Ugly Bar Thread

[ilovedoxies]

This was my first salt bar. I used alfalfa powder to make the swirl and creamy coconut fo. It turned brown in a couple days. It was FUGLY but turned out to be really nice soap, just tough to look at, lol.

newbie, I am certainly not offended!! I like to laugh as well. When I 1st saw that soap tho, I actually wanted to cry! :cry: Then my family started sharin their thoughts on what it looked like...giant rice krispie treat, weird load of bread, & of course, brains! So I had to laugh. If we can laugh & learn from our mistakes or mishaps, then I think our lives would be happier!

Well, you should have seen MINE with the phlegm soap. Throughout the whole thing, it just got worse and worse. I was trying to save it- clearly failed there. This is what it looked like originally. The one on the left.

Then it separated and I was trying to stir it back together in the mold, which wasn't too bad but wasn't enough, and then I took my stick blender and stuck it into the soap, in the mold, and blended away, creating mucus. It still separated. So sad.

Doxies, I know it doesn't look anything like regular soap, but you could pass that one soap off as apple pie! Too bad you can't eat it (and also that it probably didn't smell like apple pie).

Newbie,

That's worse than gross. You owe everyone an apology for posting that abomination. On the other hand, its a runaway winner for ugliest!

 

[newbie]

Sigh. It was a mistake to post it right off the bat. Now no one seems to think their soaps are ugly enough to put on the thread!

However, I refuse to apologize. At the very least, it has put ugliness in perspective and in the minds of all the soapers here, their "bad" soap aren't altogether that bad if they're not uglier than phlegm.

Being a nurse...I want to get my wound care kit out. Looks infected. ;0)

Damn I wish I didn't move all my pics to cd's...... I must go digging, I have one that is gross...... I will try to find it.

 

[RikRaks]

I found them in photobucket!!! Hee Hee!

This was cpop! I never did cpop again! lol

 

[RikRaks]

This was the cpop before that one and it caught small pox! Like I said no more cpop for me! lol

Before going in makes me feel better:

 

[PrairieCraft]

RikRaks it looks like you have the new worst. All of my CPOP's did strange things as well. (not that strange)

I found one in a box this week that had too much water and too high of a superfat. Not grotesque like these monsters but pretty bad in a dried out and shriveled way. Off to take a photo...

This thread is fun.

newbie -

I'm sorry to say but I think RikRaks has you beat. Those soaps look really bad. Did you notice the one that looks like the mouth of the creature from "Alien"?

Oooh...I never thought soap would give me nightmares. :shock:

 

[RikRaks]

LOL!!!!

 

[newbie]

I laughed out loud! And called my son over to see "the black plague". He just stood here with his mouth hanging open. I was trying to imagine what it was supposed to look like, but I'm afraid it's beyond me. And the difference between your July 4 swirl and the end result is- well, it's put me off CPOP. (but it's not nearly as ugly as the plague)

This is like the soap version of rubber-necking at an accident scene. You just can't help but look and be fascinated by disaster.

THanks RikRacks!

And seriously, she and I can't be the only ones out there with the uglies

Post a few!

Newbie LOL my son (hitting 13) loves your soap and reckons it is like zombie cool :0) But would he shower in the dark with it :0) Thanks for sharing

 

[nattynoo]

Oh Rikrak - that cpop is tragic isn't it. U definitely take the lead!!

 

[Dragonkaz]

Wow RikRaks ... those pics do show a different side to 'making' soap! lol

 

[RikRaks]

I finally did something right, ugliest soap! YAY! LMAO :shock:

 

[newbie]

And why am I slightly disappointed to now be second ugliest?

 

[busymakinsoap!]
