Congratulations Dibbles, Mobjack and Guspuppy!

Thank you! Straight up smells like a watermelon jolly rancher OOB, today it smells more melon-y. We'll see what it smells like after the cure 🙂

Thank you!

I was totally holding my breath when you were trying to grip that pot!! Well done 👍

I couldn't resist! When my batter stayed fluid enough I hurried and grabbed the things I needed for a OPW, setting my mold into another mold box like someone here did (I can't remember sorry) and poured this watermelon soap. It acted so strangely after I poured it. The soap in the mold thickened...

I've noticed that some colors tend to accelerate batter also

It's the story of my OPW life 😐

Oh! I didn't see that. Ok, thanks and good luck!

I have that! It works great for mixing small cups of soap batter and color. I have not figured out how to get the frother thingy off to clean it yet, so if you figure it out let me know! I just run it in a cup of soapy water to clean it.

I am in awe of all the entries and the non entries!! Wowza!! So beautiful!!

Yes! thank you AMD 🙂

You're right, I thought I was misunderstanding or didn't read all the rules. Here is the rule about the picture of the pouring pot photo: 3. Your entry will have two photos. The first of at least two bars from your batch, and the second of your main pot before pouring. It doesn't say it has to...

That is exactly why I took my photo the way I did. Because my pitcher is semi clear and you could see my layers. From the top you could only see the one color. I'm really bummed my entry doesn't count. I can't switch to one of my others because I already posted them as non entries.

Thank you Kiwi! I did pour out of the same spout that I poured my batter into. I have done the initial pour on the side then poured out of the spout and have had different effects. I want the feathery effect but so far it has eluded me 🙂 I can't seem to get the right batter consistency.

Thank you Earlene!! I hope you are able to get your hand to cooperate and get a soap poured 🙂

I didn't realize we could pour the colors several times either, that would definitely help with the thin feathered lines. Did we get clarification on this? I looked through the thread and didn't see if we did, if it's there I missed it. I understood "pour each color fully" meant all of each...

My non entry soaps. First up is scented with Fresh Lemon Sugar from RE. Colors are all from Nurture. Lemon Chiffon, Eye Of The Tiger, Lemon Drop, and Celadon. Not enough difference between Lemon Drop and Lemon Chiffon. Accelerated on me so by the time I got to the orange it just came out in a...

My entry is scented with Blue Grotto from Rustic Escentuals. All colors from Nurture Soap, TD, Trial by Fire and Midnight. This technique has both intrigued and frustrated me! I didn't get a picture of the pouring pot from above as I was so worried about it thickening up on me, it stayed pretty...

Yes as linne said that's a great idea. I do write it down and have still layered it in wrong. I'm one of those people if I'm reading a map while hubs is driving, I have to turn the map to know which way we're going. (for those who know what a paper map is) lol

I'm aware of that lol. But for some reason it's just so very difficult for me to reverse the order. My brain just struggles 😂
