What soapy thing have you done today?

[Hendejm]

Tropical Beach Sunset!
My failed ombré soap looks ok if I give it a title such as this.
And because it smells like frangipani it works on so many levels.

Beautiful! Not quite an ombré soap...almost rainbow. Love the orange on top!

Good job.
How much of each colour at did you use and did you just add it to your oils?

Your soap is beautiful, it looks just like my morning sunrise on this very cold Southern Ohio morning, Beautiful.

Thank you, I have my colorants in olive oil that has been infusing for 6 weeks and longer, I add 1 tlbs ppo in these I added the colorant after trace, I sometimes do add the colorant before the lye solution.

Color morphing is fun to watch. Nurture colors, scented with Lilac from Tamera - it's the best lilac on the market. I had plenty of time to play. The orange was last night after the pour.

I like the subtle colors. Can’t wait to see them cut.

Little lime and coconut soaps. Made in the moulds I bought for the January challenge. Thought I’d better use them for something else

Kiwi seems to have drinking on her mind I really like the shade of the soap Kiwi

 

[KiwiMoose]

I wanted a bit more distinction between the natural and the lime ( yes there are two colours in there) but I had to work quickly because the mixture was thickening up. That's the second time when using coconut milk that it thickened. Do ya think it's the coconut milk hurrying things along? Last time I blamed the FO, but this time I used a different one that doesn't accelerate.

 

[Marilyn Norgart]

its hard to see the coloring cuz of the glare off of the saran wrap but I think I can see 2 shades--did you use coconut scent? where did you get some that wont discolor--or did you use coconut milk and lime scent?
