Aww, thank you! And I love ocean themed soapsThose are gorgeous! I was actually considering an ocean-ish soap theme for this challenge, so if I do get time to make it, I guess I'll need to come up with something else.

Oh, I hope you can, @AliOop! Your artwork is so lovelyThose are gorgeous! I was actually considering an ocean-ish soap theme for this challenge, so if I do get time to make it, I guess I'll need to come up with something else.
Thank you! It was actually a combination of tint and hue. The bottom blue layer had added white, and the uppermost layers were tinted with ac. You don't see all of the upper layers because I cut them off LOL. They were over-tinted and ended up lookin just black.That’s a super pretty soap @Catscankim, with lovely soft variations of the hue.
So, I ended up making my LAST ATTEMPT today. Fingers crossed it will be firm enough to cut tomorrowThe challenge entry thread is now open:

Wow! Hopefully, one day when I grow up I am going to make such beautifull soaps!Well I said I was one and done with this challenge. It didn't work out as planned. It looks and smells nice, but it unfortunately did not meet challenge rules.
Still happy with it though so I am going to post it here.

I love those pink bars of soap!I already posted my entry but here are the other options I had. This was such a fun challenge - until my last attempt which started fun and ended up with me doing an unexpected deep cleaning. Lol. At least I was able to salvage a little from the countertop and throw it into whatever mold I could grab, but definitely not what I had planned for my 2nd attempt at a pull-through. Believe it or not, that batter started as a study on yellow. Note to self: even if your pull through doesn't come with binder clips...BUY SOME...and CLIP the sides. CLIP those sides. Oh my. Also buy another few pair of gloves so if your last and only pair rips you don't have to shove your hands in baggies to get the job finished and the cleanup done. Oh well - everyday a lesson.

Oh my goodness, that column fail would have freaked me out! Great advice, and so sorry that happened, @McKherring FarmI already posted my entry but here are the other options I had.

It totally did!! I was busy putting extra batter in a different mold when I heard a splat hit the floor, turned around and it was just pouring out of the mold! I grabbed a towel and threw it over the puddle on the floor and then started trying to shove everything from the counter back into the column - unsuccessfully. It caught me by surprise but is kind of humorous in hindsight - in a Lucille Ball type of moment (aging myself there).Oh my goodness, that column fail would have freaked me out!

LOL - I can see it and it’s hysterical and terrible all at the same time….It totally did!!
