Lovely swirl and textured tops, that's a great looking soap!

 

[honor435]

wow, cool, question how do you do the tops like that? i have some low height merigue looking tops, do you just use a spoon when its really thick? also, how do you package when its like that? just wondered.

 

[Lynnz]

The secret is in making sure the soap is at the right consistancy when texturing the tops. If the soap is not set enough it will flatten out somewhat. I use iceblock sticks to do my tops but the tsp makes a nice pattern as well.
As for packaging I was using cello bags but they end up looking a mess, I am so over the packing issues that nowadays I just pop into a nice kraft carry bag with a cello lining and call it quits LOL

 

[honor435]

whats a iceblock stick?

Lyn, as always, absolutely beautiful!
Can I ask you how thick you cut your bars?
I cut mine 2 cm, but yours look a little thicker than that
I love the colour you've achieved here, what did you use?

Great job, great job. I always get so excited when I see you've posted a new pic. I haven't soaped the whole school holidays...damn kids are in the way!

Hey Chrissy the dye I used was the seafoam green from Aussie Soap Supplies, I have the purple as well and itching to use it
Sorry to hear you have had a bit of a wait to soap, hubby and kids have been home since the18th dec.......Monday was my first at home by myself so instead of all the catching up I should have done I soaped!!!!!
I have been cutting my soaps at about 2 3/4 cms. Kev says I dont need to cut them so generously and I tell him I am just following my heart LOL
