Not bad outcome after 3 month hiatus

neeners · Sep 29, 2014

I moved countries back in late June, and finally have soap molds and made my first soap the other day.

I tried to replicate this http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=41926&highlight=africa

and ended up with this..... overheated a little, but not too bad for not soaping after a while!

Welcome back to making soap. I think it's pretty.

I know which soap you are referring to without even looking at the thread. That was an awesome soap that person made. Yours has the smile, which I love and I also love the fineness of your layers. Well done!

Very beautiful!

Wow, great rendition! I was inspired by that soap too but never could have come so close. And you were even out of practice! Nicely done :clap:

Moving countries is so adventurous. Will you share where left and where you landed?

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I will have to try it again and not have it overheat... maybe find some other spice EO to swap for the cinnamon.

@CaraBou, I was living in Barbados, and moved back to Toronto, Ontario.

Beautiful soap! Glad to have you back and soaping.

Wow, talk about two very different places! And we're coming into the season where may be most apparent, lol!

Welcome back. I love the look of the fine tiger stripes :smile: Did you use clay for your base color?

Love it! Nice colour on the base, was it just the clay that made this?

neeners · Oct 1, 2014

CaraBou, yep! I'm kind of a polar bear, so the year round Caribbean heat was too much for me to handle (among other issues).

the base colour is French red clay, white is TD and black is activated charcoal. even though I put a lot of clay for the base, it doesn't discolour the bubbles. I was worried when too much got dumped in (but glad it did b/c the base colour turned so vibrant!)
