Brenda Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Out of the mold this morning and trimmed up. It's scented with a combination of SC Black Raspberry (2 parts) and Grapefruit Citrus (1 part) FOs. There's a little orange peel and raspberry fibers in the middle layer, but they are all scented the same. I had a little oozing of the fragrance oils, but I'm hoping it will absorb back into the soap. Need to cut back on the amount I guess since they are both such strong oils.I'm having a soaping crisis! There is no coconut oil for miles around since I've cleaned out their Walmart's shelves both locally and in the next town with a super WalMart. My big bucket from Columbus foods won't arrive until sometime late next week. How did I let myself get in this fix? I guess I'll have to break down and do some spring cleaning...bleh!Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapInTheCity Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Love the soap! Looks great! The scents sound amazing.....I had that happen too with a Green Apple FO. It didn't quite absorb into the soap or something, I thought it would eventually but it didn't, and it left big white spots. One of only a few batches I didn't give out or sell! But yours looks great!OOOOPS on the oil! Man, I hate being in that predicament with no supplies!*You'll go through soap withdrawels Brenda....go quick...do anything you can to get some!

OutlandishLady Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 STOP POSTING THESE! You're giving me Soap Envy Those are just bee-you-tee-full. I've read a lot of raves about the SC berry FOs. Are they really "all that"? I cringe at spending that much for a FO but I may have to, just to try 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cringe at spending that much for a FO but I may have to, just to try 'em.I've only used this one berry scent from SC, but it is strong, true, and "stays" great through soaping! Worth the money - JMO. Thanks ladies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 That looks like fun! Time to grab some oils & butters. Thanks for the inspiration Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Beautiful soap Brenda. I did Fairy Dust & Twinkle Toes a week or 2 ago and it oozed just a bit out of the top as well. Maybe its' a grapefruit thing. I just let it set for an extra day and it went back into the soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cringe at spending that much for a FO but I may have to, just to try 'em.SC FO's are unbelievable. That is about all that I have used in the past but with making such big batches now I am trying to find less expensive FO that is still high quality... SC is awesome and all have been tested in CP soap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajo Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Beautiful soap! I love your untraditional layered look. Your scent blend sounds awesome. I love SC's Black Raspberry. I favor tart berry scents more than syrupy sweet ones and mixed with citrus and grapefruit, oh man... yummylicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 Thanks so much! :smiley2: The cleaning fairy did not get me. I was able to find soaping tasks to do all day. My house doesn't look that bad..really...I think.Tomorrow is another day. I'll do it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 How in the world do you get each layer so perfectly the same in depth? I need a tutorial on this one. They are just AWESOME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 I make the same recipe three times in a row. It's a little bit of fuss, but I enjoy doing it because it frees me from the giant soap pot. Each batch fits in a 2 quart saucepan. I could make the whole batch of oils and weigh it out, but then I'd have to wrestle that big pot --- and I tend to spill easily from big heavy pots! :rolleyes2 Plus, the separate weigh-outs give the previous layer time to cool and set up enough to accept the next layer without denting. And a level surface is necessary too. It's not difficult, just fussy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
