Well this is another soap that challenge that Amy Warden is doing . Of course I was doing a test run with one of my favorite scent Juniper Breeze! This one did not turn out the way I was hoping. It kinda moved fast so i was not able to gt the swirl the way I wanted. But this is just for practice, got a few more to make. I used mica colors from TKB trading. These in neon red blue and white. The fragance I used was from Nature's Garden. I also add goat's milk too! This was my 4th of July soap.
Omg i could not for my life get this to upload on youtube. I`m still figuring out how to work this phone. I`m better wih my camera.
Anyway the soap was still way too soft to cut but I did anyways and I really like the colors I have choosen. Reminds me of sherburt ice cream and smell kinda of like.
I used plastic water bottles as my squirt bottles. Had to be creative. In the blog prior to this one it shows or has the reason I use the colors and fragrance.
I hope you guys enjoyed my blog I try to put it on youtube but things just did not turn out the way I wanted them too and I'm still like I said you knew at using this phone and I didn't know how to get it over.
This was the 1st challenge that i met some difficulty! I was not prepared and of course i had to improvise and use what i had! I had planned to do this over the weekend but I was out of town enjoying the cold wheather of Monterey CA. It was way toooo HOT to stay in town.
Any who back to the soap this was made using Amy's bastille recipe but I used pomace Olive oil which maakes some of my colors a little off! Anyways I chose 6 colors neon pink, orange, yellow, green and ragin raspberry and titium dioxide all from TKB Trading. I was going to use the neon purple but it morphes to pink in cold process soap. Found that out while back when I was making a soap called purple princess now called pink princess.
The fragrance is hard candy from save on scents. That was an easy scent to work with as it did not accelerate or any other negitive thing. Not sure if it will go dark says it has 6% vanillin and that it can discolor to lite tan but we will find out tomarrow when I unmold. I hope it wont bee too bad cause i really lke the colors i choose. The scent is described bright mouthwatering and also smell like sweet tarts or starburst.
Unmolding tomarrow or late tonight cause i have to post it by 2pm est. Thanks for reading.
Oh my gosh what can I say about this awesome scent we all know and love perfect to work with and it doesn't turn dark like other fragrances with vanilla.
The colors I use was charcoal black a purple pop Micah from TKB which unfortunately they no longer have and the titanium dioxide which is the one mix with water.
Ok so this was not supposed to look like this. It was supposed to be seperated with a blue mica line. The bottom color was to be red and blue swirled into the nartural color and then the top swirled with pink and purple into the white. As you can see that is not the case. I do have to say it smells hecka good!
Im not sure whats going on with me and my lcack of creativity but its getn on my nerves. I know its been a while since i have made soap but come on i still should have it! Of course you know ima keep making until i get it right!
So until next time HAPPY SOAPING!
Here's another attempt at making the tiger strip soap! I know im way behind way behind! Like its 3 soaps behind! So anyways im really liking the colors i used the neon pink and charcoal black and the white. Another soaper used the same colors and it was real pretty! This is the black berry vanilla fragrance oil which is multi color friendly. But for some reason it kind of thicken up while i was pouring into the mold. Not sure what to call this soap it so pretty!
More cut fotos to come!
Ok So this is my second attempt at doing the Tiger Strips. OMG this was a
challenge although I had fun doing it! Anyways it as doomed from the
beginning! I had plan to make soap last week so I premade my lye water
and let it set out to cool off and to have it ready when so I could add
the frozen goat milk. Well things just did not happen that way.One thing after another kept me away from making soap and before I knew it a week had passed by! Still the lye water sat uncovered not protected from anything or from anyone. I'm not sure I was thinking in my right mind because I know I'm suppose to cover the lye water when I'm not going to be using it anyway soon because it crystallized on the top and the water also evaporates. So that was the first problem! The next was when I went to go use it I had to remix the crystillized part of the lye water and add way too much water like an extra 4oz! That pretty much sealed the deal on this purfectly pretty soap.
