Christina Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I made some Soaps for Christmas. I don't normally share pictures because I don't have a proper mold (just using shoes boxes and things like that) so they end up not looking to hot. And i can't get a good swirl through the middle...oh, and I make a 7 lb batch and make 4-7 different fragrances out of it, so by the last couple of frarances, my soap is at a very thick trace...and just kind of glops into the mold....but hey! It saves time!From left to right: Apple cider, Candy Cane, Frankincense and Myrhh, and Gingerbread. Thanks for looking.Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystical_angel1219 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Those are far from rough. Look at those swirls! Gorgeous! You know, there is a huge market for natural, rustic looking soap.Believe it, or not. But your soap isn't even close to that category.

ladysj Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Well since they are so rough looking just ship on over to me for Christmas santa razz Those are some gorgeous soaps. The swirls look great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks everybody. I think the swirls turned out fairly well on top. It's just the sides that bother me I guess. I should be using 3 lbs per mold (to make 8 bars) imo. The bars to me are too thing and every piece is an outside piece, so it has that lip...I guess we're our own worst critics! I'm excited about these because I have body butter and foaming milk bath to match and I want to make baskets out of them. I can't wait for the day when I'm established enough to make one 7 lb batch all the same fragrance and in a nice big divider mold! That'll be the day!Christina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Your soaps are beautiful! Maybe someone can make you a mold, although there are some wonderful mold shops on line as well and they don't seems so pricey to me. If you want a wood soap mold just type wooden soap molds into google and have a look. They're sold on Ebay as well but I don't know if I'd trust them.
