Haven't soaped for a year.

and it shows - they are OK for presents.


1 - OMH with oatmeal and dark honey. 2 - Purple with passionfruit FO. 3 - Orange - Orange Peel/Cinnamon
4 - Christmas Pudding - Cranberry Marmalade (for a friend every year) 5 - Green/ Red - Applejack and Peel.

I think they look absolutely lovely! I would be glad to have them as a present. Personal fav #5.

Can I ask how did you get #2(Purple) and #3(Orange) to have such a rounded peak? Mine at best comes up as a ^ pointy top. Should I let my batter thicken up more then scoop it into the mould?

I pour quite thick and then let it thicken more in the mould, then shape the top so it just sits there.

Love #4 & #5. 5 reminds me of hard peppermint candy.

Pretty Soap!

So lovely @Relle. I most want to smell the orange peel and cinnamon!

Did you say presents? my P. Box number is........snu hampster. They are all extremely nice. #5 catches my eye.

 

[KiwiMoose]

All beautiful. I was intrigued by the tops too. I'm a flat-top soaper ( like a 60's male haircut). My favourite is the Christmas Pudding - but Apple Jack comes a close second.

I hope to be that 'bad'. Those will make lovely presents.

 

[Mobjack Bay]

Nice! I especially love the last two.

 

[Zany_in_CO]

I like the Oatmeal & Honey. I can just mind-smell it from here.

 

[cmzaha]

Those all look lovely Relle.

I do not think I even know how to soap anymore. I have not shaped since 2020. If I ever get moved and settled I might soap again.

They are beautiful and it looks like you haven't lost your artistry in the year of not soaping. I would love to smell the orange peel and cinnamon as well but I can imagine they all smell fantastic. Your gift recipients are a lucky group to receive such lovely bars.

The orange/cinnamon is a new fo, so had to have it after smelling at the supplier, bought it on a Sat and soaped Sunday. I just wanted a simple soap, to highlight the scent, it's lightly scented, all I can smell is the orange, I washed my hands with an end piece yesterday, very creamy, small bubbles, no where near cured. Will try it in the shower at 4 weeks to see how it fares.

Cinnamon is usually pretty assertive. I hope it shows up by the time the soap is cured.

They are all beautiful! I like blue and yellow together.

It doesn't show so well, but it's purple/yellow. It's a passionfruit scent, but it would look too dark if I tried to get the outside colour of a passionfruit.
