Christmas Soaps

[Krazekelly]

Did something a little different this year. I like the way they turned out. I did have to even out the red glitter on a few of them. Got carried away.

what are the images made of? how did you get everything to stick?

 

[Krazekelly]

Thanks! Everything is cp soap. I used a mold for the candle embeds and made them a few weeks ago. I piped cp soap for the Christmas trees, gift boxes and all the decor on them. I had some mp stars for some but piped the other stars.

Now that is the art of soaping at it's finest! What intricacy and attention to detail! I can only imagine the care and time you put into making them. They're simply stunning. You deserve some kind of an award for creating those little beauties. Well done!

 

[Saswede]

Wow! That looks like a LOT of work - and they turned out beautifully.

Gorgeous!

Those are gorgeous! You did a wonderful job, beautiful swirls and I'm impressed with the detail and your patience in making them. I agree with Tienne you deserve an award for the beauty of the soap, creativity and implementation of it. Also, I love the red in your swirls. Do you mind if I ask what colorant you used?

 

[Krazekelly]

Y'all are sweet! Thank you and yes it was a lot of work. I thought about what I wanted to for weeks before I made them. The red is a combo of BB electric bubblegum, burgundy and red oxide. I used the same amount of green and red for my swirls but as you can see, the red is way more prominent. I scented with eucalyptus and spearmint.

These are just amazing and I can't imagine the work that went into them.
The candles especially remind me of some of the Xmas ornaments my grandma used to have on her tree.

The red is a combo of BB electric bubblegum, burgundy and red oxide.

Thanks for the info. I don't have those micas but I think I have something similar which I could try blending.

OMG Krazekelly, I can't imagine the time, effort, and thought that went into your soap!!! absoluting gorgeous!

Hazel if you have a merlot or burgundy mica and a hot pink mica/colorant it will come a perfect Christmas red.

 

[Hazel]

kazmi - I have bordeaux and neon pink. I could try a blend with them. Thanks for the suggestion. :grin:

 

[Ancel]

Amazing! Patience, dedication and a steady hand Well Done! Love the swirl too, and actually really like the size of the soaps too. Nice work.

Hazel, I was just watching Soaping 101's latest video and she suggests you can get a perfect xmas red by mixing 3 parts electric pink to 1 part red vibrance mica. (Below her video in the description box she has a link and a code to get a 5% discount on the colours at Nurture Soap Supplies.)

As a side note, if you're out for a xmas green too, then she says to use equal parts electric green and green vibrance mica.

(They're already offering 10% off on colourants so I reckon the 5% code would be on top of that? That would make most sense, anyway.)

Wow! Those are amazing!! Do you sell them, or are they for gifts? Either way, people are going to go crazy over them! I had never thought of piping designs on top of my soaps, which is ridiculous since I am a pastry chef and pipe elaborate Christmas cookie decorations every year. Thanks for the inspiration!
