Our first ever Bramble Berry Soap Challenge was completed last week. It was inspiring to see all the unique and creative layered soaps that were submitted. Did you miss the challenge? Don’t worry, we have most of the fabulous entries that we received here for you to ooh and ahh over, take a look. If we missed you, it’s not because your soap wasn’t great. It was operator error. And now, inspiration awaits:
Didn’t get a chance to participate in the #Layering Challenge? You can participate in this week’s #Embedding Melt & Pour Challenge by submitting your fun and inspirational photos to Bramble Berry’s Facebook page with the hashtag #Embedding.

I am inspired by all of the soaps on here. I am new to soaping and have been finding that my clear base (though not from Bramble Berry) starts to dry and develop a skin before it cools to 120 degrees. Is this normal?
Different bases give you a much different melt point and feel when crafting. Work with that one with a higher melt point and next time you get a chance, try one or two of the Bramble Berry premium bases. I find them supremely easy to work with. =)
These are the premium bases:

I love seeing all of the pics on the Layered Wall of
Soap of Inspiration. I was so inspired that I gave it a try. But I’m sad to say it was not 100% successful. I tried the embedded jelly roll demonstrated on SoapQueenTV. Initially everything looked good until my layers began to separate! What did I do wrong? Can I salvage my soap? Can I re-melt the soap and try again?
Hi Deborah!
Sometimes layers begin to separate if they haven’t been spritzed enough with rubbing alcohol, so we always suggest using 91% Ispropryl alcohol in your melt and pour soaps.
But, since it is a melt and pour soap base, you can totally melt the soap down and try again! =)

So pretty, it’s great to see one of my soaps featured.
I loved your soap, it’s so gorgeous. =)

Oh wow! some truly gorgeous soaps there and some very talented soap makers, those liquorice allsorts look so real!
These are so cool and creative!!! The only thing I am missing is the wonderful smells from this page! I am very lucky to know 2 of the wonderful women who have made some soaps on this picture!
Those are all gorgeous! Melt and Pour is a ton of fun, I should do some more soon myself.
Everyone did a great job!
I agree! Melt and Pour is one of my favorite soaping techniques.

Love the one that looks like woodgrain, but they’re all beautiful! 🙂
That was one of my favorites as well! =)
