10 lbs of yummy!

Pink grapefruit (left) & mango (right) CP soap.

I used silk for the first time in these soaps, and they are loaded with shea butter.

They smell deeelicious! The two scents smell so nice together, I think next time I'm going to blend the FO's.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They look so creamy and amazing....

 

[Rosey]

[jcandleattic]

Those look great Ashley...

 

[AshleyR]

Thanks guys! They smell really tropical... almost makes me forget about the -30C weather outside! (-11 or so F!) Brr!

Such lovely creamy soap Ashley - and a blend of the two scents sounds wonderful......I will have to try that now! I have blended pink grapefruit EO with Baby Powder FO and it is gorgeous....I think I just love grapefruit! :wink: And is that subtle swirls I can see in the pink grapefruit one?

[jenn624]

very pretty! soft and creamy looking!

 

[AshleyR]

Thanks everyone!

Tanya, I didn't mean for it to be swirly... it just happened! That happens to a lot of my soaps. I don't know why, but I'm not complaining!

I love the pink color, what did you use to get that soft pink?

I love the pink color, what did you use to get that soft pink?

I used French Pink Clay! 1 tsp. for a 3.5 lb batch of oils.

They look very moisturizing! Great soaps!

Ashley they are fabulous. It is so much fun to see you evolving as a soaper, you are churning out such professional looking soaps these days.
And the french pink clay looks fab, I ordered some the other day so hopefully it will come soon, I want that soap!!

 

[Jody]

Those look great Ashley! I love the pink and am NOT a pink fan. Isn't it exciting to use the silk? I have used silk in my last few batches and can hardly wait to try them.

 

[Elle]

Oooohhh, they do look ultra creamy!

Thanks Chrissy! I'm trying. Don't ask me what I have spent on soapmaking supplies in the last year (hubby would kill me if he knew the "real" number!!) I really love making it, and I have a lot of spare time on my hands, so it's been keeping me busy!

Jody, the silk is interesting. My silk has little bits of "stuff" in it so it's kind of a pain to pick it all out, but oh well. I haven't yet tried a soap made with silk. These are my first ones... I can't wait to see what they're like!

 

[LomondSoap]

Very smooth looking and love the colours.
My silk never dissolves fully, I always end up fishing a bit out :roll:

 

[Jody]

Where do you get your silk, Ashley? I got mine from a place here in B.C. that Lindy showed me. No "stuff" in mine.

I ordered the stuff from ebay that someone mentioned a little while ago. It was super cheap - a stuffed baggie full for $5 including shipping. I just wanted to try it. I will probably look into getting some better stuff if I'm going to keep up with adding it. Picking out the little bits that are in mine will probably be a pain after awhile!
