Browsing soap pics

[Mobjack Bay]

I take screenshots from my phone and crop those lol. Easier n faster for me.

Otherwise if you're on the PC, might be easier cropping if you right click and choose edit. There's also those free sites that can do that for ya, including compressing into a smaller file.

I’m posting cropped screen shots but apparently they’re big and there doesn’t seem to be a way to make them smaller on my iPad.

WOW!! to the last two soaps. Anyone have any guesses on the Mossy Creek, does that look like HP? It has a texture or look to it that has me questioning if it's HP or CP

I think CP. Looks like air bubbles cut with a wire. Maybe stearic spots.

Yes it is CP and stearic spots I think so too, so easy to avoid.
They say "natural" all over the website but do not list the colours (mica) in the ingredients. Sigh. A bug bear of mine - don't mind me.

Whoa.. Did she use some sort of string, you think?

I think you might be right.. it does look like an acrylic string pulling technique (never done it myself and haven't seen it in soap yet, but I think that's the best guess at this moment)

This is pretty cool - charcoal is used to colour soap and then salt added at trace to create the starry night effect:

Here’s another soap from Mee Hue’s IG feed.



And one in the making by Mimi and Boo



Happy Friday!

To me it looks like she placed mica colored oil dots and used a paint brush to smear the top.

Ah, could be. Looked very similar to these.

First soap by Wild Poppy Soap

I feel pretty certain the effect on Yina's soap is from blowing on mica in oil on the surface, using personal or mechanical means.

Unknown makers. Square soaps are M&P.

Oooh cool.. It's giving me ideas lol, and also the string pulling hehe.. Wondering if it's possible

And that square M&P is mind boggling, at least to me haha

That first M&P looks like a bamboo thicket, to me at least!
