One more soapie

[Guest]

This is a plumeria scent. It set up in a matter of minutes . I could not get the swirl down into the soap at all.

just after trying to swirl the soap

10 minutes later

Beveled with my $3.00 Ronco Dial o Matic slicer.Not the best bevel .

Thanks for looking

That's very cool! I'm new to the beveling idea...Is it hard to do?

 

[michelleB]

Good save even tho it might've gotten away from ya! Pretty color choices for the swirlies too! Yep them florals can sometimes be real butt-heads to soap, lol.

Seriously...those are beautiful. Great job!

It is for me , cutting the soap is my worst nightmare.lol Is there a soap cutting 101.? Lots of soapers can bevel beautifully though , If I start with a 5 oz bar , I am happy if it weighs 4 oz when I am done massacring it :shock: .
There are bevelers that you can buy specifically to bevel the soap. I think I need to get one , soon.

Thanks LJA
Don't be skurrred , it is very very easy if you just want them on the very top of the soap. lol.

That's looks incredible. I love the creamyness of the soap and then the contrast of all the cool swirls on top. It's a beauty.

Kitn that looks fantastic!!! I love it & what a great save!

For bevelling if you're not ready to spend the money on a "beveller" you can always use a vegetable peeler.

No Lindy , I can't use a potato peeler , trust me , it is not pretty and I have to cut the bars at 7oz to end up with 4.5 oz. I am going to Lee Valley tomorrow .

Very nice!

Did you use your ND lab colours for this??

 

[Guest]

Thanks everyone ,
This was oxides and ultramarines. I don't like the way they morph though.I had pink purple and yellow to start. I am playing with my new colors today.

www.soapmakingequipment.com look under accessories for their soap edger-i believe it's around $25 and soooo easy to use!

if my house was on fire, i'd have to run in and grab this! LOL!

i've got 3 different edger/bevelers, and this is my #1 fave- a real "no-brainer"
