Whoops! Maybe I shouldn't have posted that response. I don't think Val's still forgiven me for messing with her mind about her being the only person who couldn't get on the forum back in August.

I'm a bad, bad person.

Hee hee. :wink:

But we love that about you Hazel :wink: :wink:

You mean it's actually a redeeming quality? :shock:

 

[KylieO]

it reminds me of my Nanna's knitting she had tea cosy's, well a cosy for everything really, and they were this colouring, so i LOVE it

 

[adoptapitbull]

Aw, thank you, both.
The only thing I'm thinking is it may discolor, (which may be on my side) although I looked up the fo and it said no D.

If not, is there such a thing as re-rebatch? If not, I'll invent it :wink:

I re-batched the same soap 3...yes, 3 times! It was the first soap to sell out at the farmer's market!

PM me your address, KylieO, Id be happy to send you a slice

adoptapitbull, I know what you mean, I have some rebatched oatmeal, honey and beeswax that is one of my favorites!

Lmao! How the hell do i keep missing your posts?? I was a little worried about the spamming, glad to see you're on your game, Hazel.
Feel free to carry on an mess with my mind all you want. Luv it

 

[Hazel]

Thanks! I will because it's fun. :twisted:

Thanks for being so good natured about it. You have a good sense of humor.

Here's a f/u on my ass-ugly rebatch. I spruced it up with pretty packaging
I'm having lunch with four of my friends tomorrow, so I can't wait to give each of them a piece.
I have to say, as ugly as it is, it is REALLY nice soap.
I added an ounce of OO and moistened it with beer when I did the rebatch. Super sudsy and just oh, so nice feeling! All the soap I used was very well cured. It makes up in function what it lacks in looks!

Oh crap, I just realized that is a Maple leaf on the label. Lol, oh well. Fire me.

 

[Hazel]

Too funny! Don't say anything and see if any of your friends notice the leaf.

I think your label looks great.

I registered just so I could say how awesome your meaty rebatch looks!

See, someone else agreed with me.

That's mine in a nutshell

Love the wrapping, it's super cute... I didn't even realize it was the wrong leaf until you said something. I'm a bad Canadian-to-be

Get out! Not literally, I mean Welcome!
But that's funny.

Thanks, Amy- lol! To your defense, the focus really wasn't on the leaf, it has no bearing on what a great Canadian you'll be!

Hazel, I'm keeping quiet on the leaf error, even if they do notice, they're so nice they probably wouldn't say anything about it, lol.
That, or they want to continue to receive soap

 

[Sea Breeze]

I Love the rebatch! Confetti....and looks really great!!

 

[saltydog]

Thanks, Sea Breeze and welcome to the forum, you're gonna LOVE it! Lots o really great peeps here.
So..one more friend is coming today, so I had to make one more label.
I'll give my hostess the only soap with the correct leaf. The jig is definitely up now I like the oak leaf better.

First of all, I love the soap. It looks nothing like lunch meat to me. Looks deliciously handmade. Second I'm dying to know what apples and oak smells like. That sounds amazing.

And third, what program did you use to make your labels? They are LOVELY! And I would never have noticed the wrong leaf... LOL!

 

[llineb]

I'm pretty picky about how rebatch soaps look, and I think yours looks great! The colored flecks are really pretty. Even if it discolors, I think it has a nice, fine texture.

I agree...I like the flecks and the brown matches you scent. Very pretty!

llineb & tasha, thank you
Apples & Oak smells like fresh apples and wood. I'm really bad at describing scents, but.. it smells good!

I buy labels from http://www.onlinelabels.com/ to use with my m&p.
I love the finished look of a label on the back. I list the scent and the ingredients on there.
You're probably familiar with OL, (I read about them on here) but they give you templates to use with the labels. Sometimes I use the templates without the labels and just a piece of paper or card stock. It's very easy to use.

For this I used their cigar band template on card stock. They let you add an image, so I just google and save what I think would go well with whatever kind of soap/scent it is I'm labeling.

I love your soap! It reminds me of some of the home knitting my mother used to do. The wool had flecks of other colours in it ... and it was yummie and warm! I think your soap is yummie!

Thank you, Dragonkaz, that's so sweet, I like that. Warm woolly soap.

I don't mind rebatching. Usually it turns out better than the original - after all, that's why it's been rebatched! One batch I redid about 8 times - kept adding color and whipping it with a hand beater, until it looked decent. Turned out to be an amazing soap.

Your packaging is wonderful, and the rebatch isn't bad looking at all.
