Botched but Saved Salt Bar

[cmzaha]

This is a salt bar I made last night with an fo that accelerates and I had forgotten. Read notes...duh. Accelerating fo + water discount + 100% salt = cement on a stick. I ended up mixing the colors as best I could in the bucket, packed it in the mold and in the oven for 2 hrs @ 200 degrees.
Although they do not match my vision I happen to like them. I wanted a stormy sea since this is Salty Sea Air by soapsupplies.net. Cannot believe I forgot to not discount this fo since I use it a lot. Old age is not golden... I had originally planned on gray, lavender & blue. There is actually blue but it did not show up in the pic. I am not great at taking pictures

It looks exactly like a stormy sea so.. SUCCESS! It looks really nice and so smooth for a salt bar really.

I agree, they look very stormy. I love that swirl with the salt to give it texture.

Thankyou everyone, it was dumb luck they turned out as well as they did, since my batter was as thick as butter when I plopped the colors in the bucket to try and mix them. Smooshed and smashed was the mode of mixing :-D

I think it came out amazing! It reminds me of Van Gogh's "starry night"!

Oh my goodness, just used the one bar I had saved back from this batch. My gosh you can shave with these since it has such thick luxurious cushion type lather. Wish I have kept more of them back

Almost one year old... Oh how I love mature soaps! That one is so pretty too! The only bad thing about using them is that then they are gone

I know I will be very sad. Looked it up and it is 90% coconut 10% castor with 18% superfat. The lather is unbelievable. :clap:

I too love well aged soaps. Especially salt bars. They seem to become more awesome with age. Yours was very pretty!
