Scented Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Just read where Christina lost her blue. I tried the sweet cherry color and geranium purple and was hoping to get a dark juniper color out of my SS. I sure don't see any purple and that green looks olive, but hey the soap will be restocked (I hope) and it was a great break from honeysuckle and lilac. And I got to use my monster mold a second time with less mess and less clean up. Scented with Solas' sandalwood rose, which didn't used to move on me and now does. Must have been because of the color thief's presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 You just never know Scented and those colors might turn they way you want. That is the beauty and frustration of soap making. So far, your soap looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymber Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Looks Great! Solas's Sandalwood Rose moves very fast for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macnmyer Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Oh I love sandalwood Rose. Have you ever tried RJ'S? I only ask because I don't think RJ'S is carrying it anymore and I loved it. Would you sell me a bar of this after the cure so I can compare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Awww. Funny. I actually soaped this today and I couldn't get a freaking rose color to save my life.. I am so afraid to look at the end result .. Mine is from Solas too. I guess it's the FO. LOL That FO moved quick on me. Oh well.. I will rename it something else. LOL Cant wait to see what it does for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Well there's no purple lol, but there's a light pink and some kind of reddish color. It's still hours away from sitting in the mold for 24 hours.Mac, I would probably do that. I haven't tried RJ's, only Solas. Had a gal accuse us though of using less oil because it wasn't as strong as a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I know it's not the colors you were wanting, but I really like the colors it is now.When I think of sandalwood, I always think "earthy" colors and I definitely see an earthy rose color and think the green matches with that.I can't wait to see in unmolded also.Come on we need some soap porn!!

shirtshack49431 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 now i soaped this and didn't have any trouble even with a water discount. ( 2 x lye amout). soap room temp. i colored mine with burgandy oxide after taking out a small amount for swirling.i lucked out and ended up with a dusty rose base with white swirls. it's a month old and didn't darken like i was afraid it would. i have never sniffed this fragrance before at bbw so wondering how close is this frag oil to the real thing. all i get out of it is the sandlewood when i give it a sniffbarb it.

All of the tallow soap I make is that way...for some reason if my oils are too cool it moves major fast! I can definately detect the Rose in there after a full cure. I was going for dark pink and cocoa brown swirls in mine using Celestial Colors and ended up with a dark red-berry and deep deep purple instead.
