What soapy thing have you done today?

Cut my Wizard of Oz Dorothy soap. Happy with it!!

So clever! Wizard of Oz is my all-time favorite movie. Super impressed with your creativity.

I made a new soap with the colours inspired by the yellow and blue tapestry... think that type of idea might better be pulled off using a slab mold where you have more control of the design. I'm not in love but I don't mind it. Think it needs more white. Unfortuantely the fragrance (Butt Naked) has vanillan in it which seems to have changed the yellow to more orangey but so far it hasn't affected the white?? Someone thought it was reminiscent of a Van Goh painting - Starry Night maybe - I sort of get it. I wanted to name it something like 'French Kiss' but not sure if people will get that? What do you think?

My first attempt at a swirl. I think it was a flop . Better luck next time.

WHADAYA MEAN, 'FLOP'?!

I LOVE the colors. Makes me think of a sunshiny day. Is this HP soap?

Thank you! No, it is CP.

Looks amazing How can I make such picture? On a black ?

I recently discover an app called Photo Room. It can change the background of a picture. I use the free version so basically you can choose black or white. It works better if you take your picture against a black background. Then it just kind of darkens it and makes it look cleaner.

You can see the trio behind the yellow ones on the right side.. I'm just waiting on the handcrafted boxes then I'll be releasing them as a limited edition bundle. Excited for that!

Those are beautiful! I think you only use ‘natural’ colorants right? Can I ask you what you used? I’m trying to learn more about them. Thanks!!

Well done, @Mellicious ! Be sure to post the pics in the photo gallery if you haven't done so already. Hate to see them get buried in this thread.

ADORABLE!

I have a date with soap dough myself tonight, I'm making a Fight of the Penguins" soap

 

[TashaBird]

@AliOop i get good sparkles w NS Super Sparkle, but metallic silver didn’t work. May try to combine the two.
@GemstonePony yeah, I may have to settle for sparkly grey.
A friend gave me a $ gift and asked that I get myself some art supplies.
I got these and they’re SUPER cool looking! Now I want to pipe all the things!!!
Anyone else ever used these tips with the balls on the end?

Let us know how it turns out! If you can figure out how to make a metallic CP soap (not just tops), you will rise to another level of soaping fame, even above the pull-through fame to which you have already attained.

I think you meant to say “with this one is”. Lol

 

[TashaBird]

So much prep. Didn’t quite making to “actual” making. But prepped my squeeze bottles (quite the process!), blended my EOs, and prepped my colors.
Blending micas more than previously.
Also, plan on documenting which pull through plates make which soaps. Just been kind of a free for all so far.

It happens I have used all those things. The thing with the balls is meant to be pointed straight down, and then squeeze while turning it back and forth as you pull it up. It leaves a ball- shaped space in the center, that can then be filled with other piping or decorations.
The flat-tipped points are a dollop technique.
I strongly recommend practicing with all of them before piping on top of something you care about. Sadly, I don't have pictures of any of my finished items on hand.

Thanks! I like to make loaves with various things that I’m practicing. They’re usually pretty enough, and makes it more worth the effort. I can’t wait to pipe a bunch!!!
