I've made a lava log!

uuum :shock: wow. if you intended the soap to be black as pitch then you sure accomplished it! that is some awesome lava soap!
lol, but if you didn't mean for it to be black like that, please share what you did so i dont do it too!

either way you got an amazing intense black!


you could save this soap for Xmas time and give it as "lumps of coal"

lol, but if you didn't mean for it to be black like that, please share what you did so i dont do it too!

Same oils as this one:

lard
tallow
olive
cocoa butter
castor

I used frozen coconut milk as half the water in both. Today the oils started to rice when i poured the lye. I panicked and tossed in the FO (bay rum).
Its cooled off now and looks tan.

I think the oil temp was too high today. shruggs

:?: that is so weird! i see pitch black with not a hint of any other color...?

 

[CherryGardenGirl]

lol, I see dark orange too

 

[PrairieCraft]

Well, since we are all chiming in on the color issue; I see jet black.

 

[ewenique]

And as Sgt Shultz used to say - "I see nothing!"

 

[tespring]

I see orange also...I could not figure out what people were talking about seeing black. lol This is so strange.

 

[ToniD]

And as Sgt Shultz used to say - "I see nothing!"

That made me laugh!

I see black too.

 

[krissy]

so is it really black or is it orange? i wonder why half of us see pitch black and half see orange.... :wink:

 

[Twilitr]

lol i have no clue, i tired looking at it with different web pagers (Firefox, IE and google chrome) all got orange for me.

 

[CherryGardenGirl]

Its probably the color settings on our monitors! Pretty strange . . . makes ya wonder how many other times we've all been seeing different colors on this photo gallery!!!!

 

[krissy]

that is weird cuz when i put up pics, i see the same color as the soaps are, no matter the computer.
i wonder how many times we *think* something is so beautiful and the colors are amazing and yet the poster is complaining about them if we are all seeing something that isn't really there color wise... :shock:
