First Pics

This is my first time posting photos. I enjoy seeing other's soaps, so hopefully you will enjoy seeing some of mine.

The purple is a salt bar rebatch.

The green/white is Fig & Cucumber scent. I used cucumber puree.

WOW, great job!! I like the cucumber and the coffee one. I can feel and smell them now!!

 

[craftgirl08]

ewenique, may I ask how you got the top of the coffee one to spike up like whipped cream? It looks sooooo yummy!

 

[ewenique]

I let the soap thicken after the pour and used a spatula to peak it up.

fantastic, love the coffee with whipped cream and the cucumber looks so light and summery.

LOVE your salt bars!! ....all the others, too. Great purple. Lovely color on the cuke/fig.

The salt bar is a beautiful color! I also like the cuke one. It looks refreshing. As for the coffee...I drink coffee all day long and love the scent of vanilla. Great job!

What did you use for colorants?

I love the coffee one! I'm a sucker for coffee soap!

The dark brown of the coffee one is from coffee and the vanilla bean FO.

The Amethyst salt bar purple is darker than the photo shows. I was playing around with Joann's M&P colorants. It was cool to see the color change in the raw soap from blue to turquoise, to fushia pink. It settled down to a mottled fushia/blueberry coloring. When I rebatched it, the dark purple emerged.

The Fig/cucumber was Sage coloring from Joann's. It didn't really morph like the blue did.

Do you mean JoAnn's Fabrics? If so, there's one not far from me. I didn't realize you could use MP colorants in CP.

Well, they were discontinuing the M & P items, so the colorants were 50 cents. I had to try them even though they are unstable in CP soap.
