Grumpy Girl Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 ... the most beautiful batch of UNSCENTED soap! Dammit.DH was trying to talk to me while I was mixing this batch and I no sooner told him "please don't try to hold a conversation with me right now, I don't want to end up with a lye burn", and I turned around to get my dividers after doing my three color swirlie ...and saw the cup of FO still sitting on the scale.DOH!!! Is anybody interested in testing my base recipe? I'll take 9 testers that are willing to pay shipping and give me feedback. ---------*CUT*I'm kinda liking the crinkle cutter. It's the first time I've tried to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Beautiful soap, love the colors. What did you use for coloring on these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapInTheCity Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Beautiful soap, it's the most colourful unscented soap I've ever seen! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks guys... I'm thinking about the many ways I could murder him right now. So far I haven't come up with anything that is harsh enough. I used ultramarines to color this time and some lilac mica. Thankfully I still have some of the lilac mica left. I have the second batch of oils cooling... I already put the FO in. I left no chance for error this time around. I have one person who wants to test the base recipe after it cures, that leaves 8 more bars available if anyone is interested. I'll post a small review site up for whoever would like to try it.

You weren't wearing your 'Pod, that's where you went wrong I'm a card carrying member of SAPS, Soapers Against Podless Soaping..... Gotcha girl. I'm gonna tear into that box of yours I received today in a few minutes and retrieve some soap! I'm suprised I hadn't opened it yet, but I got busy about the time the mailman came today. WooHoo!! Soap!Okay guys, 4 bars left. You're right. If I'd been wearing my ipod, I couldn't have heard him. I need to join SAPS... and the acronym is fitting too.

cozyaromas Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Oh man, now I know for sure I need to get an ipod!! Grumpy, does the ipod inspire you to create such beautiful soaps?? Because if it does, then I better get a hold of one fast!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 OMG Grumpy...that husband needs to steer clear when you're soaping! :lipsrseal That soap is just amazingly beautiful and I'm sure there is another award winner in your near future!!

OutlandishLady Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Well the soap I sent wasn't nearly as pretty but I do know it smells sooooooo good, lol I think an iPod is an essential to all soaping/candle/B&B processes. It helps me tune out everything and just focus (ie ignore phone, kid, DH, pets, etc etc). Right now I'm going back & forth between Loreena McKennit & some various '80s stuff/Green Day. OMG did I just admit that?Join SAPS today!Done with the hijack............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheri Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I think it's gorgeous! So what, it doesn't smell. Not everything has to smell. It's going to feel so great on your skin you're not going to notice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
