Tiger Soap, Take 2, Results

[DWinMadison]

Here are the results of my 2nd attempt at "tiger stripes." Sorry, I'm no photographer...the light was horrible, and ripples make it impossible to photograph well...at least for me. It's a goat's milk soap scented with pear, almond and honey. I hope you can get the idea....not tiger stripes, but a very nice soap.

Very nice looking soap, and I really like the way you have it displayed Something I am going to have to work on for my pictures...

Dayrl,

These are lovely. I loved your previous Tiger Stripes, but these seem fitting for the fragrances you used. Also, with Spring and Summer coming, these are perfect.
May I ask which Pear F.O. you used and is it holding up to the Almond and Honey?
Beautiful soap.

Spelled your name wrong. It's been a looong day. Sorry!

Thank you! It was "Sweet Juicy Pear" by Crafters Choice. The Honey/Almond is also by CC, and both came from WholesaleSuppliespPus.com.

The pear is holding up great. It still smells a bit "medicinal" but there is residual ammonia because of the goats milk. I anticipate it will continue to mellow as it cures.

The 2nd secret I learned to making tiger/zebra stripes (1st was to be at a good light to medium trace) is to draw irregular "s" shaped lines as you pour instead of the more-or-less straight ones I made.

Those look great. I think they are perfect tiger stripes actually. Tiger swirls don't have to look like an actual tiger, it's just the idea that counts. Awesome.

They look great, perfect color for the scent! I like the crinkle cut too.

Thanks. MAN! (That's an expression. I don't think you're a dude?) I worked and worked to get more yellow into the green, but it just wouldn't turn.

Nope, not a dude. Next time if your yellow won't turn the green warmer try a tiny shot of orange, if it helps, add yellow to counter the red, then add more green to balance back if necassary. Coloring stuff is kind of a science and math, it all works the same every time.

Thanks. Thats a great idea. I think there's more blue in my "green" than I realize.

Those look great! Very clean and crisp.

I raised the sf to 7%, which I believe is going to make a huge difference in how they feel.

I agree with the above. The soap looks lovely, and your staging is wonderful.
