Oh my gosh it is surely February!  Time is evaporating as I live and breathe.  We are in the process of putting our home on the market, packing, painting and cleaning so soap is back in the closet for now.

Just a few photos of the faux funnel swirl challenge of last year.  Some cut out of the log vertically and some cut horizontally.  These soaps I was disappointed in at first.  A grapefruit essential oil was lovely but the soap didn't speak to me if that makes sense.  The process was fun the colors were fun but I wasn't inspired.

This soap is now one of my favorites and I think it is because it sat on the back shelf neglected for so long.  It is around 6 months old and is a dream to use!  Go figure cure time is to me the longer the better!

Original batch no horizontal slices here but a wonderful soap at 6 months.  The TD did a crackle effect in this batch.


Another batch with front vertical cut and two middle bars cut horizontally!

A combination of horizontal and vertical cuts of faux funnel swirl technique.
