I DID IT!!!!! Yeay me! (now with real Pics included)

[tincanac]

Thank you everyone for sitting through, hand holding and talking me calm. I got soap - I even (even though I know you're not supposed to do this) - took a sliver and washed with it - AND IT IS SOAPY, Bubbly and creamy, and it smells just like Licorice (the FO Jasmine has disappeared). I forgot to line the mould, so I kind of had to scrape it out of the mould, but it doesnt look terrible and I can slice off the ungainly bits - but I kind of liked the rough hewn look of it though, the soap itself looks like slices of marble. Going to try and post pics below this - hope it shows up

Thank you all again, you all have been really kind


This is when it had gone through the gel phase - it looked pretty cool in there and I was hoping that it would do the gloppy blob thing on the inside as well, but oh well.....



This is what it looked like after I scraped it out of the mould, (broke the mould in the process - there were a lot of things that went awry with this particular experiment - fires, seizures and broken moulds - but I am still quite hooked!

[Dixie]

Fantastic looking soap!!! WAy to go!

 

[Val]

Not sure what is going on there tincanac. All I did was quote you and hit submit.

maybe just leave out the IMG code as it seems to be showing in the post and it shouldn't.

hmmmm I wonder if it is because it says in the little options thingie under the emoticons that HTML is OFF - .....wait up...... I also unchecked "Disable BB code" - ( I really am not this stupid in real life :shock: :roll: :wink: ) - you think it will work now? Going to try and upload an old MP pic

 

[tincanac]

that didnt work either, scratches head.....

yeah the next batch is going to be a spirulina and red clover blend - but tonight I going to try whip up some body butter!

I dont know why I cant post pics - weird.....
