My balls

[Hausfrau007]

I've been pestered by a certain 2lilboots to post the results of my embed experiment.

I'm pretty happy with it, considering it was my first time... for colours I used anatto in one batch (10% of oil weight, infused 1 tbs per 5 oz of castor) and alkanet in the other (15% of oil weight, infused 1 tbs per 5 oz of olive). None of the batches gelled.

Both coloured batches in their molds:

The balls:

The balls in their new batter (both batters are the same: goats milk, oo, co, po, lard and shea):

aaaand cut:

Next time, I'll make the balls more perfectly round, but my eBay mellon baller hadn't arrived in time, so I used a metal tablespoon measure.

Yo, why can we only insert four images at a time? This restriction impeded my vivid story telling!

Nice balls!

You got a great color with that alkanet.

 

[Relle]

Nice soap.

I'm not sure on the new format for photo images, about only 4 at a time, but the old format there was size limit, therefore it would not upload after a certain amount. If you reduce them before you upload you should be able to put more up.
You'll have to check with Austin in Admin to be sure.

Nope. You can't even insert more than four smileys. It's the number if image files, not their size.

Lol -- hey! No complaining !!! I made those soaps only last week ...

The soaps are actually very cream colored. Maybe they look whiter against the strong colors of the balls. I'm really happy with the way the infusions worked out, especially the anatto. That's a pretty strong yellow for only 10% of total oil weights!!

Wow what beautiful balls you have! they look great against your creamy base.
