Hey all,
For a long while i have been reading, watching and devouring many things(information wise) soap related. I have been "putting off" making my own soap, being very busy with school, as well as rather poor , again due to school; However, i have finally decided to give it a shot, and as a reward for getting all As this semester(so far) have just purchased a haul from brambleberry.
I started out with the cold processed soap making kit(comes with a mold, lye, OO, Coconut oil, Castor oil and palm oil, along with two ounces of cranberry fig fragrances oil.) I looked at that and though "this is nice and all, but i want something ambitious, something with my own spin on it" and so i purchased two ounces of ginger ail fragrance as well as some pink and green non bleeding colourants approved for CP.
The kit has enough for two, two pound batches of soap. My hope, or goal, is to separate the two pound batter , colour one pink and add cranberry fig scent, the other green with ginger ale scent, then ATTEMPT a simple mantra swirl.
What are your thoughts? I know this is a big project for a first time soap maker to undertake, but i really want to try my own idea. If it flops, rices, seizes, or any other horrid thing, i will still have enough for another two pound batch, where i will just leave well enough alone and try a "plain jane bar"
