We have some crazy cool soaps from the Embed Soap Challenge!! Members were asked to create a soap made with pre-made cold-process or hot-process soap embedded into a fresh batch of cold process soap. The design ideas for this challenge are obviously endless…<\/p>\n

Our grand prize winner is this soapy work of art by Zahida in Florida:<\/p>\n

\"Starry<\/a>

This is Zahida’s first time participating in the Soap Challenge Club, and hopefully not her last! She won a $50 gift certificate plus the mini silicone column mold set<\/a> from Brambleberry!<\/p>\n

We had a tie for second place between Toni in Michigan and Ildiko in Sydney, Australia. Toni made this adorable patchwork soap with a denim fragrance:<\/p>\n
