ode to spring

[Milla]

I have to tell myself to stop soaping for awhile! The kitchen is a mess, the yard needs to be mowed, I need groceries.....

I tried a basket weave pattern. Very fun! I wish I could say I scented it with something pretty, but nope!

Cool soap!

I love that color green! What did you use? Great job on the BW!! Unscented is nice too!

 

[Guest]

Nice soap who needs groceries when you can make soap??

I love that color green! What did you use?

Thanks! I used a little bit of green candle wax. I don't have any real green color yet.

I wish it smelled like gardenia!

Oh that green is soooo pretty!! I like the white squares in there as well!!

That is fantastic looking soap , love the color and the weave , way to go .
Who needs scent when it looks like that. I personally like the scent of a plain unscented bar of soap. Smells fresh and clean.

great soap!!!

the chores and grass can wait another day! LOL!

it's really hard to tear yourself away from this passion-you're either thinking about the next batch, chatting on the forum about the previous or preparing for the future batch...life goes on around these important things! LOL!

that's a nice perky green, too!

I moved the chores to Thursday! Groceries to Friday. I've got bread and milk so I'm good.

I just ordered some new coconut oil and FOs are on the way so there's no soaping today.

At first I thought the green was too minty, but then it reminded me of spring. I was going for something darker, but I'll take perky!

A lovely and inventive creation - the colour is just right - Spring is in the air

Beautiful soap! Great job on the basketweave.

Right now I had promised myself that I would wash my kitchen floor, but my youngest wanted to make some $$$ so ......this is much more fun!

Very clever.
How did you do that?

heartsong sent me a link to this website and I found the BW/checkerboard to try. I thought it would be fun.

I think my white soaps should've been about twice as wide but I didn't have the website open when I was cutting up my soap.

I love that! Very pretty and I really like the smaller checkerboard pattern that you did...great job!
