Thought I'd post a few of the soaps I made recently. Not all turned out as planned, but that's okay! All but the sweet pea are CP.

Left: cherry blossom FO with some mica to cover the bad tops and also on front. Might skip the front next time.

Middle: nettle tea soap scented with tea tree eo, 5 fold orange eo, lemongrass eo, and coconut lime FO because the smell was so bad! Smells like a light orange at the moment. Soap was green from the tea, but the orange eo turned it yellow. Mostly olive oil soap. I also used 1 oz ppo beeswax with a 40% lye concentration. It was very hard to cut in 18 hours and is very hard now. I'm very happy with this and it doesn't feel too waxy. No ash either. CPOP at 170F for 2 hours.

Right: Sweet Pea HP soap with 2% sodium lactate. I'm so happy with how smooth it is. It's a tad strong so hopefully it will fade. Colored with 5 drops of ruby red.

Front left: attempted funnel swirl. Scented with blackberry musk. Not my favorite FO. Too bad it smeared!

Middle: Seized Daffodil FO soap. I was trying to go for a fluffy white top, but this was totally solid. Dug out the mixer and beat it into submission. I refused to rebatch or HP my layers!!



Thanks for looking!
 
Wow, gorgeous! I love the colors! I'm definitely going to have to get myself some SL!
 
I really love the daffodil with the fluffy white top. I think they are all really pretty, good job!
 
I like that one also.......I am always drawn to yellows........those are really, really pretty.... ALL of them are really pretty as a matter of fact :)

Great work, Milla.
I love pastel colors for soap (so why do I always over-do color? LOL)
The whipped top came out lovely, but then I like the pink too -- they're all nice!

very pretty, milla!

love the sweet pea and daffodil, especially! the nettle has a pretty colored tint as well.

nice job! :D
 
Thanks everybody! It's been so much fun using my new peacock dyes. Tonight I'm going to try out Robin Egg blue. The nettle tea soap looks so creamy in real life, better than the pictures.
