what I envisioned is so NOT what came out. But it will be my entry anyway since one try is all I have time for this month!

Bwahahaha!!!! What evil soap making fiendish mind conjured up this month's torture?!!! (Oh....erm....sorry Saponista....I, um, didn't mean to imply....)
So let me restate: I'm an idiot. I'm losing it. This is sooooo much harder than I thought. (Story of my life, actually.)
A mosaic slab? I just may end up with a nice loaf with chunk embeds, and life as I once knew it will go on. In the meantime, while I still have a few shreds of sanity left, I'll try to pour my base today and lay tile. If I don't smash their sticky little smudged misshapen bits of blob to smithereens first.:crazy::twisted:
(Probably should have put this in "Rants," huh?)
Very pretty soap, Blackdog. I like the carp theme.
Blackdog your soap is nice I like the whole thing. You are right the one fish is perfect, looks so graceful and just flows.

I don`t think I have enough time to do another one, I barely had time to do this one because I have been very ill, but I feel it was such a challenge I want to present something at least.

^^^^ (post 73) They are called soap gremlins and they attack when you least suspect them and stay for a little while, unfortunately!
I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
In honor of my father, I made the mosaic of a project my Dad did when I was young. I made several different test soaps this month with the plan to use certain ones of them as mosaic pieces in this particular soap. I used all the ones I had planned to except one, which didn't turn out as a useful soap. It's going into the rebatch bucket to be re-worked into something more useful. Some of my test soaps turned out so beautifully, IMO, that I was happy I didn't have to use all of them to cut pieces to fit the mosaic design. I was afraid I would be left with little to show for those lovely color and technique tests. But I have photos, and some actual bars of soap to evaluate after they cure.
In the meantime, because yesterday was Father's Day and the soap I made was in honor of my father, I made the soap on Father's Day. After an overnight gel in the oven, I unmolded it, took some photos, sat it under a fan for a few hours, then cut it. More photos. I think the cut bars of soap look better than I expected them to after removing the slab from the mold, so I am happy with the result.
I will post pictures in the entry thread shortly.
