Stripey Soap

[KiwiMoose]

Not quite as good as the one I saw on you tube - but I'm still quite happy with the result.

 

[Dawni]

You should be. I'd be happy too if I can manage that lol

Seriously though, I think I know what you were trying to do and I think you accomplished it. Great work as always

 

[SaltedFig]

How big is your house Kiwi?

Seriously - nice soaps.
(I'm not saying noice to you again, you picks on me ).

It's time you invented the Kiwi Swirl ...

I'm thinking of building a new house - using soap as the bricks. God knows I have enough of it!

lol at the house comment.

The soap is gorgeous. Looks similar to the technique I do.

Love all the different colors

 

[Hendejm]

I really like it a lot! I’m. I’m not sure I’d have the patience to mix/pour all those different colors. Are you referring to the YouTube video where she pours from bottles to resemble wood grain? I was tempted to try but too difficult for me! Well done!

I can tell you right now Mister, I ain’t ever messing about with bottles. This one is done by splitting off five colours into Dixie cups, and keeping the ‘natural’ colour in a pouring jug. Then pour five lines with your colours into the main jug along the top from front (spout end) to back. Pour this into your loaf mold along one side using a back and forth sweeping motion, with the mold tilted by resting on something. Once the top layer of stripes have gone from your main jug, add more and repeat. Fun!

And clean!

And just a tad slippery when it rains!

The soap looks amazing

How long have you been soaping for?

 

[KiwiMoose]

Since November last year.

Wow you are doing a great job to just be starting out

Wow you are doing a great job to just be starting out

Thank you
I’ve made about 20 batches now I guess? It started out as an idea for Christmas gifts and took off from there.
Better that than cigarettes or alcohol I suppose although I suspect either of those would be cheaper ;-)
