This is a full goat milk soap with all essential oils. It smells a bit like there is anise oil in here but there isn't. I added colloidal oatmeal and silk, beeswax and love.
I divided my soap into three equal portions and alternated the pour as if I was making a tiger stripe. After I used all the soap I took my hanger and went down into the soap and moved it back and forth as I came up. I did this across the soap about 3 times. I dolloped the soap that was left on the top and did a diagonal swirl with the skewer across and then back across the other way. Finished off with glitter, of course. I most certainly will try this one again....while holding my breath.
I wanted to make a white soap but I didn't get there, however, my cocoa line turned out good. This is a nourishing tallow soap. It has gold glitter on top that looks like gold dust. So that's what I will call this one. Since I live in Las Vegas I should call it "The" Gold Dust but I won't. :)
Happy Soaping, Girls. If I can do it anyone can do it.
I wanted a soap to go in my bathroom. I've made plenty of lavender colored soap but I didn't have any orchid. This soap has cornflowers and poppy seeds on top for decoration. It turned out exactly like I wanted.
I left the base natural and did a swirl in a swirl for color. This soap was made for Vanessa because she wanted oatmeal soap. I added plenty of oatmeal with whole oatmeal on top.
This fragrance oil smells so nice and it is a dream to soap. No acceleration and, as far as I know, no discoloration. The only disappointment with this batch was that my new yellow mica was not strong enough to give me the contrast I wanted. I thought I had used enough but I see now that you have to use more with this mica. I left the base uncolored.
I added marigold petals, tarragon and poppy seeds. This is a new recipe so I won't know for a few weeks how it is going ot bubble but it was a pleasure to soap. I had all the time in the world.
Pink Lavender
This is a blend of lavender fragrance oil, lemongrass essential oil, and eucalyptus essential oil. 1.50 oz lavender, .25 lemongrass and .25 eucalyptus.
It is an easy technique done by doing two In the Pot Swirls. Pour your pink into your darker pink and swirl once with your spatula. Then pour that mixture into your cream colored base and swirl once with your spatula. Pour into your mold. Drizzle a bit on top, glitter, and you have a very pretty, easy to make soap.
I had a soap that I forgot to add the fragrance and I also tried doing the mantra swirl and cut it the wrong way. It is good soap but I really wanted fragrance so I grated up two bars and chopped up one. I made a 30 oz. batch of soap but added a full two ounces of fragrance and dropped in the grated soap. Then I put the chopped pieces on top. It really loved the way it turned out. I have 4 pieces of the old soap left so I'm thinking I will do this again. Wouldn't kids absolutely love this cheerful soap?
Now I need a really cute name that would capture the imagination of a child?
