guppygirl Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 OK, I got brave and tried using 100% fresh GM instead of water. Then I just got silly and found a great recipe for no FO OMH bar, so I added ground oatmeal & some honey too. That was soooooo cool - watching the color change alone was worth it! Yup, I was a bit nervous, but confident that it would turn out ok - I think it did! It smelled really nice until I cut it, but I'm sure it'll get better once it cures. Thanks for looking.1st pic shows uncut view showing the top of the soap:Next up - bottom of the mold - I use a silicone loaf pan which has a neat wave on the bottom of the pan:Last pic - cut - um... got a little impatient & got some streaks, but this is just a small trial batch: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 What do you mean that you got streaks? I don't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guppygirl Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 What do you mean that you got streaks? I don't see anything.Only on a couple of the middle pieces that I made sure weren't showing in the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Looks good! If you're talking about cutting streaks from the oatmeal dragging through the rest of the bar, try cutting it upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guppygirl Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Looks good! If you're talking about cutting streaks from the oatmeal dragging through the rest of the bar, try cutting it upside down.Thanks. Yup, they were cutting streaks, but I did cut them upside down. Did I mention that I'm not so patient & cut these while they were still a little soft? Also, I'm pretty sure there was a little schmootz on my cutter!

guppygirl Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thanks guys! So far it's got a creamy cooked oatmealy smell to it.

Janis Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 That soap looks wonderful! I love OMH without fo. That's the only way I make it because I really can't stand OMH fo, lol. It takes some curing before the smell really comes out, but when it does, it's the best! It smells oatmealy and homey and cozy! You'll love it!
