It really is such a difference , I had extra and that one didn't gel for whatever reason.

I really like the oatmeal one. I like how you cut using th curvey cutter on a slight angle 8) The un-gelled reminds me of brie. Great pics overall

Love the oatmeal one esp. What a cracking looking soap! 8)

How in the world did you get the petal effect with the soap pictured witht he flowers, or is that a trade secret? That is absolutely fantastic.

Thank you so much
The log was to wide to sit in the cutter so I had to turn it sideways . :wink:

No secret at all ( do soapers have secrets :wink: ) .I made soap balls ( planets) out of a not so great looking batch of lavender and set them in the mold in layers , traced soap on the bottom of the mold , soap balls ,then soap poured over a spoon , them more planets etc . I had little ones in there too , I think the soap fairies ate them.

I shred the not so great batches , and make the planets with the shreds. That is something I love about making soap , if you don't like the soap, you can reinvent it. I have had lots of practice reinventing.lol

I think I have some "Planets" in my near future with a batch of chocolate soap that went awry. Brown balls ( :shock: ) are kinda boring though.

 

[Guest]

I have lots of brown too , brown makes good choc chip planets , you could make an oatmeal with large choc chips , or a vanilla choc chip planets , or an oreo cookies and cream, or a manly man oakmoss with brown shreds. Or a very nice dirt soap.the possibilities are simply endless . :wink:

I have worked in a nursing home , your shocking comment made me laugh. OMG. Everything but boring let me tell ya.

Great group of soaps! LOVE the top on the omh. It looks like you've really mastered the art of the log swirl! 8)

I'm very jealous!

[Guest]

Hey Jude, there is no mastering there at all.I have a "new" hair pick with 4 teeth, it makes great swirlies on top if you move it in a figure 8 pattern. I got a package of 8 combs free from Avon, most of them make great soap making tools. ( well doesn't everything that isn't nailed down)?
