All so beautiful! Now I wish I could play hooky from work and make soap today instead LOL 
How the heck did I miss a thread full of beautiful soaps for over a year?!? I especially love, love, love the blue pointy layer soap. 
Wow so Nice!

I don't usually name my soaps, but that just popped into my head as I began this post
This batch is made using @earlene's blacksmith soap recipe and is fragranced with Energy from Bramble Berry. I dumped in some charcoal for color and textured the top with a fork. Not pictured: partial gel that left a discolored spot in the center of each bar. (You can see this a little on the top one.)

These three batches were made for a friend I first met on an airplane. She wanted some soap to give as Christmas gifts. I've sold soap to family and friends, but this was my first out-of-state order.
Cactus Flower
This batch was inspired by @Mobjack Bay's entry in the May 2021 challenge, but I used micas instead of natural colorants. I also eliminated the black and added white on the top and bottom. I don't think I've made a OPW since that challenge and was reminded of what a fun design it is.
Serenity
A new color scheme for the basic layer/mica line/ITP swirl design that I've done multiple times before. I'm including a bonus picture of the tops because they looked so gorgeously glossy after I steamed them
Sleigh Ride
I'm still questioning whether I should have used a more typical Christmas palette for this batch. Is it too reminiscent of the sea? In real life, the blues aren't quite as vivid as they look in this photo. I think the batch must have overheated a bit when gelling, which resulted in some interesting glycerin rivers in the bars. I tried a silver mica line for something different.

Those soaps are all super pretty! If you label the last one Christmas, no one will think twice. The colors are gorgeous.
