    Soap decorating experiments

    I wish I could say "Aha!" but it would be disingenuine. I think this thread didnt get responses because it was moved [from Photo Gallery] right after I made it. Thank you for the response and I will [continue to] check those threads.

    Soap decorating experiments

    Looks like I was right. I have 0 soaps to look at besides my own. This thread was not aimed at beginners because beginners are just BEGINNING to understand the nuances of soaping. I wish I could move this thread myself but I guess I will make a new thread with a less 'beginner' title.

    Soap decorating experiments

    Hmmm I guess only beginners experiment in decorating?? My thread was moved to the Beginners ' Forum but I dont know if I will get many replies here. When I was a beginner, I didn't worry about the way my soap looked at all. It's more important that beginners understand the chemistry behind the...

    Soap decorating experiments

    Been looking back at some of my experimental soap decorating methods and decided to create a new thread. Post your "didnt know how it would turn out" soap decorating experiences below. Success and failures invited! This bar is what I call a "petite"... right under 3oz. I had some odd shaped...

    Annatto infusion for color

    Heres a look at my annatto infused loaf with ac chalk line. I only used 15% (tw of oils) infused oil for this vivid color. If we go by the words of Crayola, this would be a Dandelion.

    All coconut salt bar

    All right. Sounds like my excitement is to blame. These are new bars so I will put them away to hibernate. My skin doesn't like high percentages (above 30) of co, but I was hoping that the sf would combat the harshness.

    All coconut salt bar

    I have been wanting to try a salt bar and possibly a 100% coconut oil soap with 20%sf. Most of the salt bar recipes call for large percentages of co so I decided to combine these curiosities. Having never used either, I was expecting a scrubby bar of creamy lathering soap. What I got just feels...

    Scent / Color Pairings

    I thought about it a bit more and for a more natural or logical pairing, teal could be an herbaceous evergreen type like cedar/juniper berries. Lemongrass is a deep golden orangey color. I color it with turmeric. Spice notes like nutmeg, cinnamon, clove I add warm tones from honey and let the...

    Scent / Color Pairings

    Teal, for me, represents the exotic. Citrus notes pair with most anything so if I were to concoct a TEAL I'd probably mix some pineapple with a little musk to deepen the mystery and round it out with a familiar scent like vanilla. I am well aware that I live in "left field" but I'm ok with it.

    I love the shape and size of these! Where do you get your molds?

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I think its fun to "play" with people's conception of scent by augmenting the appearance. Since people associate certain colors with certain scents, I sometimes pair the unexpected to create a more whimsical/fantasy fragrance theme. It's a worldwide marketing ploy and it's very successful. I...
