Sherri in Canada Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I used TD but I don't think I used enough to whiten up the base...it's scented in Sweet Strawberry. It's hard to tell from the picture but it's colored with sparkle red mica and red iron oxide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Love the red- hopefully tomorrow it might make it out of bed. :smiley2: I need to see this soap free from it's mold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri in Canada Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Thanks It's my third batch of CP and my first time using the reds so i've got my fingers crossed and hoping that the color doesn't morph on me. I'm semi-pleased with the swirl though but practice will make perfect (or somewhat anyway lol) but wow I can really see now why this can be a major addiction!!

jenniejr Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 is it out of bed yet?? I think it looks wonderful! I bet it smells great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri in Canada Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Well after 14 hrs...the sparkle red is disappearing but the oxide is holding up and the base is starting to discolor to a tan :undecided I didn't take into consideration the vanilla in the fragrance oil and didn't add near enough TD. I took the dividers out and it looks good for the most part though...the middle bars have swirls all the way through but the outside edges are only partial, I didn't get my colors all the way to the outer edges in the mold...oh well, good excuse to do another batch lol and it does smell super so all is not lost!

eugenia Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Thanks It's my third batch of CP and my first time using the reds so i've got my fingers crossed and hoping that the color doesn't morph on me. Sherri, you did a great job! Congratulations. Soaping is HIGHLY addictive. :smiley2:e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri in Canada Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Well here it is without the dividers in the mold and out of the mold...i'm assuming the darker spots in the center of a couple of bars are where it's starting to turn dark. I still need to clean it up some but it does smell wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
