cindym Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 It looks great, maybe you need to up the hard oils a bit in the recipe. But let it sit for a few days and it will start to harden up. Nice first girlie, my first was sweet pea also. You need to use freezer paper not wax paper. Quote
Spellkast Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I read (I think in robin's tutorial actually) that the soap will stick to wax paper- you want to use freezer paper which is different, or try just using a thick plastic garbage bag (I've used that with no problems whatsoever getting it out of the mold) I think it looks great!!! Much better than my first attempt!!! Good job!! Quote

Guest EMercier Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Nice. I really like the say it looks. One day, I'll get there. Love the swirls! Quote
fabulousfunfur Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Here in Canada, we use 'Parchment Paper'You get it at Walmart, and grocery stores Quote
Michi Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Here in Canada, we use 'Parchment Paper'You get it at Walmart, and grocery storesYep, that is what I bought (although I haven't used it as of yet. ) per someones' recommendation here. Quote
Michi Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 OH, BTW, I think that is BEAUTIFUL! I can't believe you tried (and pretty much suceeded) swirling on your very first batch!! WTG girl, you should be very proud of yourself, that is some pretty soap!! Quote
Carrie Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Ya know, I just love to look at the soaps, but just as I was about to scroll down to look at your soap...it dawned on me that you wrote "wicked"...a strictly NE/Bostonian word...made me laugh.By the way, your soap looks "Wicked Pissa"!Thanks for sharing! Since when is wicked a "stricly NE/Bostonian" word. It is used all over the west and has been for many years.Great swirls for your first try. I didn't even attempt swirls until at least batch 4-5, and then they sucked really bad. They were more like splotches of color. Good Job!!! Quote
RobinInOR Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Very nice! Hope you've found the freezer paper, it works much better than wax paper. Don't be surprised to get dark brown soap when you use fragrances w/ vanilla in it. Haven't tried those 3, but just a warning so it doesn't surprise you. Glad to see you're planning your next batches Quote
Fern-Marie Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Since when is wicked a "stricly NE/Bostonian" word. It is used all over the west and has been for many years.Sorry Carrie, didn't mean to leave out our Western friends. Quote
Brenda Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Lovely first soap! Like the colors!My first soap was pitiful...and I still thought it was the coolest thing in the world because it bubbled. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! Quote
CranberryGirl Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Thanks U guys! U ave made my week! The bars are starting to harden!
