That is so zen! Beautiful

I used Breakfast at Tiffanys - It is very complex ... Like eating breakfast with your man wearing cologne??? Interesting don't know how I feel about it yet. I didn't get any discoloration and HP'd it > UPDATE Breakfast at Tiff - ECK Very masculine finish to it. Sweet then masculine. I don't like it. I can't figure if it's for a man or a woman ... it's just not my cup of tea.

Brown Sugar and fig is yum! No discoloration as far as I can see so far - HP'd
HP:
Also did Sugar Plum Berries - nice and very holiday smelling. Sweet with what smells to me some Juniper in it. I think this will be nice as guest soaps sitting there scening the bathroom - reminds me of Christmas

CP a proper scent evaluation can be done in a few weeks:
Stormwatch - fresh scent nice
Passionfruit & Guava - Nice fruity
Wild Mt Honey - OMG I want to eat it!

Will post pics later ... poured last night - no noteable issues. I think Stormwatch speeds trace a bit.

Here is Blackberry Sage... it smells great and no discoloration. I'm going to do Black Canyon next.

Is each of those an individual bar? It's super-beautiful!

Pgnlady - beautiful swirls !!

Yes they are. They are 4x2.5x1.25, it's a large bar of soap

Yum! That looks great!

I used my first Peak sample today. I used Lemon Pound Cake and made a Lemon Poppy Cake soap using CO and OO only. Looks like no discoloration so far, turned out a nice natural yellowy color perfect for the scent, but haven't cut yet.

Wanted to add - it would be nice if we had a chart we could all enter discoloring or accelerated trace for the fo's we use from Peak. I'd be happy to start one unless there is one somewhere already. I tried a google search and couldn't find anything.

Great idea!!

I would love to have something like that!

BTW, just soaped Bayberry. Batter turned med brown by the end of the pour and it did accelerate trace. I had unscented portions for coloring- big difference between the two, esp considering the amount of stirring I did to get the colors incorporated. My cool new TKB colors, sigh. Don't know if the holiday colors will go with brown. We'll see.

ALso soaped French Vanilla and Amber, which I expected would turn brown. Batter turned nice and white and it did accelerate- and this I soaped cooler than the other. I may have to go with room temps- everything seems to be moving along on me. My unscented portion was like water comparatively. I expect it will darken quite a bit with gel.

I'm no good with spreadsheets but I would LOVE the resource!

wow those swirls are fantastic...how did you do it?

I took two scoops of soap in different bowls and colored one sage and the other purple. I put a layer of uncolored soap in the mold then drizzled the two colors on top. I'd take a screwdriver with a flat head and swirl it through the mixture from a sideways angle (as sideways as I could get it in the mold anyway), repeat 3x. Then I put a thin layer of the same on top and swirl from the top vertically, but not into the soap, just the top layer. Hope that made sense? It's hard to explain through messages sometimes..lol.

Pgnlady, that is one of the most beautiful swirls I've ever seen! Gotta go make me a cup of blackberry sage tea now.

Okay - I made up this spreadsheet for the Peak oils. I've only done the Lemon Pound Cake so far and put that one in. I can try to add things to it as I see people comment on them.

You all can edit the spreadsheet as well so that you can enter your data. If you soap a fragrance that is already filled in, but got different results, just click on the fragrance, then click insert, then insert row below. It will pop up a new row under that fragrance, and then you can put your data in too.

I'm not 100% sure I copied the right link here, so if it does not work, I'll fix it.

great idea spread sheet, I added what I can remember.
I usually hp black canyon and put black lines in it, it doesnt dis too much. I did cp it and it looked ugly, cant remember what color I put in it.
Mediteranian fig smells awesome, I put it in lotion, kind sweet though.

 

[pgnlady]

Awesome spread sheet I filled out the two I did so far, Blackberry Sage and Black Canyon (CP).

 

[cwarren]

can an administrator make a sticky ... for this on its own ??
that would be GREAT ..

 

[chrisnkelley]

Glad you guys like it. I think it would be nice to have as a sticky too. I've got 20 more scents to try and will fill them in as I go too.

PLEASE let me know what happens with mango papaya - SO yummy but seperated TWICE on me so I will try once again and HP it.

I made a batch of mango papaya today...so far so good. It traced faster than usual....but I did a 33% lye concentration for the first time (I've been using the defaults on soapcalc). Not sure what caused it because I did a couple of different things than what I did on my previous batches...and when I poured it into the mold, it was very very thick. Will see what it looks like tomorrow!

 

[newbie]

Pgnlady, how did you Black CAnyon go? DId you soap it cold or get any discoloration? Any pics?

Thanks for the spreadsheet!!!!!
