Kimberly Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 OK...so maybe I wont ever go back to work...lol I am soooooooo enjoying the time off.First... Relaxing from IFT. I just cannot get the whole pouring side by side thing. What is the trick? Didnt turn out bad...just not what I wanted.Second....Blackberry Musk by BnL...mmmmmmmm luv this scent! Soaped beautifully. ITP swirl sucks big time on this one.I used my new Peacock Colors on these two soaps....jury is still out on whether I like them or not.

Purple Lilac Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Cool ! I like the purple but then again I am kinda like purple. When you pour side by side you need to pour at a thick trace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Wow, I wish I could soap late at night, but our house it too small right now and the kids would be able to hear every little noise I made.They look great. Yeah, the side by sides have to be done a bit thicker. I found this out by accident when my blackberry patch soap went a little too fast on me!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovelyLathers Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I love the purple! I can't get the side by side thing down either! I love the wispy effect yours has though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryinCary Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 At least your side by side attempt is better than mine....I've got 2 batches shredded & ready for rebatching because mine were just butt-ugly. I figure I'll try one more time and then nix the sbs method! Love the colors Kimberly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Your side-by-side is really quite good 0- it's a matter of practice and having the right thickness.When I do side by side, I pour at med-heavy trace (NOT too heavy though). I stand with the log straight out in front of me with the two colored portions in containers I can comfortably handle (I put mine in plastic bowls I have with spouts and actually slip my hands into the handles so my palm is against the bowl and the handle is against the back of my hands, which I find gives me good control with no fear of dropping the bowl). I actually start in the front and just pour each on its own side simultaneously going straight back and then coming back toward the front. You may not make it all the way back to the front but it doesn't matter. Then just bang your mold once or twice to make sure the bubbles are out and do any swirling (side to side) that you wish. Once you get it you'll have it - KWIM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaG Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I think it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
