2lilboots soaps again

[2lilboots]

Oh the trouble with NG Christmas Cabin FO. This will be the last soap I use it in. It just turns plain soap batter into a weird funky color that I do not like. The top batter is without fo and with TD.....look at that glycerin river! . Anyway, I just wanted to use up the little Christmas embeds that I made. Plus I put chopped up peppermint soap in the main soap batter.

NG Roses and Violet FO. I finally got the chance to use the roses that I piped. The swirl is from using a whisk and just twisting it through the soap batter. I watched a lady on yt doing that when her soap batter was too thick to do a hanger swirl.

Is it too soon? This is what I have been working on all afternoon. NG Cranberry Relish FO. You can't see the base, but it is pink. The embeds are unscented as I made them about two months ago.

Chocolate Fudge and Peppermint fos from NG. Cocoa powder and TD for color. Kind of like a peppermint patty.

It looks like iced gingerbread, which I love

What are you making the cupcake soaps in? Looks more substantial than paper. Do you remove it when the soap is finished?

 

[2lilboots]

@ScentimentallyYours I use silicone cupcake liners. I remove them once the soap sets up.

Now we see what the pink soap underneath the frosting looks like.
Very nice!

NG A Thousand Dreams fo. Very strong fo. Behaved well. I used aloe juice for my lye solution and put coconut milk in my oils. Just having fun with micas and TD.

@2lilboots You are one of the soapers I admire most! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

 

[2lilboots]

@MomInWA Thank you. I hadn't soaped in years and just started back at it this summer. I chuckle when I look at my very old threads (2012-2013) when I first started.

I've made some very very plain soaps! Only had one batch that was so bad I had to toss it. We'll call that the "Dead Sea Salt Fiasco of 2023"...

Thanks for the inspiration! It's so amazing to see your soap art.

Wow! Looking at what you more experienced soapers are creating really is inspiring!! I realize I have a way to go!!! Love it!

 

[2lilboots]

@MichaelP thank you, but I just started making soap again after being out of the game for years. I just tossed several batches that had DOS. I am relearning everything. There is so much that I forgot.
