Botched batches..... *NEW PICS*
Ok everyone... AlchemyandAshes asked for it! here are two of my botched batches of soap. The first one is Spellbound woods. I had this vision of beautiful girly colors of blue, purple and pink all swirled together. Um, no. what I got was soap that traced so quick and heavy that I was scooping the soap inot the molds and despite tapping the mold, I got lovely air bubbles too . Adding to the terrible look of this bar is all the ugly bumps due to not premixing/melting my palm oil. Lesson learned. This was also made before i knew to mix my TD with water so i have white specks and the other pigments are specked too (they were water soluable and I mixed them in oil). To top it all off, I got a nice partial gel lol. *face palm* these bars are still sitting in a paper bag. they smell nice. Oh and one more thing, I didnt know that the FO turned soap brown so the edges are tinted with brown and so is the bottom and a few other ramdom areas. I put glitter on top and i hate that too.
The second one is an oatmeal mik and honey soap. It turned out good except for the fugly partial gel, the scrape marks from the oatmeal and all the ASH!!! .... thanks for oogleing. See, I make some ugly soaps too!!! :mrgreen:
