Trying....

[Bean13]

Well this is the first time I'm posting pics so I hope it turns out.
I only have 7 batches under my belt so I'm still new as you can tell.
I should say we because I have yet to soap alone and probably never will. Soaping is quality family time. LOL
The darker picture is soap we made yesterday (blueberry scent) but its still soft so I will probably cut later on tonight. The bigger brown one is the second one we made and its Cocoa. I really like this one. Lathers very well.

Hope this turns out.
I had pictures of the other soap but cannot find them. Sorry. :?
Me thinks me eraser them from phone


Edit trying to get pics to work..........Sorry their big...

I can only see one pic. It was so dark that I put it on Photo 9 and lightened it. I don't know if the color is correct after I lightened it but the soap looks great. Is it really violet or is that just my monitor? I also like the top you did. Makes it look fancy.

BTW, I like your signature line.

I LIKE THEM !!

 

[Hazel]

Okay, now I can see them.

Great swirls! Did you scent the cocoa batch?

 

[Bean13]

@ Hazel. Thank you. The colours I used were a Neon Blue, Red #33 and TD from TKB Trading. I also put an Aqua wax like colour that says its for soap but I won't buy that again. Hard to break it all up with stick blander and it turned out grey kinda. On top I put some little soaps I made the day before with blueberry tea. The cocoa batch is not scented but it does have a faint smell of cocoa.
As for my signature, my boyfriend says that all the time and I think its funny.

@ cwarren. I'm glad you like. Thank you very very much. 8)

Lovely job and the little soaps are an elegant touch. Also, I'm so impressed with your swirls. I still can't do a decent swirl.

 

[Bean13]

Hazel, with the swirl we seperated about a quarter of the soap at very light trace. My daughter mixed about 3 tablespoons of Cocoa in the quarter amount and then we poured it back in the pot (did not stir) and then poured it into the mold at a medium pace. Other bars from this batch have much darker swirls.

They look really nice!

Please tell your daughter - great job! Umm...can I borrow her?

 

[Bean13]

You sure can, but don't expect her to clean up after your done.....*wispers* please please take her. She's a teenager!

:wink: :wink:

 

[Hazel]

Oh oh... :shock:

On second thought, I'm hundreds of miles away from you and it wouldn't really be right to borrow her because she'd miss too much school.

LOL Your too funny....good night.

 

[soapbuddy]

Pretty!

 

[glenolam]

Very nice indeed! I just made lavendar that's a purple swirl & found that if I pour the colored portion back into the pot at a heavier trace my swirls stay darker. I have a recipe for a cocoa bar that I'm dying to try....your pics make me want to leave work & make it right now!!

Ooooh the decorations on the top one reminds be of the the everlasting gobstoppers from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! (The original!!)

 

[chrisnkelley]

Those look cool! Love the second one!

 

[Sunny]

I love both! They are awesome!

 

[ewenique]

Very nice soaps!

 

[glenolam]

Is that a plain ol' garbage bag for a liner? How did that work for you?
