A couple pics as well

[newbie]

These are a couple soaps from a project of mine. I was trying to make a soap that looks like alabaster or marble and I thought it came out pretty well. It has some strange red oxidation that I can't explain, but that's okay.

The other one was an attempt to make a "cored" soap, for lack of a better word. It as made with BB Dragon's Blood and it is so dark, it looks like a hockey puck, but the coloring in the soap is really cool- very subtle but very interesting. I didn't expect it to be varied like it is. It's not my favorite scent but I may have to try it again just because of the intriguing look.

Okay, I must be a total idiot. I can't figure out how to get the picture in here, so I put in the links to the image shack thing. I'm apparently too old to understand this. Yikes.

Very unique soap! I couldn't even begin to figure out how you got the "corded" soap look.

I'm not sure I should say how I do it. It's rather unorthodox (read: not safe) and I might get kicked off the forum for even admitting what I do. I'm careful of course and haven't had any problems but... Okay, think blowdarts, and a safety reminder would include Clinton's famous line about not inhaling. Yes yes I know I shouldn't, but it's all for the sake of art, or something like that. Oh god, I just joined the forum- am I going to be banned?

Accidentally duplicated, so I erased it.

Great looking soap! I love the streak effect in the first one.

Don't worry about being banned. If people were banned for not following safety procedures, there would be very few forum members left. I do respectfully suggest that you find an alternate on how you make your cored soap. Perhaps an all plastic turkey baster?

If I am understanding you correctly, have you ever tried a turkey baster with a squeeze bulb?

 

[Hazel]

Are you asking me or newbie?

If so, I've only used a turkey baster on a turkey. But if newbie is blowing soap into a mold (which is my understanding but I could be wrong) then I'm concerned about safety. The thought of inhaling raw soap is scary. I didn't know what else to suggest as an alternative which would create enough pressure to force soap into a mold.

That's one way of looking at it.

 

[ewenique]

cool looking soap! I especially like the round one.

 

[loveit_latherit]

COOL! Really really nice and UNIQUE! Love them both

And for 'art's' sake ... Isn't that how all interesting stories begin LOL! But seriously - Now that you have the idea I do hope you polish your methods to come up with safer ways - b/c that's one fine soap!
Kudos!!
