Thanks so much Lyn!!!! You make it look so easy. I guess I know what I'll be trying this weekend and discovering just how difficult it actually is A million thanks!!!
ok, i guess i still suck! i tried and i got some texture but still didnt get a Lyn top. i think i would have but i played with it too much. oh well, i am doing 3 more batches tomorrow...
Lyn, that's so very kind and generous of you to video your technique for us.
I know it is not nearly as simple as you make it seem so I will still save my pennies for your plane ticket so you can enjoy a soaping tour of the U.S.
Welcome I cant wait to see some new tops........Jude your a gem and I tell ya what one day when the kids have left home and the mortgage isn't as heavy I am going to visit the States and meet me some soapers :0)
Thanks for your generosity in sharing your technique. I haven't tried a batch since I just watched the video. But earlier I had tried one based on what you had written awhile back.
I was inspired to make the batch after seeing Holly's and Elaine's soaps. It's a buttermilk castile and I'm going to be sooo frustrated that I have to wait forever to use it. :roll:
eta: I shouldn't complain because now I have Christmas presents for this year.
Hazel - I like those glittery tops. I have to keep myself from putting glitter on everything. The pink ones are especially hard to resist sparkling. ;-)
They are pretty and my Inner Diva adores them. However, I don't know how they are to wash with. I'm going to make a regular batch and put glitter on it so I can try it.
Hmm...pink. I haven't done a pink soap. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion.
I also like how the glitter streaks through the soap as you cut it. I thought it looked more interesting.
Thanks Lyn for the tut. I'll try it on my next batch, but I've been doing something a little disimilar on my tops, the trouble is I'm a virgo and fiddle with them too much. I should do a couple of sweeps and leave well enough alone.
Well, Lyn is quite the dab hand with this technique. Tried it tonight and I realized she made it look SO easy! I had to use a spoon, and finding that trace window is a bit tricky. We'll see how they slice up in a day or two. I didn't gel as I don't know how those peaks fare through the process so I have to wait to unmold. It's fun to have something new to try! Thanks again for sharing, Lyn!
I tried today too. It definitely takes a practiced hand that I don't have and Lyn makes it look so easy! Can't wait to see everyone's Lyn-inspired tops. She should patent them!
Hazel your soap looks fantastic :0) love watching your journey and love this new soap muchly :0)
Ha tis so funny to see people talking of Lyn's tops :0) I have enjoyed sharing with a great bunch of soapers :0) Looking forward to seeing everyones new creations
