Brat Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I usually do HP, but my last GM CP was da friggin BOMB!!! Here's my lowly second attempt at a CP swirl. Here we have a goat's milk soap with a red swirl. Hopefully it turns out... forvige the meat behind it, it's in the freezer right now. Last time I did a GM soap, it gelled just a touch while in the freezer. Kept its creamy white though... hopefully this yellow turns back to white!I know mine doesn't even compare to some of the beautiful soap on this forum, but thought I'd throw a little pic in to contribute! Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBE Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Looks awesome girl! Dont'cha just love GM soaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yes they are! I ended up giving away all but one bar, and since I finally decided to try it (at about 3 months of age) it's become my favorite soap I've made yet. I don't wanna wait 6 weeks to use this though, I'm almost out of that one bar! Wish I hadn't given so much of it away lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovelyLathers Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Looks great. The swirls look good too. Takes lots of practice, I keep trying and seem to be getting better but it seems some have a natural talent for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks!!Sorry, didn't mention what the first was scented! It's Coconut Hibiscus...Cranked out 2 more batches tonite, think I'm soaped out for now lol. The second looks like it's gonna be fugly, not sure what I was thinking. Red and blue swirls kinda melted together, gm as well ... it's scented Lilac.Third one of the evening looks much better! GM again, cocoa powder for the brown, titanium dioxide for the white, and the brown portion is scented Chestnuts & Brown Sugar. They're all sitting in the freezer, hopefully they'll still look nice tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisajo Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 all gm soapies? they look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Love the soaps, and love GM in soap.I thought though that the nature of the beast, that being GM, is that no matter how cool you keep everything, it will still turn a light shade of antique cream?Just wondering.

Michi Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Very nice, and I think that second one is perfect for the scent-it's mostly light purple with a touch of blue-which are the colors of real lilacs! Ok, that's it, I'm either gonna have to brave it and make myself some GM soaps, or buy some, so I can try it, cuz everyone's always raving about GM soaps, and I'm still sitting here clueless.

Wick'n'Wax Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 being a complete soaping newbie (as in poured my first soaps 1 hour ago), I just love that browny swirl one. I'd love to do a swirl loaf.Can I ask what GM is, and can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial for a swirl loaf? please, pretty please, take pity xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Tea, I have a white and blue GM (goat's milk) soap that's about 3 months old and still white and blue!lisajo, yup they're all GM soapies, I used the concentrated milk in the can and wanted to get rid of it before I forgot and let it spoil lolMichi, you GOTTA try it, it's so creamy!Thanks again everyone! Don't worry, I'm gonna post cut pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Here goes!Here they all are all chopped up...Coconut Hibiscus close up... I think this one turned out the best. Got a gel though, darnit... we'll see how they end up in a few weeks!Lilac cut, they refused to take a good pic. They're pretty funky, they got a good gel too...And the Chestnuts & Brown Sugar. This one still looks good! Hope the brown doesn't bleed, but I'm a little disappointed that the white didn't show up a little more under the surface..
