Watermelon, Pear/Avocado

[Relle]

Here's my Watermelon.

My French Pear/Avocado. Need a name for this one.

Love them both!!!!! Swirl on the Avacado/French Pear is cool Yummo!!!!! Great colour pink in the watermelon. I have the most amazing oil here from MMS that a dear USA soaping friend sent me called Kalamari Melon and I so need to soap this but no ideas what colour a Kalamari melon is so guess I should go google

 

[Relle]

Thanks Lyn, never heard of a Kalamari melon, only Calamari fish .
I put fresh Avocado mashed up in the pear one, haven't tried it yet, must go and check my notes to see when its ready.

WOW Relle, i love them both. love the layers in the watermelon. i'm itching to do a watermelon myself

love the idea of avo in soap but have not read anything so off to do some research. it oxidises so quick generally but has kept it's colour in your soap, very pretty

 

[PrairieCraft]

I'll take one of each. You guys and this watermelon soap, it's killing me, gonna hafta try it. Is it scented with watermelon FO? Does it stick, do you like it and does it really smell like watermelon? I might cheat a little and do a seedless watermelon since those are so popular. I bet there are little kids out there who don't know what a real watermelon looks like.

 

[Relle]

Kylie I just mashed up some avo and put straight in the soap, think it was only about 80grms.

PC it has watermelon FO in it and does smell like watermelon, a very gentle smell, I've only soaped it last week so too early to tell if its going to stick, but I'd make it again anyway. I 've had this FO for a couple of months and have been wanting to try it, maybe cause we are going into spring and the weather is warming up its got us going.
Make some - I dare you .

and then you can eat the rest on toast with tomato and lots of pepper, woohoo

 

[Relle]

Yum, your making me hungry, think I'll go and make some bikkies or scones for morning tea.

Love them both. Is the pear/avocado an ITP swirl?? It's a very unusual swirl.

 

[DMCC]

Both soaps are so beautiful. Great job!

Thanks for your lovely comments, and yes its an ITP swirl. Not sure how or why they turn out like that, but they do.

Really lovely, both of them!

 

[Dragonkaz]

Relle ... two more of your wonderful soaps! Love them both!

Avocado ... had never thought of adding it to a soap ... fantastic! Does adding the 'real deal' add anything to the quality of the soap?

 

[Relle]

I have no idea Kaz, just wanted to do it and I had quite a few avo's as they were on special, you know how it is and I haven't tried them yet cause they're only a couple of weeks old.

Amazing soaps! I've added avocado puree to soaps before. I think it adds to the creaminess of the soap.
