What soapy thing have you done today?

[KiwiMoose]

I made my regular rose soap today - mysister is my biggest fan for this one. I've moved my craft room downstairs since the last time I made it and do you think I could find the rose petals for the top?? So, naked it shall be.

Just cut my Princess Leia and What’s new Pussycat soap. My cutter screwed up a little, but it’s nothing I can’t fix. Also made pure coconut Dish Soap.

Those are so cute!

Packaged a few soaps and got them posted to my website, washed a mountain of dishes. Hopefully get to do more of the fun stuff tomorrow.

I bought stuff. Put a small order in with BB...thought I’d try some Colloidal Oatmeal and Tussah Silk, 3 FOs...one that accelerates, but I love the smell of and so I will take the chance, and a couple of Rose cavity molds to add to a hands-on demo that I’m doing next month for a crafting weekend.

Just cut last nights soap it turned out strange LOL. To recap, my FO started to rice with the bottom layer. It wasn't terrible and was able to pour easily. I let that set up and poured my black layer without FO because I became a sissy and didn't want to fight the rice.

I let it set up on top of the stove...no heat to clarify (cause I poured pretty thin)...so I guess about 20 minutes, before I covered with towels and cpop. My light in my oven blew out, so I didn't even have that to leave on overnight like I normally do.

The middle of the soap "rose up" it seems, to touch the towel covering the mold.

The lighter layer has a little td in it and the fo, the black layer is ac, no fo. I THOUGHT that when I cut it, that it would have been the scented layer that caused the problem, but it's just the top layer (with no scent). I had planned on cutting the tops off, but now that I cut the bars, I think it looks kinda neat.

Bought a month subscription to soapchallenge club for the tutorials.

It HAS to be cheaper than trying to figure out the soap design secrets on my own. I'm going to try the chevron soap again.

I LOOOOVE a tidy line.

I really like the soap, its simple but the lines are so straight and I prefer the color to a stark white. Happy accidents eh?

Thank you!! I love a nice straight line as well. I have been making some layered soaps lately, and have gotten the knack for the tidy line. Then I had one that wasn't so tidy, and it's an eyesore for me. "Throw the whole thing away, it's crooked" LOL

I think these would look good in a ts mold, but I don't know why the middle overheated, if that is in-fact what it was, which I believe it probably was. I just never had that happen except for a milk soap that I made once.

I didn't add as much td as I usually do on purpose, was just going for a creamy look. But I think it will get a little whiter as it cures.

I think it would probably look good in a TS mold. But honestly I think this look is so much more unique. And you have more area for the beautiful clean line.

I really think the line and the colors are so intriguing.

Like it's simple but so visually interesting to look at. The texturing at the top after you cut them adds to that.

Well done!

Awww....thank you. I actually got the idea from someone who created a soap last week (sorry, I forget who to give credit to). And I copied the design, except they used natural soap color for the bottom and I added TD.

I think it might have been @Ford

Well, I keep looking at this soap so there is a good chance I'll copy both of you at some point!

Today’s cuts...Cracklin Birch and Dragon’s Blood. Had to work fast with both of them as I use a lot of hard oils but I’m really loving the drop swirl lately.

Wow, these are amazing! How did you get the yellow inside the orange in the drop swirl, or was it by chance?

Thank you! If you pour the second, or third “drop” color in the same spot as the first you can get that effect.

I cut my itp/layered swirl from the other night. I don't know what I was thinking with the colors, so now it looks like a xmas soap LOL.

The smell is Living Coral Reef by CC. This FO decelerated my batter.
