Welcome to January’s SMF soap challenge. I have been asked to upload it early as lots of you have some free time to get started between now and new year. The winner will also be announced a little early this month on the 29th as I am off on my holidays to Lanzarote on the 30th.
This month’s challenge is black and white soaps. You are free to design your soap in any way you wish. I have made a video of the black and white soap I created for the challenge which you can view here –

· You may use any colourant you wish to create your black and white.
· To enter you must submit a clear photo or video showing your final design. We would love you to tell us a little about how you created your design and what fragrance, additives or other ingredients you have chosen to include in your recipe.
