My new soaps

[dcornett]

I tried a new technique (new to me lol) with my tropical breeze, looked great at first, but I'm now discovering that coconut must discolor like vanilla, because what was a nice white bottom is now tan...and tan and yellow don't look near as nice . The other two are sandalwood citrus, and oakmoss sandalwood. (Mmmmm sandalwood :wink: )

Beautiful soaps!!

Those are all very pretty. Fingers crossed for your layered soap that it still shows the layers after discoloration. Discoloration can be such a pain for us creative types.

Pretty!!! And I also love sandalwood.

I really like the tan with yellow - maybe it's different in person, but in the photo it still looks nice. Sort of like sand with sun on top!

 

[dcornett]

Thanks everybody!
And thanks glenolam, I never thought of that, I only thought about how those two colors clash. :wink: I feel better about it now. I just hope it doesn't get much darker. :?

I think they look fantastic!

Very nice! I like the greenish one best.

I agree, the tan and yellow look very nice together. Love the wavy layers too very cool.

Thanks

Wavy layers are SO cool! Great job!!

Frustrating when scents darken, isn't it? Lost all my pink confetti in my granddaughter's pink sugar soap. I was hoping the vanilla wouldn't seep into the pink -- WRONG. She's only 7; she loves it anyway.

very frustrating! I just ordered a pink sugar from ng, but I've read so many posts that it discolors so I'm not expecting to get a pink by any means...but it would've been nice. :roll:

I'm afraid you will get a dark brown with this one. You could leave some of your soap unscented and color that part. Then you could have some pink swirls or a pink layer with the brown. I have some of this FO on order and that's what I plan to do with it. I don't usually like FOs that discolor, but this one smells so yummy that I couldn't resist.

Nancy, post if you have good luck layering pink with Pink Sugar. I put (rather large, I thought) unscented bright pink chunks in it, and topped it with pink chunks. That was last October. Can hardly see any pink now, and what I do see of them is just a lighter, muddier brown. I'd post a pic, but I sent the last 3 bars home with my granddaughter. BTW, the pink turned within 2 weeks of the pour. :cry:

I love these. Very nice. I am a big fan of varied colour combinations. I believe I mentioned this in a previous post recently in that the varied colour and scent combinations remind me of my favourite soap box at London's Fortnum and Mason. It's a soap by "Heyland and Whittle". Here it is:

Yours remind me of this too.

I've never been able to afford a box though. LOL.

Warm regards,

Thanks BakingNana, In that case I probably won't try to get around the brown, not with this batch anyway, it's just a small trial run. :wink:
