my colours were just a plain blue and a plain green (non bleeding) from a website called soaposh.co.uk The third colour you think you can see is actually where I hadn't mixed the colour in thoroughly at the side if the bowl hehehe so that is just the normal soap colour without any added...

Thank you so much :) that's very kind I think I messed with the top a bit too much and should have waited for it to thicken more before trying the Lyn top

Just lovely! Fab colours. I want to eat the lemon one too yummm

Thank you :) I was a bit worried how the colours would turn out as I added avacado oil into the mix of oils which has a dark green/brown colour.

Here is my 2nd batch of soap, made with men in mind. This was my first attempt at swirling two colours and also my first attempt at the lyn top. Could be better but Im quite happy for my first try. I used bergamot essential oil and eucalyptus essential oil which makes a refreshing...

Lovely chunky soap and pretty swirls. Frangrance sounds yummy :)

Although the swirl didn't work out this is a beautiful soap!!! Looks nice and creamy, fabby stamp and lovely top! Don't be so hard on yourself missy!

It just called mulled wine from a uk based website 'just a soap', but thanks for the heads up, will take this into account incase it happens with this fragrance

Merry Christmint that's a great name, love it!! Think I'll keep to my original colour plan then and hope for the3 best. Any ideas of what to call this mulled wine soap? I've had a few rubbish ideas but finding it hard to think of names which either incorporates mulled wine and...

Appologies gentleman, I shouldn't have started off with 'Hi ladies'!! Well the mulled wine fragrance came today and OH MY does it smell good. Can't wait to make this soap now, my family and friends are in for a treat! thanks for everyones advice.

Thanks, yes mulled wine is a fragrance oil I have ordered, suitable for skin (from a soaping website) hmmmm psycho bathroom scene doesn't sound very christmassy......any suggestions colour wise?

Thanks, I'll take your advice on board Yes I am making a christmas soap using mulled wine fragrance, colouring with a deep red and a swirl of orange mixed with broze mica. Going to attempt a Lyn top and add a cinnamon stick on top for decoration :D

So hope I'm not making a fool of myself here but UK suppliers of tussah silk for soap making seems hard to come by... Would this off ebay be ok to dissolve and add to soap? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pure-Tussah-S ... 2ea1726a14

thanks 7% it is then the silk may make it more appealing as christmas presents, may consider adding some

hmmm maybe I worded my post wrong. I realise soap is for cleansing and it's not a lotion bar. Maybe I should have said I'm after a soap which doesn't strip you bare of all oils and leaves skin feeling soft rather than moisturised. Would these % work well? Sweet almond oil....6.25%...

anyone? please... I was thinking some sort of mixture of avacado oil, shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil and sweet almond oil?

Love them!

Thanks for your replies, I will look into candelilla too

well I think that is a beautiful soap! I hope my next look as good as that :) x

I've found some vegan friendly jojoba wax pastilles, alternative to beeswax. Says it makes the skin soft and velvety, anyone used this or think it would be nice instead of beeswax?
