I love the similar, yet contrasting colors in that batter, its given me an idea I think it would br really attractive to create some soaps with this theme in mind lighter & darker mixes of yet the same color.
As you all well know the idea is one thing but actually getting the colors to turn out as intended is a whole other story!

Congratulations, it looks really pretty. I like the nice glossy sheen.

My first soap batch I made with the wrong kind of palm oil - the unrefined orange stuff. Not surprisingly I got bright orange soap and it has the distinctive odor of unrefined palm - big surprise there. It now looks kind of like Dial soap and has hardened up to be a really nice bar.

You did really well for your first time out!

Oooh it looks nice. And for some strange reason it's making me crave peanut butter. :shock:

 

[SudsyKat]

Great job! Looks yummy

 

[shee]

LOL! thank you all!! I'm pretty giddy about it

its making me think of caramel brownies LOL! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!


I don't know when I should cut it. maybe tonight?

Congratulations on your first batch! Try to save a few bars for posterity. I have a few bars from my first batch of soap I made 5 years ago and they still look great!

 

[shee]

thats a cool idea. I think I will do just that!

 

[shee]

added new pictures in the original post

I like how they came out! I just don't like the smell.

Congrats on your batch!

 

[xraygrl]

congrats! It looks great!

 

[ewenique]

Great first soap! Bet it won't be the last! :wink:

 

[judymoody]

Be patient on the scent. It can take a few days or even a few weeks before it's done doing its thing. I've had batches that were downright stinky and after a few days they were great. Looks beautiful!

 

[shee]

OK thank you for that. I hope you're right!!!
