I love the lavender one, I have lavender buds and did not want to put them IN the soap, now I know what to do with em.

 

[LJA]

Ok, first of all - your photos rock! Secondly, I LOVE that melon color!! VERY nice soap!

 

[wonderland]

thanks, guys.

 

[Rosey]

I love the melon color too! very nice! What did you use to color it?

 

[Guest]

ditto ditto -- very nice!

 

[wonderland]

thanks. i'm quite pleased with the melon jasmine soap. i'm not a huge fan of lavender but some of my friends are and i made that mostly for them.

rosey, i used tangerine pop mica for the melon jasmine and grape pop for the lavender with added TD.

thank you.

have you tried the crock pot method?

 

[krissy]

how did you get them so smooth? what does yours look like when you pour? is it pourable or do you plop it in?

 

[GrumpyOldWoman]

photos from start to finish with lavender....

my oils in the crock pot with colorant added

at trace with TD added to lye water. wish i hadn't added it now.

in the mold taken about 10 minutes after the pour and it's starting to harden

with buds added

i also added 1 tbsp of sodium lactate ppo to my lye water as well as the TD and silk. i don't take a water discount and it's kinda like runny vaseline. it pours right out, very easily. i pour in half then bang my mold a couple of times and make sure i spread it into the corners and then add the other half and do the same thing again.

 

[krissy]

thanks! i think i may have to try the sodium lactate myself

 

[Godiva]

Yours makes me want to try the crock pot method. Looks wonderful!
