Yesterdays Soaping Adventures

[nattynoo]

I had a busy day soaping yesterday.
Thougt I'd share a pic.
Uncut.... rough and ready photo, the patchouli looks a bit messy on top but I turn my blocks upside for cutting/presentation. It'll hardly be noticable when cut.

The Candy Shoppe, You'll Always Bee My Honey, Choc Mint Chunk, Stinky Patchouli...LOL, Apple Mint, Licorice Lovers, Creamy Citrus Peel.

The apple mint was soaped with apple juice & the citrus peel was soaped with lemon & mandarin juice + peel. (both done with a water % replacement). The juice ones I've made several times & work brilliantly for me. In fact they r a lovely mild soap. I think the acidity of the juice brings the ph down... I'm no chemist though.



& this one has Orange Poppy Blossom, Vanilla Dream, Camomile, Lemonlicious & Summertime (aloe, cucumber, mint).



Thanks for looking.

wow pretty, what kind of mold do you use for the big rounds? & how do you then cut them?

 

[Araseth]

Wowee very very busy! those all look fab and such a selection ^_^

They are all beautiful. How do you cut your rounds? Pie slices? I have some things that would work well as round molds, but I was not quite sure how I'd do the cutting. YOur slices all look lovely with the distinctive tops!

Thank Judy... its a self portrait...(insert blush) a slightly skinnier version...lmao!! I drew it myself.

The big round ones are silicone moulds. I cut them into cake slices or if feeling super adventurous I cut them up randomly into 100-150gram chunks.

Silicone rocks!!

Beautiful soaps and I wish I could smell them! You actually use lemon juice as part of the liquid?

falldowngobump - yes I use citrus juice. I do a 1/3 liquid replacement. For the citrus peel one I used lemon & mandarin juice.
