Lol Eh, I would have liked it darker black, more sparkly, less blue and purple. And the "moon" to be whiter. But it really does smell good. I do love the scent and will probably do this one again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted it super black, and that combo usually does the trick... I know what I did wrong, so if I end up making it again, I know how to adjust it.

KrazeKelly Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I made a similar soap this weekend too. I used Klein Blue and Grape Pop (I think) and activated charcoal with the super sparkly mica added. It's hard to see in the picture but the super sparkly mica works well. And there's weird white outlines around my color that I don't have a clue why they are there. The fragrance discolors dark and I didn't put FO in the colors so hopefully they don't get ate up by the discoloration. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little bit of color is what I was going for, but got heavy handed. The Dragon's blood in mine discolors, but I used a VS, so that will help hold it at bay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to slow down and pour thinner to get wispy swirls. This one worked pretty well. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a good night's sleep I went back and looked at them, trying not to be critical and losing my expectations, and I like them much better this morning than I did last night... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Those look fabulous! I love how the moon came out. Don't know why you are being so critical of your work. I think its perfect! It even has a textured look like the moon with its craters. Very cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I have these plastic like tubes somewhere from I can't remember where, but the bottom line is how to get them out. I so miss when I was smarter than I am. The price of having to step away for too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Well, I got it a LONG time ago. I believe I got them from a place called Nova Soap Studio - there was a whole set of them. 2 circles, 2 rectangles, a heart, 2 flower type, and a butterfly. All that yellow hard plastic, all 6" long. Let me see if I can find a pic of them. Bleh can't find the pic... I have it it'll just take research.. To get the soap out (I used M&P for this) I just let it set enough to move, then put it in the freezer for about a half hour and it slid right out...
