A hit & a miss...

[WallFlower]

The good news is my pencil line turned out better than I expected without a small sifter & me just clumping it on everywhere. The bad news is partial gel!!! GRRR! I soaped around 80 degrees. Had my mold in the freezer for a whole day (without soap. Just put mold in freezer by itself to help it NOT gel) and it didn't work I'm either going to have to start gelling my soaps or get a new mold

Still neat-looking soap.

I think it looks great! Awesome job on the pencil line

It still looks great!

I agree with others. It still looks cool. In fact, I looked at the pictures first before I read your text and didn't even realize that it was partially gelled until you said so.

Thanks everyone! I'm hoping the color evens out a bit more with time.

They look great and now I want caramel candy! Thanks btw: don't worry about the gelling issue. You did a wonderful job!

Love the way your soap turned out and the way the pencil line is in the tear drop, what scent did you use ?

 

[WallFlower]

Thanks all!
Relle I used Lemon EO with a touch of Vanilla FO. Hoping it sticks, I hear citrus can be tricky so I used clay to anchor it. It smells like lemon cake

Yes, this is what I think will happen. When did you cut it? Sometimes waiting to cut, takes care of it, also. I think they look nice and will be just perfect.

These look like caramel frappeccinos. Yummy!

looks great!!
and what about the color? how did you obtain it? really like it!

 

[WallFlower]

Thank you all!

Yukari I divided my batch up & left one portion uncolored & then used a yellow oxide or pigment powder on the other portion.

Wow they are gorgeous! I got tired of trying to stop my soap from gelling so instead I just gel everything on purpose to keep the look consistent. ;-)

Thank you! Yes I am contemplating gelling now. Since I took the pictures the gelled part has lightened up more than the non gelled part & I actually like the color of the gelled part more. So I may be gelling more often now

I like it! Tell people that it turned out exactly how you planned.
