SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

[Saponista]

I'm happy either way. I only just made my soap so I need to give it some time to change colour so I won't be putting it up this week.

I was really not happy with the orange I used (liquid FUN dye from NG), so I just made a new batch today using the same color scheme, but with Desert Sunset Mica from Nurture. I'm hoping it looks less like baby poop, and hopefully this FO discolors a bit quicker, although I'm not holding my breath. It was only supposed to discolor to a light beige.

My color choice of Fanta Soda works for the Strawberry Soda as well the tangerine wow morphed to a pink. I'm. Also waiting for it to discolor.

Viv, this cracked me up. I admit, when I saw your first post, I thought that soap was perfect for this challenge ("gosh darn it, why didn't I do that, it is too late now!") But it still kind of is perfect, it shows how DFO's can lay waste to your plans! That is pretty much my strategy with my little ugmo soaps at this point, I don't have time to do any more.

I only say this b/c you are so friggin' good that I'm sure you will do another and I will end up thinking "why didn't I try that?" again.

Tviv, I think it looks kind cool. I think it looks like some sort of halloween candy. Is that weird?

Btw, I'm waiting to post the entry thread.

I finally got my soap made, and I was happy enough with it, so far. We will see if that stays true after the cut. Since I had melt & pour decorations and I wanted to CPOP it, I had to CPOP half of it, then pipe the top and then put in the embeds. That's okay though, because the matte white and gelled colors might look nice. If it all stays together. I forgot to spray the darn thing before piping it. I always forget something. The discoloring FO I used was BB's Turkish Mocha, which I did the bottom half of the soap with. I got a couple shots of it discoloring in my soap bowl already so hopefully it will discolor good. At first I panicked and thought it was he coffee grounds doing it, but I put those in my red portion too before I colored and the soap stayed fine. Whew. I used BB's 1st distilled Peppermint Essential Oil for the red top half. I made a pretty bad attempt at melt and pour peppermints and some sort of shavings for decorations. I put some coffee grounds in for exfoliation. There is a gold mica line separating the discoloring FO section and the red section. I tried to make it smooth and straight but...we will see!

Anyway, thanks for looking, and I am just really happy that I finally got to play! Everyone's soaps look awesome!

NA, I've already made another one which is turning out waaay better. I'm mostly irritated because I wasted 4 ounces of Black Amber Lavender.. That stuff ain't cheap!

Um.. Yes. My soap is butt ugly... It's has warts!

 

[TVivian]

That's really pretty Twysted! I can't wait to see the inside

 

[TwystedPryncess]

Thank you Viv! LOL that soap does not have warts! You give me the giggles. If it did it would be okay because Halloween is coming up, plus it does have the Halloween candy look. I think the 'background' discoloring FO looks kind of dark and stormy and actually pretty darn cool.

I'm finally going to make mine today! I hope I have enough time for it to discolour

Hahahahaha.... it has warts.... hahaha.... I gotta tell ya, that made me laugh.... I'm exhausted, can't fall asleep even after a 14 hour shift and I gotta be back at work in 9 hours, and I was feeling pretty dang pissy... and then I read about soap warts.... definitely put me in a better frame of mind... LOL

That is *super* pretty, TP. It will be cool to see what the cut bars look like, and what happens with discoloration.

 

[dixiedragon]

I'm waffling on doing a drop swirl with BB Nag Champa, BB Honey Beeswax and a vanilla that discolors a very dark brown.

 

[Sonya-m]

Here's the top, that yellow better discolour!!

 

[not_ally]

Pretty! I think a lot of us are threatening our soaps that they had better discolor (for a change .

 

[traderbren]

Pretty!

Yes definitely!! It feels all wrong wishing for it!!

I'm an American and I will say I preferred the English chocolate and ice cream I tried to the American varieties I'm used to. English ice cream was slightly less sweet yet richer. And Cadbury chocolate OMG.
