Soap Swirl Winner Announced

Best Soap Swirl Winner

The latest issue of Saponifier just came out with the winner of the soap swirl contest that I entered back in January. Many of you voted in the contest, so I thought you might like to know who won! It wasn’t me – but it was the soap that I voted for! Nicole Benitex of Balsam made this lovely soap, and she even shared her technique which I was so thrilled about! One of the reasons I voted for her soap was that I couldn’t figure out how she did it. Once she explained it, it seems pretty simple. I’m ready to give it a try! I ordered some new fragrance oils this week (couldn’t help myself – there should be a 12 step program for this addiction), so perhaps I’ll use one of those.

You can check out the contest page to see all the runner-ups and find out if the one you voted for was a winner too!
