SOAPFREAK

Well heck!! This is going to open up a whole new way to spend money!! I never would have thought rubber stamps would work for soap. I'll bet you've just started a run on all the stamping sites girl!!

Glo

LOL, yes I have!

I went to our Pat Catan's craft store and they had bins and bins full of rubber stamps for 2 for $1

You have to buy ones that don't have alot of detail though. Very simple.

Oh they are sooooo pretty my dear! I love your soaps!!! Humm rubber stamps you say.. I never thought of trying them either. I just figured you needed harder. HUM what do I have here!?

AH Wooster!! I have family in Mansfeild and I travel there quite often, I love it in that part of Ohio! Thats my relaxing/shoping vaca spot!

Oh that is so cool!!!!

Kristy,

These are rubber stamps?? Are they hard enough to stamp soap? I am confused :undecided -never thought a rubber stamp would work on soap.

Glo

Yep they are rubber stamps.

Oh yeah, they work really well on HP soaps. I have most success with CP & HP soaps done in the log mold after they are freshly cut. I stamp in mica first and just press down just enough to leave the impression.

OMG, I'm loving that soap! Did you use the nozzle to the pastry bag to make the divits in the soap? That is so cool. I've never used a pastry bag in my life, so I'm sure I'd be quiet inept at it lol.

(tries to beat Scented to the punch and just pm's my address directly )

You gals are so silly! I laid bubble wrap in the bottom of the mold, bubble side up. This is now my top instead of bottom. Then I poured the layer of lavender and then white.

I was hoping these would turn out better but the decorating tip kept getting clogged and the soap wasn't thick enough. I should try Nizzy's whipped soap instead for this.

Got a rack like yours....

But mine don't have soap on it... it's chock a block full of FRAGRANCE OILS. lol

Ahhh, gotcha!

Your soaping is absolutely beautiful and so creative. I am just awed by the hearts in your soap. I think your pics came out great, I don't know if I would keep the stones in those particular pics, as I think your soaps speak for themselves. Other than that don't change a thing!!

BTW, where in NE Ohio do you live? I am orginally from Cleveland, OH.

I live south of Wooster, do you know where that is?

Oh so pretty!

Buy a rack like mine.

They are all so gorgeous, soapfreak! I have a question, if you please. When you put the plastic wrap on them, did you lay it right ON the soap or did you mean you wrapped it tightly around the mold? The reason I ask, is because I put the plastic wrap over my mold (there was still air space between top of mold and top of soap) and I still got ash. I'm finding I really don't like the ash mucking my CP up, which only reminds me why I switched to HP long ago.

I actually laid the saran wrap directly on the soap. I don't know if it will help with every fo though.

Very pretty!! I love them all! If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that adorable stamp? I've been looking at them, but it seems everyplace has the exact same ones. I just want something a little different, but I don't know exacly what yet..kwim?:undecided

I got that at a website called

http://www.rubberstamptapestry.com/

Thats why I switched to log molds as I hated when that happened.I'm sad I sold my upland slab now, as there are so many things you can do with a slab. They look fantastic today so crossing my fingers they'll stay for you:D. Did you let it gel or no?

I make goat's milk soap so I don't gel mine.

WOW!! How awesome. My luck I would get ash on the top!LOL

Funny you said that because we came home yesterday afternoon and it looked liked it started to ash just a touch and so I laid saran wrap over the soap very tightly. I didn't want ash!

Freakin' Gorgeous, and those are awesome pics. of the soaps, just don't know that I'd use those pebbles for those particular soapies.

I'd try taking those out and just use the black background and the soaps.

Yeah I thought of that, it's kind of masculine for the soapies. I wanted some of those pink glass beads but I forgot to get some yesterday.

I got to go home because of the bad weather so I got some cut photos.

I am a horrible photographer so excuse the photography.

Pretty, pretty, pretty!!

Cut photos yet? I'm dying to see this one, it's gorgeous!

Not yet, I just cut this morning and had to get to work. I'm going to try and get a photo this weekend.

Those are awesome! What do you cut your soaps with? I love it!

This moved faster than I wanted but it turned out ok.

Scented with Lavender Chamomile Huggies type.

This what it looked like before swirling.

Scented with SW Lovespell.

I always hated how my swirls turned out before on the lovespell so I decided to try something I have never done.

Colored with neon pink oxide and swirled with SS Red and Pearl white mica.

WOW..that is awesome!

what type of hp is it?

I did mine in the oven. Thanks everyone!

It took me a long time to decide on the name but I think this fits. Everyone on another board helped me pick a name.

This scent is to simulate what it smells like just after it rains during a thunderstorm. It has a stitch of dirt in there.

Stamped with a lightning bolt, cloud and rain.

They're Beautiful! What do you use to cut them with? Do you use a log splitter and a tank? What is it that you have placed the soap on for the picture?

TIA

Fire, who really loves you pretty, chunky bars!

I am using a cutter from Cumberland Acoustics which I absolutely love. That's the cutter the soap is on. It has the measurements on there for you.

Ok, like you weren't already great at those pretty CP swirlies now you have to dominate the HP scene too?

honestly I don't get how you HP folks can get those pretty bars! Mine never turn out so divine! (probably the GM and that if I HP it's usually a rebatch....go figure! )

I use powdered gm in mine also.

I don't know why I'm on an HP kick lately but I excited to soap this blend. My friend dish member "Babs" came up with this awesome blend of NG Clean Breeze, Tenn. Lavender Milk and Baby Powder.

I love this stuff! It smells so clean and fresh. Hence the name!

I colored with 5 colors. Everybody on the dish had great ideas of colors, I just had to do all of them.

I whitened the whole batch with td first, then separated out my colors. I colored with Ultra violet, pink, chromium, blue and for the yellow used Celestial sunshine.

Sorry double post

Good job, Donna!
