Lovespell

[thefarmerdaughter]

another from soapsupplies.net This one I'm very happy with! Suppose to be red white and black (like a White Stripes album cover \m/(**)\m/) I chickened out on the amt of charcoal and wound up with gray. But I don't care 'cause it smells awesome!!

 

[marghewitt]

That is beautiful. I also use their LoveSpell, it is my favorite.

Very nice!

I love it! I'm a HUGE White Stripes fan, so I love your inspiration for that. If you don't mind me asking, what type of colorant did you use for the red? It looks great!

 

[Hazel]

I think it looks great, too. I hope you're going to post cut pics...hint...hint. :grin:

 

[Skatergirl46]

Ooh, that's cool! I also want to see it cut.

 

[heartsong]

excellent job! so nicely colored! can't wait for sliced pics, too! ss.net's lovespell and blackrasperry vanilla are some my favorites!

 

[thefarmerdaughter]

Thanks guys! here's cut pics.
MegMatt927 The red I used is tkbtrading red oxide, darkened up with a bit of charcoal (it tends to go a bit rusty otherwise) Great to meet another White Stripes Fan! The song I had in mind was You Dont Know What Love Is, hence the Lovespell.

Nice soap that goes perfect with the theme! Love the swirls.

 

[Relle]

Love your soap, they are huge bars.

Your soaps look amazing! Fantastic swirls! Got any pointers on how to get such great swirls? Did you pour at a medium trace or a bit thinner?

How much charcoal do you think would be needed to get black, ie 1 tbsp ppo?

Thanks

Thank you! I had intended a zebra swirl. I personally like to do those at a very thin trace. I realize my trace was just a bit too thick for that, at a medium. But I went ahead a poured in that style any way. Down the length of the mold in alternating colors, at a height of 8-10 inches above the mold. Then I swirled in the mold with a spoon handle. On the charcoal I've used a tablespoon ppo and gotten a dark gray

That is fantastic looking soap.
