  1. Glad I came across this post! I was just about to soap the raspberry, hoping to get a pinkish color. I also thought the strawberry was the one that morphed.....whoa i'm not looking for orange.

    What else can i use for a pink, besides neon of course....oh well

  2. Oh thanx so much! When tha vets compliment, I feel I'm getting it right. I thought layers would be so difficult, but it was really fun and not that hard.:highfive: Thanks to all of your help, this forum is so close knit and inspirational! That fear has passed and I've crossed that hump!:bliss:yay....

  3. I havent soaped all summer, so I finally had a little me time rolleyes.gif

    and made a batch.

    If you notice there's a cup sitting next to my soap that inspired

    my color selection. biggrin.gif

    Just thought I'd share, the scent is of course Juniper. It's also

    my first attempt at layering.

    In the mold

    The colors looked pretty dead on at first...

    Out of the mold...

    The colors looks pretty different now, like blue and lime, I guess it's the flash inside my homemade lightbox.:undecided

    It's suppose to be, Teal, mint and lavender!

    Well... it still smells really good.:D

    Thanx for looking.

  4. Thanx Gran. I used the foam liners at first too, but these are less trouble for me, no preparation. I used the GE Silicon II Kitchen & Bath, 100% Silicon Sealant. I used putty knives to spread the sealant! I havent used my slabs yet, so I'm unsure how many bars I'll get out of that one, since I dont make big batches yet.:undecided

    ETA

    I havent quite mastered cutting evenly though....

  5. I have a similar chest from Ikea also, but mine has 3 logs and @ the bottom 2 slabs! As far as the logs go, my finished soap depending on how many oz I pour, measures 3.5x2.5 with 9 bars. I also used the silicon inside, to keep from lining them. They're great and cheap!

    Excuse the shoddy pics, but this gives u an idea of the soap size and the silicon applied inside.

    HTH

  6. That is a good deal. My problem is I can't stand the smell of lard. I can't get past the smell, all I smell is bacon or ham.

    Really, ....I smelled my 4lbs I bought the other day, and I definitely cant smell any of that!:shocked2: I've never soaped with it, but I know some soapers can be a bit neg., when it comes to animal fats in general. So I was a lil apprehensive about trying it. Guess I'll find out the pros and cons for myself.:tiptoe:

  7. Really, I was just there buying some of their, Lou Anne's coconut oil, (which I didnt know until recently, they carried:rolleyes2), and I saw that big bag, but I didnt see that price! I just got the 4lb. to try it out.
