meet my soap babies

[gigishiree]

1 chamomile tea as liquid. tea bag mixed in at trace. chamomile flowers in bottom of mold.


2 all olive oil with salt added for hardness. superfatted with castor. used coconut milk as liquid. toasted some for the top. smells uber.


3. used strong cappucino with coffee grounds at trace. vanilla bean imbeds to mimic marshmellow. my two year old nephew tried to eat it!


4. Sugar cookie and vanilla FO with oatmeal mixed in. Castile


5. Watermelon, summermelon and cucumber FO. a few poppy seeds to simulate ...well seeds lol. this is my fav. dispite my swirls that didnt turn out. the green disappeared altogether and the orange is very faint. not sure if it was a user error or what.....i got them from hobby lobby.


6 Castile with patch, bergamont and orange spice EO. orange spice tea bag thrown in for fun.



And my fur baby..... whos very attentive to whatever falls on the kitchen floor, lol always on the lookout for a tasty treat!

Also i decided to wrap my babies just to see how they'd look. I used brown paper bags and some scrap fabric....(im a knitter -hand and maching and i also like using strips of cloth sometimes for fun)

Very nice!!! Couple of questions. How did you get the ripple effect on your bars? And what type of brown paper is that wrapped on your soap??

its just a ripple cutter. some of them i practically shaved down to nothing trying to get nice even bars. lol my OCD would let me stop.

The paper is just plain lunch bags i always have on hand for my human babies....cut into about 6 strips the long way. I thought it looked better bulky rather than just a single ply.
