michelleB Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ok, I've already fessed up to this batch not turning out quite "right", and now you'll see what I mean, lol. Too much black oxide, took me too long to get it mixed and swirled, too many distractions while soaping, couldn't pull off a gel, yada yada yada...and here's what ya end up with:Here it is in the mold. Scented Axe Tsunami from Serendipity:[ATTACH]10635[/ATTACH]And here's some cut pics from todayLooks like a friggin BAT invasion in my soap, instead of swirls. They're already ashing on top too, but hey, what's one more thing going wrong at this point? lolol. But ya know, all things considered...I had a BLAST! I'm gonna keep playing with these colors until I get em figured out. Many thanks again to everybody who gave me advice & support this first go around! It's hard to tell how bad things would've gotten if I'd been left to my own devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heirloomoriginals Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I think it looks great! I used Black oxide for the first time in Pink Pepperberry (from Backwoods) and it ended up being black goop on top of pink goop, not pretty! I haven't had time to play with it since!Great job.Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
