Great Cakes Soap Challenge November 2015 - The Tall & Skinny Shimmy !

Tatsiana Serko is truly a soap master. She makes this technique look so effortless!  It took me two attempts, but I was finally able to achieve something close to the goal.  I can just see an entire series using this technique with color gradients. I'll certainly give it another try because I think the results can be stunning.

Here are the seven colors I used: 
Pearl Yellow (TKB),  Bronze Mica (TKB), Shamrock Green (The Conservatory), Peach  Sunset (The Conservatory), Mermaid's Gold (TKB), Peak Green (one of my favorite greens from The Conservatory) and Coral Reef Blue (TKB).

I fragranced this soap with Forest Essential Blend from Essential Wholesale Lab.  It behaved like a dream and is a subtle fragrance.  

I didn't bevel these bars as I think it would detract from the design.

Thanks for visiting !!
