Post your Castile Pics

[MoonBath]

This my first castile, made with red wine and scented with cranberry-orange. I got a partial gel; it was VERY unattractive so I rebatched (my first rebatch!) and now I love it! The round one in front is from the original pour. I left it out of the rebatch for comparison. Think I really love HP.

Wow that is a great color! Did you add colorant to it when you hp? I've never rebatched so you are one up on me.

There's a little crimson sparkle mica in the batter and dusted on the top.

I feel like I'm running so late on making these! Everyone else is way more organised. I used my old olive moulds which I only trot out for castile and did a straight 100% olive oil, unscented. I've loved looking at all the other ones on here. They all look so creamy and lush.

I'll have to get pictures of mine. I had never done castile before, but I like how it turned out. I made it just before Christmas, so it will be ready to give as gifts next year. It is such a beautiful creamy color, but it has a really impressive layer of soda ash on top--probably 1/8 inch think, and covering the whole top. I've got some trimming to do!

I love the mold you chose derpina, they are beautiful

I forgot to discount and used full water also... Mine took 2 days to unmold, and another day out of the mold before I could cut, because it was still sticky and soft. Dunno if mine will turn out white or not. My olive oil was very green, so my soap so far is a pretty creamy yellow.

Oooo looks gorgeous to me. Love that pencil line and the colour is lovely.

Thanks! First pencil line. Turned out ok, I thought I had more batter in the mold than I did when I did it, so it ended up lower in the soap than I wanted it. I wanted it just ABOVE midway, not just below. lol Oh well. I should mark the half-way point on my molds for next time. Hmm.
