soap I made last w/e 2nd batch ever!

[retropants]

I made some HP lime and poppy seed last week, I love how it looks, but the smell isn't strong enough, infact you can hardly smell it, oh well you live and learn!

Great presentation.

I like the the softness of the colour (if that makes sense)

Cheers

Those are really nice soaps, and I love the cigar band.

That's really pretty.

I love how you banded them, so simple, yet great. I am worried way too much about what my bands look like. Yours are wonderful Great looking soap too

Hey looks great to me! :wink:

 

[retropants]

thankyou so much for the kind words guys, it is very heartening, and encouraging, you are all too kind!!
The banding was just a quick 'what have I got in the craft bin' moment, and I remembered I had a load of coloured craft paper and a lovely wooden stamp I picked up at Camden Market in London, and hey presto!

Soapmakerman, I would love the picture to appear in my first post, thankyou! I have no idea how to do that! I uploaded it to flikr, in the hope that it would tell me how to, but alas, no!

Thanks again, I am going to add the correct amount of EO next time, so it smells nicer too!

I am so pleased I found this forum, you are a great bunch!

I really like your soap too, and the simplicity of the way you
took the picture of it. Very nice.

Very nice !!!! I feel like Ive been having the same issue with my scents not coming through as strong ! how much did you use per pound of oils!? I have been using 1-1.5 oz EO ppo...might also be cause my EO's are old!


Very nice job though!! Is that lime zest I see on top of that bar too!! I love the feeling of poppy seeds for srubbiness !

Great job!!

Your soapies look so pretty and expensive like the ones they sell for 15 dollars! I'm exaggerating the price but you get the point!

It's Beautiful!!

They do look devine. I think your packaging is very upscale looking.

Lovely colour

 

[therooshack]

great looking

I think those look great. some times things can get to frilly-fancy.

some times I just like simple things...eases the mind. hope your next batch turns out with the stronger smell you are looking for

Thanks Rhonda!
I've made afew more since then, and I am getting better! I'm still a little wary of adding too much EO/FO, but I'm sure I'll get it spot on soon!!

Nice!

Like the white and green.
