I made mine yesterday!!!!!! This is right after the poor and swirl. Cant wait for the cut, i am so very excited
It looks good to me, of i didnt read your post i would had thought u ment it to look like thatSo okay...here we go.
I was trying to make the Clay & Charcoal Soap by Kapia Mera Soap Company. I had a few...uh...issues. It started well enough, soap batter was perfect, colors were properly dispersed. First the Rose Clay, then the Kaolin Clay and oh crap...wrong container. Okay, I’ll make some more and add more Activated Charcoal. Go to add a smidgeon of AC...and I dumped a third of a brand new container in. No. No. No. Crap. Crap. Crap. Grab a spoon, no time, scrape into my hand. Ack! Gross! Wash hands. Wash hands. Wash hands. Stir the black, it has white specks, going to have to use the stock blender...gently, gently.
Okay, time to pour. Crapola...forgot the Fragrance Oil, dump in, stir, stir stir. Grab cutting mat to use as a divider...oh no...too long one way and too short the other. Okay, grab a paper plate, cut the middle out of it, hold onto it. Pour in some of the Rose Clay...little more than light trace, but still okay. Pickup the Activated Charcoal and OH NO...it’s turning into pudding. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Okay...we can do this. Dump some in...hold divider between thumbs and forefinger, grab mold with palms and smack, smack, smack, Shake some more in. Smack, smack, smack. Okay...why do I have more black than rose when I pored exactly the same amount? Doesn’t matter, pull out the divided and grab the white and...I don’t care, hold it up high enough and it should go in most of the way. Grab the tie thingy, bend it, bend it again...how does it go again. Straight down, then something about figure-8s back and back and fourth...no time, do something. Toss tie in in sink, smack, smack, smack. Spoon three rows...smack, smack, smack...do the swirl thing, cover, open the oven...****, forget to heat it up. Okay, good enough, put in the garage.
NAILED IT! Not...LOL. But I’m not too unhappy and I will clean up the bars this weekend. I’ll try it again, but with a difference fragrance. Normally I’m a fan of Cherry-Almond, but this FO is really ‘sweet’...sticky sweet.
