:lol This is my first mantra swirl in Black Raspberry Vanilla.

I've had a weekend of soaping and trying new things - new to me anyway. They were all time-consuming, but there is such a reward in it if they turn out the way you pictured them.

goat's milk soap I'm glad you are enjoying the goat's milk. It accounts for about 90% of my cp soaps, and I love it. I prefer gelled soap myself, but it really comes down to personal preferences. I don't find my gelled soap any darker in color than the ungelled, generally, and I think it is...

pink ones I just love the first one. It almost looks edible:-)

girly soap I LOVE it - so pretty and girly! Beautiful job on the photo shoot too!

latest soaps Very pretty swirls - especially the last one.

nonbleeding colorants Try the soap safe micas from TKB trading. If I am doing embeds or layers, they are all I will use. The is absolutely no bleeding, and you can achieve virtually any color.

monster soaps Those monster soaps are seriously cute! Love it.

divider mold It is a cute mold. I am 8 batches into my new Soaphutch mold, and I love it too - no lining, no oiling, no freezing (others say they do), and it unmolds so slick and smooth. When I use the dividers, I get ash too. I think it might be the open air above the soaps. I've been...

energy type Not sure what happened to the Energy dupe, but here it is... URL=http://img89.imageshack.us/i/energyv.jpg/][/URL]

Here are a few more from my restocking lineup: PINK GRAPEFRUIT, FRENCH LILAC, ENERGY, CHOCOLATE MINT. These are all goat's milk soaps. The first three get their color from pop micas. I LOVE my pops. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

first swirl They turned out just awesome. Very pretty.

trouble swirling Don't be too discouraged. I think you have too heavy a trace. Have you tried doing your swirl in the pot at a light trace?

I tried this earlier and made a mistake. It would appear that there is a learning curve in posting pictures in the photo gallery :lol: Spearmint funnel swirl. Blackberry Sage ITM swirl. Island Coconut ITM swirl. All three are goat's milk soaps, and all three were gelled. If anyone...

labels I love your labels, and now I also feel inspired! Beautiful soaps too.

I am pretty sure that this is done in a slab mold with dividers to pull the swirl colors down the sides of the bar. Something skinny was used to pull the color through the soap - maybe a skewer? I'm thinking that it was a very cooperative fragrance too!

bay rum Very nice! I haven't tried bay rum, but I was just ordering some fragrance oils, and I might try it. My dad was an Old Spice guy too, and I think there are a lot of women out there who would relate. Currently, my favorite men's fragrance is BB Vanilla Oak. My sister calls it that...

gel in soaphutch I did two separate batches in two of the three log sections, and mine heated up really nicely. I REALLY insulated though. I laid a sheet of waxed butcher paper with a big, flat book on top. Then I covered with a couple of folded bath towels. I had to take off a bit when my...
