The swirl looks good. Cut pics please! The brown might not be as dark as you hoped but bet it looks lovely. From the pic it looks like caramel vanilla swirl *drools*

I think over 400 something bars on there right now. I grabbed tray after tray of soap from around the house because I was all excited to see it with soap on it. Didn't pay attention to cure dates. Like a kid at Christmas.

Typed and deleted a few replies. I'll be good :silent:

I'm a bit excited and have to share. I've had my soaps all over the garage, lounge room, dining room and kitchen curing. Not the best look. Bargain Hunter Hubby scored this rack for me for $90 from an ad in the paper. It had no shelves so he had some cut at the local hardware store which I then...

I've just started playing with vitamin E and dried herbs in soap batter to see if the vitamin E helps. I mix the Vitamin E in at trace and then add the botanicals to see if it helps some of them from going brown and streaky. I haven't tried it with many herbs but here's an example. This green...

They sound awesome. Looks like orange poppyseed cake there.

Thanks and yep, definitely boiled it off then lit it for good measure. I then left it in the fridge for over a week before I had time to soap it.

Not sure where I meant wrong on this one :confused:. I made 2 batches at the same time with sake as the water replacement. Mixed up the main batch, all was good, then split it into 2 bowls ready. I noticed when I was pouring it that the batter was bubbling a bit, kind of popping. The 1st bowl...

Hmm yeah sounds dehydrated to death. Damn shame cause your soap was so darn cute.

Nailed it :thumbup: That's gorgeous :clap:

Could be interesting. If you look at their website and click on each colour mica you have, some of them have comments relating to their use in CP soap left by customers. That might save you some dud soap batches. A lot have no comments and the website itself says nothing about the use in...

That is awesome. :thumbup::clap:

Um. The cool kids were doing it. *Seriously, it's meant to bubbly and yeah label appeal and yeah I just like throwing weird things in soap. I would use eye of newt if I could find a supplier.

Aww the blue and yellow look so good together with the pencil line. Did any stay in one piece? If not, do it again, they look great! Um....do it differently though lol. The blue bits I'd keep. Might be some awesome feeling soap when you use it. Do you felt soaps at all? I'd be felting those...

This was my 1st with mica as a base colourant in CP too. Right, will definitely do a mica experiment. I'm going to make some sake soaps now which is basically wine so will colour up 1 bars worth with mica and try it in a few weeks versus the other bars.

Bwhahaha excellent. The suds are strong in this one.

You must post pics. MUST! I don't care if they look like the spawn of the Corpse Bride and the Swamp Thing. I've gotta see this now. Probably end up with the coolest looking soap ever. Greenish/Greyish/Blue with yellow blobs :shock:. Some of my best soaps are from these experiences and yep...

Now that's thinking! I'll give it another 4 weeks and then off with it's head. Really tempted to do it anyway, that sounds so good. I didn't like how these turned out. Thanks!

Cute! Craving bubblegum now. I like those colours together.

Oooo checked how "aged" these soaps were and um, about 4 weeks lol. Not exactly Betty White old. I could have sworn I made these a couple of months back *shrugs*. I think it must be the colour fest I threw in because nothing else explains it. Next batch of soap I make I'm going to colour 1...
