Here is my second attempt. I used sunflower oil in this one not olive oil and the colour is from red clay.

Wow, they look amazing.

Thank you guys, makes me feel a lot better, even though I was fairly pleased. Yes I used organic Cypriot Lavender e/o. I live in Cyprus and I buy my olive oil from a local in the village, again organic. I use it in my balms and other products. Thinking of making a fruity one tomorrow, want to...

Thanks Melstan, they smell great and are hardening well but as you said colour doesn't quite go with the aroma. Will be making more tomorrow and shall use another base oil and some colour. Also it seemed a bit thick when pouring, not like the tutorials I've watched. Any suggestions why that...

Here is my first soap. I used lavender e/o and it must be green because of the olive oil. Not sure if I like the lavender buds on top though.

Thanks guys, loved it. Took a longer than I thought to trace but my new baby is all wrapped up in a blanket. Will take photos when I get it out. Am definately hooked and going to make more today. Your support means alot :wave:

Hi all, today I am going to attempt to make my first batch of CP soap. Only ever made MP before. Very nervous but excited. Will let you all know how it goes. Sue

Fabulous looking soaps and packaging. Love the look of the spearmint and lavender. How do you get the curved text. Been trying to do it but not having any luck. Sue

Lovely, I love the purple one as well, looks like an orchid.

Thank you both. Wouldn't recommend the water thing either as the water seeps through the twisty thing at the bottom. Did try the pour a little cool and pour the rest but then got a bit of divide when I twisted them up, attached but you could see the difference. Will give that a go again...

Hi all, I made a lip balm the other day and someone said stand the container in a little cold water to cool the bottom faster. Did this but they sank in the middle when cooled. Anyone know why. Sue

Try Butterbur and Sage. They have been around for a long time, their e/o's are very good and well priced. I have been using them for a long time and still do even though I now live in Cyprus +44 (0)118 9505100. Ask to speak to Sandy, he'll look after you. Another good supplier are...

Thanks, will take some later. Still making at the moment. Good luck with yours, its so much fun

So excited, I made my first layered soap today using natural colours. I used red clay and white clay with cinnamon and blood orange e/o's. Really pleased with my first attempt. Thanks to you guys for giving me the confidence to try Sue
