cozyaromas Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Okay here's my 2nd try at CP but first time posting a pic. Please excuse pic as this was taken with my camera phone, I really need to get a digital camera, because this pic doesn't do my pic justice.:undecided I tried to do a swirl but I don't think I was quite succesful at that, maybe next time. I used Peaks Cuccumber Melon, and a green liquid dye. I think the green is a little to dark for what I was going for, but it's going to be interesting to see what it looks like cut. If you notice the green are more on the ends and not in the middle. But I am very excited that I was able to work with the lye and finish my 1st successful batch. Thank you Scented and Magsglass for giving me the courage and the extra push!!! Now I'm ready to do another one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 :whoohoo:GREAT JOB! :whoohoo:I'm not either Scented and Magsglass .... but I think it looks lovely!! Definately the right color for the scent I have a similiar mold and its TOUGH to swirl in this kinda mold IMO, BUT then again I'm a newbie.

magsglass Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 :yay: You did it, Pam!!!!It will be interesting to see if the gel process affects the color. Right now it looks like a warm melony green in my monitor. I can't wait to see it cut! BTW, I see swirls...BIG swirls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Whoo hoo!! You're first batch is out of the way Congrats Pam!! I think that green looks similar to a skin on a cuke and am looking forward to seeing the cut version. Don't feel alone in swirling with that mold. I have something similar and I'll be dang if I can get the in the pot method right, so I try all kinds of stuff just in the log mold. It's a bugger, but I'm still not satisfied lol!

I'm just so anxious...I'm ready to unmold right now, (ugggh, why must I wait so long ....I must remember that patience is a virtue!!!

SuzieE Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yea Pam Your first soap under your belt, I know that feeling well, Have you come down from the clouds yet. Hehe I haven't. Everyday I go in and take a peek and sniff. lol I owe it to the gals on the challenge especially Mags for the gauntlet in getting me off to a timid start, or I would still be saying ...soon...someday...You might be pleasantly surprised when you cut and find some shy swirls in there. Can't wait to see the cut pics. Yea Pam, Yea Pam, Yea Pam, Yea Pam.ETA - Oops I meant your second batch. I am trying for #2 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 The first batch is always the scariest and most exciting one. I can't wait to see your cut pics. Now go get a digi cam, you can get disposable ones to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 :whoohoo: Pam, WTG girl, see it wasn't so bad/hard now was it? (yah, easy for me to say NOW!! LOL)I think the colors fit perfectly with that scent.Patience has never been one of my virtues, that's the only thing that sucks about CP, hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait...... **sigh**Soooooo how long you think you'll be able to hold out before you get that out and cut it?????

Oh man on my first batch I peeked probably 60-70 times before Leslie and Sherie yelled at me to knock it off. I had to convince myself it wasn't growing and it was getting solid and I flat just wanted to see parts of the progress lol! I was scared to cut it. Have been every batch I've made after seeing one of Eugenia's posts where the middle fell out when she took off the liner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozyaromas Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm trying not to look, but it's so hard...I want to cut it so bad, is it okay now?? Should the top be fully solid and not any gel-like spots anywhere?? The mold is no longer hot but room temp, and the top is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
