peeked top of first swirl

[rubato456]

well i had to peek....this is about 5 hrs post pour. the green isn't a very vivid color.....kind of sickly :cry: ......i guess you can see a little bit of marbling....oh well it can only be upwards from this.....i'll cut tomorrow am it's firming up but no where near ready to cut.

I think it is elegant! Very natural and tasteful! Don't be so hard on yourself

looks good, so far, i had a perfect swirl hot pink then discovered i forgot some oil, threw it all back in pot and ruined my swirls, dont even know if it will work!

Rubato: you should be proud of yourself.
Yesterday I had the idea of swirling my shaving cream. Sounds easy enough...right?

IT WAS HIDEOUS! :x

Wait until you cut it. You may be surprised.

I think it looks very elegant with the fine swirls and the pale green. I like it very much . Way to go.

thx so much for your encouragement!

i'll be sure to post cut pix tomorrow!

Pretty! It reminds me of sandstone. Very elegant! Can't wait to see the cut pix.

so far, no pix :-(

the tuperware container i poured the soap into doesn't quite have enough flex to pop out the soap. and the soap is still somewhat soft, though it is gelled fine. there is a large surface area w/ a smaller mass (because it's a thin layer) so there is a lot of sticking power and not much weight to help when i try to flip it over to get out. i think i need to stick (no pun intended) to silicone molds or even the walmart container which is more flexible that this tuperware.

i'll let it sit a few more days and see if i can ever get it out......if so i'll post pix. if not...it's the circular file ;-)

Yup - let it sit for another day or so - once it's ready it will pop out. You may need to add some "flex" by pushing gently on the centre of the bottom of the pan once it's upside down - if it doesn't pop out easily after another day or so - you can pop it into the freezer for a while and then try it again.

It might still change colors on you some. But just the same it looks great.

I always line whatever I am going to put soap in with freezer paper.

usually these tuperware work fine...but i used a different one this time....it doesn't have as much flex as the other one i used.....i officially declare this a lost cause......i'm glad i only made a 1/2 batch......i think i'll stick to my molds i know will work.
