Summer soaps

[renata]

Hello!

I'm new here on forum :wave: I have some photos to show you. I'm new at this so be kind. My first batch was made in may 2013 and since then I made 6 batches. I have no photo of the first one, because hmm it doesn't look very good.
Last two batches are still on the curing rack. So here are 2nd, 3rd and 4th batch of soaps I made:

Floral scent of plumeria

Marine fresh scent

Sandalwood, vanilla and coffee scented soap

Thanks for looking!

I love the soapballs and soapcurls! great job

Well, what you lack in experience is made up with talent. Those are lovely!

You have a wonderful artistic flair! I love the simplicity of your labels and packaging too, very nice job. Might I suggest that you cut your soaps a little thicker? I find that thin slices seem to wear very fast in the middle, then break in half, and leave me disappointed with soap leftovers that aren't very useful (though I do use them at the kitchen sink). I can't really tell how thick they are, but anything less than about an inch is too thin for my needs, but that may only be me. Just a thought...

Really lovely soaps, Renata!

Not sure what's happening ,all I can see is crosses and no links to photos.

Very pretty and quite artistic soaps! I agree with Paillo about size.

 

[savonierre]

They are very beautiful soaps.

 

[renata]

Thank you all so much

Paillo, thank you for your suggestion - I totally agree. My dad made new mold/cutter (all-in-one) for me few weeks ago and the last soap I made (I don't have pictures yet) is allready cut into a bit smaller and thicker pieces.
These soaps were all made in a little wooden drawer and cut by hand with a kitchen knife

Lovely! By the pictures I'd never know you were new to making soap. Beautiful work.

Very pretty soaps. Love the way the pictures have been taken too.

I'd love to see your new mold/cutter, Renata .... I've been thinking about how to do this for a while, but haven't yet managed to convince someone to make it for me!

Saswede, I'd like to show you my new mold

Here are some photos of cutting my newest soap - my favorite scent od Blackberry&Basil:

It's a very simple mold/cutter. The greatest thing about it is that is really cheap and custom made. It holds recipes with 800g of oils.

Very nice, Renata! And thanks for posting the pic.s. Perhaps if I show the photos to my DH he'll be inspired to help me make 1 (or 2 or 3)!

Saswede, I'm glad I gave you some ideas I hope we will see some pics of your new soap mold/cutter.

cerelife, thanks - it doesn't look as gorgeous as it smells :grin:

kellistarr thank you!

I'm so happy that I registered on this forum. It is nice to get compliments from other soap makers.
