Just cut this today it has been out of the mold about four days and I am keeping my fingers crossed that its not going to get much darker!!!!! It's fragranced with a dupe of L'Octaines Honey from Elements

Lyn, your soaps are always so beautiful! I'm jealous over your textured tops. Just stunning!

 

[tespring]

Lyn, that is beautiful! I agree with Nancy about the textured top.

 

[agriffin]

Wonderful! Looks so creamy! Love the tops.

 

[emilaid]

They look like slices of pure indulgence!!!

Ok... do share!!! How do you get those tops???

That looks yummyscrumptious! and yes- that's a word.

I want so badly to know how to get those tops!!!!!

 

[Bukawww]

While I am not a fan of USING textured top soaps, and therefore would never buy or make them that way, your soap makes me drool It is so creamy looking...I am striving for that creamy texture but nothin' yet.

Lyn you've warmed the cockles of my heart!!!

Best Natural Soaps I use an iceblock stick.....the wooden sticks and from the side of my log just kind of fold the top over on itself, like you would when folding egg white into a mix fold it over into the centre of the log then repeat on the other side if that makes sence, then rough it up a bit if I want a more rugged look...........the big secret is the consistancy really don't be afraid to experiment and mucking up is sometimes a good thing as it is from that we learn what we really should have done.
For whipping my tops I pour at an instant pudding consistancy and within a few minutes I am ready to texture my tops............Some have said that mini whisks are great for texturing as well haven't tried this method but all is worth trying. I really do hope you manage to texture your tops as you would like, just keep trying I remeber back when I wanted to swirl colours through my soap and was disappointed many times. Then oneday it all just seemed to fall into place and I now know I can swirl to get a certain look.
Bukawww my husband is not a fan either so I make a few batches without the texture but never as happy with them myself LOL

They are always absolutely stunning, Lyn.

 

[dubnica]

LYN!!! I want to eat those soaps...they look so yummy!!! Would you post your recipe for this one? I wish you lived in San Diego so you could give me classes on soap making.

 

[Jezzy]

Looks great! I am going to try that technique for the top my next batch...

 

[Lynnz]

Krissy from Atlanta so far so good don't think they will be getting any darker which pleases me
Holly thanks for your comment I for a long time felt that I didn't have my own stamp so to speak and had played with loads of different looks but think I am settling into one particular style so that was great to hear......again thanks.

They are just gorgeous soaps, I love looking through your etsy shop.

Thanks to Lyn, here are my first attempts at "yummyscruptious" bars!

I'll have to play around a bit more, but I'm getting there...

The orange-y colored one is really more yellow- something's up with the color in the picture-- didn't want to photoshop it. It's colored with calendula powder (makes a natural golden color), swirled with a reddish color (from red oxide). I scented it with EO's of frankincense and myrh.

The pale blue one is a swirl of alkanet root powder and plain batter (it shocked me- I was expecting light pink, and got light blue. It's VERY pH sensitive). Can't wait to see what it becomes. Scented with WSP's "Purification" EO blend (ginger, lemongrass, sandalwood).

 

[krissy]

BNS- those are gorgeous too! how did you get the middle so piled up but the sides are so far down?

 

[cwarren]

Beautiful - to the both of you !! I must ask ( you dont let it jell then do you ? )
