My CPHP progress and one RTCP

[NancyRogers]

This one is RTCP/no gel. It's Day Star's Grapefruit Lily. Love the smell and so far, it's sticking.

And here are my first two batches of CPHP. This one is Day Star's Goldilocks. I used .5 oz ppo and boy is it strong! I think my colorant choice is unfortunate because Hubby says it looks like Hog's Head Cheese. :shock:

This one is Black Vetiver Cafe by Souther Garden Scents. I tried to use some charcoal, but obviously did not use enough to get a nice black layer.

Finally, here are my latest bars with the addition of Sodium Lactate. I think adding it has made a huge difference in the soap. This one is a single bar I made to test a sniffy sized sample. It's Frangapani from Southern Garden Scents. I really like it.

This is Liquid Crack from Day Star. I was able to do some much better swirling by using the SL.

Finally, this one is Honeysuckle by Bert's Heaven Scents. I just colored it yellow and added some sugar sprinkles on top.

Wow, you've been really busy. They all look great, even the hog's head cheese one (only in Louisiana!). I thought about that Fleur de lis mold, but haven't gotten it yet, although I do have a stamp with it on there. Keep up the good work.

Busy ness created beauty.

I love all of them including the Head Cheese (also an Acadian dish). It's hard to pick a favourite, but the Liquid Crack is lovely.

Wow, just beautiful.

Cheers.

Absolutely wonderful!! Looks like the fleur de lis released beautifully. Lovely soap.

 

[Lynnz]

Woohoo they are fantastic, all beautiful creations I just adore the black vetiver soap especially. I have also been eyeing up Bert's Fragrances as they are such a good price!!!

Your soaps are amazing! I wish I could swirl as well as you do.

 

[ToniD]

So pretty! The honeysuckle is so appealing in its simplicity, and your molded soap came out so well! (I have not yet been brave enough to try a decorated mold with cp) Just a great bunch!

 

[NancyRogers]

Thank you all so much.

 

[holly99]

They all look awesome! I especially love the liquid crack one though.

[ewenique]

Lovely soaps!

Wow Nancy, you are a prolific and talented soaper! Wonderful pics

Thank you! I used TKB's pops for that one. The base is Orange Pop and the swirls and Blueberry Pop and Grape Pop. I finally figured out how to get real purple...use very light OO and a bit of TD in the lye water.

By light OO, do you mean a lower percentage or EVOO?

By light OO, do you mean a lower percentage or EVOO?

Sorry. I wasn't very clear, was I? I just mean light in color. I've been using some regular olive oil (not evoo), that I got at Sam's Club. It's their Member's Mark brand. Works great in soaps and helps get a whiter bar than the dark green evoo I was using.

Nancy, those soaps are NICE!! Your swirling is great!! I really like the first bar as the colors are pastel (my favorite) and they look so delicately swirled. Well done.

Thanks for answering. It was probably me. I'm tired and not comprehending very well.

Lovely soap Nancy. :wink:

All great looking soaps! My fav is the lemon-colored one, but the Liquid Crack is second on my list for color....who thought up that name? Yikes, don't think my conservative customers here would go for it though, hehe.
