guppygirl Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Here's what I've been doing for the past couple days.The first is a basic olive oil recipe scented with SW's Lemon Verbena with ground calendula flowers in the soap & topped with whole calendula petals.Next up - Robin's Basic Rice Bran Oil Recipe (Thanks Robin!) freshly cut scented with CC's Raspberry Cordial. Raspberry fibers throughout topped with raspberry seeds. Thinking of naming it Raspberry Bliss - what do y'all think?Thanks for looking!Here's the raspberry (which does smell incredible btw!!) a day later.

RobinInOR Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Purty! Bet that raspberry smells delish, and love the coloring on the calendula. Glad the recipe worked for ya.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guppygirl Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 Thanks everyone! I sliced the lemon/calendula a bit thin, so I guess I'll just have to make more The raspberry's already darkening up quite a bit.This afternoon I marbeled vanilla with pear - it's gelled nicely and I can't wait to cut into it tomorrow. Will post more pics when I can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Looks great but beware of the Raspberry Seeds! They can make sandpaper soap. For the next time, you can crush them with a mortar and pestal. They are just too big and scratchy (although they look quite innocent). Been there, done that. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that. eLOL, that's why I just used them as a topper, though I admit I did get a little carried away with them. I'll have to warn people about that, thanks! The fibers shouldn't be scratchy right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
