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/februarys-soap-challenge-club-embeds

Let's make soap, cook and garden. February’s Soap Challenge Club – Embeds. February 21, 2014. For this month’s challenge Amy asked us to make soap with cold process embeds. I had a vision of a crescent moon and some stars in the midnight sky. I was sure I could pull it off. My first attempt at making the moon was an epic failure. I decided to use an acetate sheet inserted into a PVC pipe to make the moon. It seemed easy enough. So I poured a layer of dark blue with some white for the first layer. The...

February 2015 soap challenge – DNA/Helix swirl | The Village Soapsmith

http://thevillagesoapsmith.com/2015/02/20/february-2015-soap-challenge-dnahelix-swirl

Let's make soap, cook and garden. Where to buy our products locally (Pinehurst, NC). February 2015 soap challenge – DNA/Helix swirl. February 20, 2015. This month’s challenge was the DNA/Helix swirl. To accomplish this you lay down alternating lines of several different colors. You then use a chop stick, skewer or instrument of your choice to make a back and forth motion that produces a Chevron pattern. This is what my soap looked like at this point:. I must admit that I was tempted to leave it like this.

I think your soap tu...
