The other end of paintbrushes also work! I used to paint with oils too so I had different sized brushes that make different sized dots.
@Misschief I like the concept of your soap! Anything with black also appeals to me.. Love it!
@artemis from the entry pic you posted I'd not ever think you had problems with it lol They're actually very pretty

Thanks for the kind words people! I think the subject is really fun, I love all the soaps entered so far!
@Misschief yours is really super ingenious! Love the panels! Somehow your soaps make me think of a cup of hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream and cookies.. yum! Though the black panels with white dots also make it look a bit like stars on the outside.. hmm space latte?
@artemis, I wish you wouldn't have showed us the bars falling apart! Your soaps are so serene and beautiful! Makes me feel like I'm looking at the sky on a distant planet *dream*

@penelopejane I like that! Nice n simple but it works. I've said before that I love contrast and black and this has both. Great!
LOVE your soaps @penelopejane - had to google inverted stamps and oh no! Now I have to try doing this too ( I can see myself making all sorts of stamps.... totally addictive personality me)
Love your soaps @penelopejane ! They're so elegant!

@Dawni , @SaltedFig , @KiwiMoose and szaza.
Thank you for your kind words.
I was absolutely blown away by kiwimoose's soaps and everyone else's is so different.
Saltedfig I mixed the soap balls into part of the soap batter - the pattern of the balls was absolutely random.

I added a better photo of the top of my soap to the entry thread. Had to make a new post because the post edit had expired. Don't know if I should have put it in the entry thread or here. What do you think Salted fig?
Anyway there is a link to Auntie Clara's blog where she explains how to do it.
She makes the most beautiful soap.
However, I wouldn't use metal to make the stamps. I use plastic coated bendy wire. You can get it in the plant section of a big hardware shop.

Seriously guys, your soaps all look great. I have a soap in the mold. I can't babysit it tonight, so I sure hope it gels and I can get it out and cleaned up tomorrow (dot...dot...dot...)
This new photo show the dots on the top beautifully. I love the creamy white colour of the soap. Looks lovely.
@dibbles - I await with bated breath. I've seen what you're capable of!
Ohhhhh I'm looking forward to seeing what you came up with!
Putting your updated photo in the entry thread is the best idea - I won't miss it that way, when I compile the voting list
Looking forward to seeing your soap dibbles
@SideDoorSoaps - your entry is amazing! They really do look like planets. Very cool. Thanks for the blow-by-blow account of how you made it too. It's very interesting to read how things are done.
No, @KiwiMoose - Yours are!!!! Lol painting soap with tiny dots seems so mesmerizing.
I love how different techniques were used to get the dots look. I wouldn’t have thought about cutting circles out of labels of soap. That inlay look is so cool, @Misschief!
I want to try the inverted stamp one day and I think the circles on top look so elegant on penelopejane’s as well as the dusted soap balls on artemis’s. @szaza those clowning around soaps are so cute!!

@SideDoorSoaps Galactic is so much fun! Exactly what I thought when I sw it too lol I like the colors of the dots contrast with the black very well.
