Do you cme up with your own ideas for the swirls, or do you have a book to go by? Very, very pretty by the way.

Those are pretty. Great job.

OMG!!! Re-batch that sucker FAST. Sorry about your soap.

First up is my very first Coconut Milk soap. All where soaped at RT. With a in the pot swirl. White Tea & Ginger. Smells like lemon cough drops to me. I like it. This is BCN's - IN THE MOOD This one is from Oregon Trails - Ol' Spice This one heated up on me a little bit. But I think I can salvage it. This is the top of the log...the orange spots are harder than the rest. It got really warm. Next time I won't cover it.

Here is a better link, Go to the main shopping cart and do a search for leaf mold. www.candlesupply.com

This is what I do too.

My sister is a nurse, and my grandson has eczema, she said to start giving him omega 3 vitamins, and it would disappear. I haven't tried it yet, because he is only 2 years old. I'll ask his doctor next week, when he goes for his checkup.

Bitter Creek North has leaf molds like that. Not sure about the roses. http://secure.candlesupply.com/catalog_page_Quick_Pick.cfm?queries_index=index8&ProductCodeID=41&ProductSubCodeID=155&NewProduct=0

Gran, sorry about the mess, but at least it smells good. What I do is put all my oils on the left side of my scale, and as I use them one by one, I then transfer them to the right side. That way I know I have included everything.

How beautiful, the soap looks great too. Is the mold made from plastic? I love the swirls, congrats.

Those are so pretty, I love those colors together. Great job as always E. Love the name too.

Oh those are classy looking. Very nice indeed. Would you mind sharing, what size label you used. Mine are way to small. Thanks:D

Congrats on your first batch. You couldn't borrow someones camara to take pics with?

Anyone have a recipe to a good facial soap? TIA

From what I can see, they look nice.

That is BEAUTIFUL....love the swirls,a dn the color. Question? The slab mold you use, is that notches to cut the bars by, and if so, can I ask where you got it from. I had the hardest time cutting mine today, with a knife. it went all crooked on me.

Vio, this one came from The Candle Source. Very nice scent. Thanks for the nice comments. I dig this color too.

Here is some Clean Cotton I poured Friday. Colored with Teal Green Gel Tone from BCN.

Cut pics....didn't turn the purple I wanted...so bummed.
