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!
that soap is to pretty to use! it reminds me of my grandmas house where soap just sat to look pretty. Not that that looks like granny soap, it’s just to pretty to use:)
