THANKS!

CP is the abbreviation for "Cold Process" soaping method. It is the method that does not add additional heat other than the natural reaction of combining the ingredients.

Hey lady, I just love those soaps! I'm really pressed for the sunflower seeds! I must have come back and looked 10 times!

Well thank you for the inspiration!!!
I made my own Watermelon Soaps today using MP. Much easier for me since I haven't learnt anything else yet. They don't look as nice as yours but they look like a slice of watermelon never the less....

kwahlne - how do you get the two bottom layers to stay separate and not mix? I tried this once and it ended up a mess.

Do you pour those two layers down at a thick trace and then smooth it out with a spatula?

Hi Brian,

I pour the first layer in at about medium to thick trace and jiggle the mold around to smooth it out. I let it sit for a few minutes while I'm stirring the other two colors. When I think the green bottom is thick enough, I take a spoon and dribble a small drop of white batter to see if it sinks. If no, I gently spoon this layer in and then jiggle around to smooth it out. I wait a few more minutes and do the same for the last layer.

HTH!

That's normally what I do with all of my layered soaps also.

Yours are fabulous. It's an inspiration for sure!!

Watermelons are the best things about summer, and these soaps are a beautiful reminder. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, jadiebugs!

I think they look a little purpley in the picture. They are actually a kind of dark pink, really. I love them too! I will finally use one tonight!
