Inspire Me - Soap Making Game

[jules92207]

So, I discovered that burgundy rose FO and coconut milk is a super heater. Soap went into full gel in under a hour with no insulation at all. Had to pop it in the fridge but it still overheated a little bit. Quite a bit of glycerin rivers but I like the look.

Thanks for the challenge, I would have never chosen layers or this combo of colors. It turned out really nice I think, added a bit of rose petals and glitter since I can't make pretty textures on top.

Ooohh that looks awesome Obsidian!!!

Finally here is my cut picture of the soap inspired by Obsidian. Scented with electric lemonade and moroccan mint - smells amazing what a great combination! It's an attempt at a butterfly - far from perfect but my best effort!

Oh wow, those look fantastic, soapswirl

 

[Obsidian]

They look great, the second ones look like flowers. I wish I could smell it.

Sounds like a challenge! I know from reading the CP test results there will be slight acceleration and it does discolor to a yellow/butterscotch hue, but I will see what I can do with some TD added. I will make this over the weekend and post once cut :razz:

Ok, I finally finished my "inspire me" soap. It will be ready JUST in time for 4th of July/independence day. I didn't have a star column mold so I used a cookie cutter in white soap I made yesterday. There are also "surprise stars" inside. The FO I used did accelerate but I made do! This is my first attempt at layers so I'm curious how it will be. I almost always HP and just swirl or single color. I used lemon verbena and guava mango (although I was requested to do coconut and lemon verbena, the coconut I have discolors and does not cp) hopefully I will have it cut by this evening. It smells so good and summery to me!

Ok! Its cut! Got glycerine rivers in my stars on the inside. Was going to call it star spangled soap but with the rustic look I'm going to call it "old glory soap".

 

[Sonya-m]

Looks fab!!!

 

[galaxyMLP]

Thanks! I still have to clean it up though... And the top is pretty yellow so I need to see if I can get it to be a little less yellow.

 

[Saponomancer]

The soap looks great!

sonya: I'm curious what fairydust smells like?
