Looking good! Ginger Lime sounds amazing.I made my first lotion today from a recipe given to me by a wonderful soaper on this forum. I really like it. Really smooth and not at all greasy. It was a small batch - 8 ounces. Perfect size for testing!

Thank you, Terri. What do you do differently? Yours look so much more like a real rose!
I remember the yogi bear show and apparently im half your age meena. Didnt know it was from the 60s though. Did you guys have the poddington peas?
I don't recall that one, but we did have children's books in a Paddington Bear series. I think he was a British bear ... but not sure now.

Well Marilyn & Meena I just think that is SCENTSLESS (senseless) hahahahahaha! Sorry I just had to do it
Thank you, Terri. I am adding that to my To Do List of soaping designs to try! It sounds like it can be a real surprise. How long did it take you to get your technique down to where you feel it is fairly predictable now? Or, that is to say, how many times did you have to try to get the look you got with the pictured soaps? They are so gorgeous, it seems almost impossible to manage without a lot of trials.I fill my mold 2/3 the way with white soap then pour alternating colors of green in thin lines down the middle. I run a hanger down through the greens exiting to the side of the mold and then begin to build my rose colors on top of the green line gently pouring down the center as I did the green lines only making them wider. when I think I have the right shape built I add white soap to the sides to contain the red and pink colors. I swirl the bud of the rose SLIGHTLY and then cover with the remaining white soap. I then pipe roses on top, add leaves, gold leafing and voila! That's it

Tried my hand at raindrop “swirl.” It’s in the oven now hopefully getting its gel on. Also completely cleaned and organized my soaping closet.

Only a $100? Is that some sort of conversion error?@KiwiSoap Did I not tell you about the $100 consultation fee?
Anyhoo - here's my grey sludgy confetti soap that was supposed to be purple. Yep - it's that same liquid colourant @SaltedFig - who knows what colour it will be in three or four weeks?
But at least it smells delish!
