_____________________________________________________________

NOW
[SIZE="2"]This month’s challenge is STRIPES.

This challenge requires that you use stripes as a design element. They do not need to be straight nor do they need to be the entire soap. Put on your design caps and think about a way to use stripes to make a kick-ass soap.


SMF Challenge Specific Rules

*You can use any mold you wish, loaf, slab, individual, round.
*Stripes must be a noticeable part of your design. As stated, they do not need to be straight but they must be stripes. No swirlies (not the toilet kind)
*You cannot just make a two layer soap and claim a stripe. Come on now!
*Mica lines can count as stripes as long as they are not swirled.
*M&Pers welcomed!
*You can use embeds.

Challenge Entry Thread Opens April 19, 2017.
Challenge Entry Thread Closes April 26, 2017 (11:59pm CST)
Survey for choosing the winning choices opens April 27th.
Winners Announced April 30, 2017.
