whoa, the entries so far are out of the world ... maybe because is galaxy challenge? :think: :mrgreen:

Amazing stuff you guys!
 
So, I couldn't sleep last night and I think I came up with a way to do the "Hidden Heart Swirl" with MP. But... before I try, is it okay if I use a "non-conventional mold?" I don't have a silicone mold right now that would work for this.

Allowed molds were:

Loaf molds, Slab molds, column molds, container/makeshift molds.

So, yes, I would say a non-conventional mold fits the bill.
 
I can't wait to get home! I attempted the challenge again last night & I'll get to cut it today. If it turned out like my first attempt then I'll just sit back & continue to admire all of the successful soaps, they are all so colorful & beautiful!

I love MP, so I can't wait to see what you make!
 
Seeing everyone's entry photos makes me VERY impatient to go home and cut and photograph mine! I have attempt #1 but I'm waiting to see how #2 is, because I think its going to be better. I've got some beautiful valentines overflow soaps as well, I've really enjoyed this challenge!

This is my first attempt, hopefully this attempt at getting photos uploaded works! This was made with the technique in the video. I'm happy with the hearts but unhappy I forgot to mix my TD properly :(
 
Oh and some heart shaped soaps with the excess batter which I think turned out really cute :)

OK so it took four hours and downloading the app by my entry is finally uploaded
 
Well. I'm sorry to disappoint but there will not be a MP entry for this Challenge. My heart came out looking like a pumpkin. I melted all back down. I won't have time to try again. On the bright side though I have A. learned how to make a Hidden Pumpkin & B. I always have February's Challenge! :)
 
Oh Katt that hidden pumpkin comment made my day :D please don't apologise or feel bad, we all know how soaping - and life - goes! Please share a photo of your pumpkin soap :D
 
Hey, hidden pumpkins are way better than hidden blobs! ;)

Lovely entries this month, y'all! I'm having a blast seeing all the ways people are interpreting this Challenge. And I'm getting great ideas about lovely color combinations -- you are giving me more courage to be bolder with the colors I use.

And that reminds me -- I need to get my pics taken and uploaded too.....
 
Okay, somebody put me out of my misery.

Is Red Lake 30 a bleeding colorant?

My third batch went really well -- nice pour, pretty hearts, etc. But in the several days since I unmolded and cut the soap, the color has changed from a cute blue and white theme with accents of pink (that red lake!), lavender, and aqua ... to a dull, muddy blue-purplish mess.

I was soooo looking forward to adding a pretty pink to my soaping colorants, and I didn't do my research before I bought. :think:
 
Yay! I got a heart but my third color didn't show so I can't enter it into the challenge. Oh well, guess I'll just have to continue to admire all of the very beautiful & successful soaps!
