A couple of batches from the past two weeks.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone!

Oooooh pretty! And all these pretty swirlies from the woman who has posted about how she can't swirl numerous times!

I think I'm getting a little better. Although, technically they're not swirls. They're streaks and blobs. Except for the ITP one. I did get some nice swirls in that loaf. I think I'm going to stick with the ITP technique. I seem to have the best results that way.

I especially like the purple one

You do? Well, I can throw a few bars in a box and send them your way. The purple one is another batch that has heavy cream and avocado in it but I'm sure you're totally sick of this type of soap. It's too bad that we couldn't do a swap. I'd send you the soap and you could send me all of your blueberries. :wink:

Shush! If I say they are swirls then they are swirls! Swirl swirl swirlity swirl! The swirlinator has spoken! (Why yes I am extremely tired and delirious, what has that got to do with it?) Do not question "ze swirlinator" muah hahahahahah!

OMG I'm swimming in blueberries. I wish I had a way to get some to you! And I'm not tired of it at all. I've been showering for the past week with your heavy cream grapefruit and bergamot soap. It makes me feel pretty like and ice cream cone! That reminds me, I need to send you some of my newer bars to try. I value your critiques very much!

 

[Hazel]

Woo hoo! Sending you a PM.

Whoever Hazel is kind enough to send soap to is a lucky person! She sent me a salt bar and some other goodies that I'm still enjoying.

LOVE the purple. I've been so busy with the new job, haven't soaped in a few weeks. This pic got me stirred up to hit the kitchen!!

Very pretty swirly soapies!

 

[Hazel]

Thank you ewenique!

Jacki, thanks for the compliment. And thanks for the reminder. I need to get motivated and make another salt bar batch. I'm not out but I really prefer them after they've cured 2 months or longer. The lather is so much nicer.

 

[Fyrja]

Oooh good reminder. I need to make some salt bars too. The last batch I made has received rave reviews so far.

They take a while in this humidity to cure to the point where they aren't oozing droplets of liquid so it's best to make them way ahead of time.

Great job Hazel. :wink:

 

[Hazel]

Thanks Jenny!

The ITM is so pretty. I really like how the colors are on the bottom and the top is mostly white. It reminds me of tie dye.

 

[Hazel]

Thank you! That seems to be the result of all my ITM swirl attempts. I think next time I should try layering to get the color more dispersed through the loat.
