Hahahahahaha! Oh if only you could hold one. Not all boogers are slimey, you know. These are murky brown and look and feel like modeling clay. I can't even foist them off on anyone because they are just gross. They don't look like Bit-O-Honey in real life, that's for certain. If I offered one of these to a child, they would back away slowly, wide-eyed and then run for their life.

Sorry newbie but those are fugly with a capital F! I've made several batches that looked similar but without the cool modeling clay consistency. I think grumpy was just trying to deflect with the shiny hair comment ;)
 
THANK YOU, Doriette, for acknowledging their ugliness! Sometimes we need recognition for how dreadful something is. See, Not_ally? You are looking at the world through rose colored glasses. (teasing)
 
I'm sticking with the Bit-O-Honey prism :) I tend to think that most all doggies, homemade soaps and babies are pretty much nice/fun to look at, although I have seen some exceptions. I admit, Newbie that does sound a bit PollyAnna-ish, but I feel much less so about adult humans ....
 
I have a lot of fun looking at ugly soap as well as pretty as well, but I just don't know how you can think my troll bars are not ugly. Fun to laugh at, yes, but like candy? Agreed on the adults, 100%.
 
Wicked Witch - scary looking rebatched soap with a smell to match...the glitter was my (sad) attempt to liven it up

Yes, I pretty much only reach for the glitter when I have made a mess of the top by overswirling it. It never helps, but I can never resist :) I have one of those waiting to cut right now, I hope the inside is better than the outside!
 
This one started out as white soap with a pretty black swirl with orange so & banana and coconut eo. Charcoal soap riced up, I overheated the soap wrapped in towels and it just oozed out all the fo's & eo. Then a pretty bad rebatch...
 
That's really neat:) will check out how it looks after cutting as it's starting to smell quite sweet and coconutish now. If it's good I'll keep it for Halloween markets :)
 
This is my lavanda-lemongrass soap that fell down to the floor ( whole butch), when I was cutting it... Also a trace was very thick so secret swirl turned out not really nice. But I already have some ideas of confetti soap! :D

That ugly brown was a gorgeous blue when it went in - it's been rebatched but I feel that may be uglier still!!
 
I have to say I wouldn't have rebatched because the blended colors tend to look sickening. It's odd but not terrible, although I would have been very peeved about the morphing blue. Whose and which color was it? I have one particular design fail that I still shake my head at, but heck if I was rebatching and ending up with more modeling clay soap! I'm slowly getting rid of it, telling people they have to take an ugly along with the good.
