Gypsyjen Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I played with my stepping stone mold yesterday, trying to get a "marbled" effect with a combination of CP and M&P. DH thinks it looks like a shirt he used to own back in the 80's. What do y'all think? By the way, it was scented with SW Cedarwood Mint (FABULOUS scent!! And strong!!) and colored with stinging nettle powder, which is supposed to be good for oily skin.[ATTACH]5023[/ATTACH]Close-up:[ATTACH]5022[/ATTACH]Cut pics: (I did not do the marble throughout, as this soap traced very quickly)[ATTACH]5027[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 That looks AWESOME!!!I have to ask the million $ question, how do you work w/ both soaps?? I know Grumpy was asking about it before. That looks FABULOUS, I'm just so intrigued by the idea. Also The FO makes me think of a hopechest smell, what in your words does this FO smell like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsyjen Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Thanks for the kind replies gals!! Maryann, what I did was melt some M&P in black, white, and clear, and drizzled each into the mold. Then I poured the CP on top of it. The heat from gel melted the M&P a bit and allowed it to adhere to the CP. The cedarwood mint doesn't smell like a hope chest at all. It is more minty than cedar-y. It's a very spa-like fragrance (and a Thymes dupe), like mint with a background of evergreen woods. That looks AWESOME!!!I have to ask the million $ question, how do you work w/ both soaps?? I know Grumpy was asking about it before. That looks FABULOUS, I'm just so intrigued by the idea.

Carrie Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I love that mold. I got one for make stepping stones for my new house. I haven't used it yet. Maybe it'll have to be a soap mold a few times before it gets cement in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
