Soap Pot Weekend 7/12&13/2008

[Soapmaker Man]

What is everyone making/doing this weekend? Inspired by the recent talk about whipped soaps or floap, I made this this morning;

A customer wants 6 bars when cured. It is scented Lilacs -N- Roses. It didn't turn out like I wanted after adding my Goat Milk, but smells great.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I would never have known it didn't turn out the way you were hoping, LOOKS WONDERIFIC!!!!

Hey Paul, did you get to send my package out when you thought you would??? Haven't received it as yet, but am wonderfully anticipating hearing the UPS guy pull up and bring it to the door!!!!!!!!!

tootles,

Della

Yet another soap I want to eat.... they look fantastic!

I will be attempting my 2nd goat's milk soap today, with coffee grounds and scent.

Tomorrow, I MIGHT attempt the salt bar! Little nervous about that one... I'm going to do your 80%/80% rule, Paul. And I have to remember to unmold much sooner and cut! We'll see if I work up the nerve!

dumb question here .. what do you mean by .. not cleaned yet?

 

[Soapmaker Man]

I think "deo" is short for deodorant. She makes and sells them at her Etsy store. :wink:

 

[Tabitha]

First of all, what is a deo...

Yep, deodorant.

Nice! What types of colorants did you use for your yellow and orange soaps?

Thank you. I used the Select Shades coloring system. I'm still learning/experimenting with getting the color right. To be honest with you, I'm not completely sold on it. The colors always come out muted, which is good for some instances, but not what I wanted with the Orange. In real life the orange is not as bright as it is in the photo. However, the yellow cam out almost neon! lol

 

[Lexi]

Paul- YUM! I want to eat your soaps!

Tabitha- Sweet! I didnt realize you sold deodorant. I have to go and look around your etsy store. Hubby wants me to make some for him but its on the bottom of my list... :wink: I want to work on salt bars first... So I may have to just buy his deo for a while!
