Angel91805 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Well.....armed with all the directions this morning, I attempted to duplicate Barbara and Soapfreak's wonderful HP creations. As we all saw, my attempts yesterday were....shall we say...mutilated? There was a point, midway through, where I thought to myself. "CRAP! I should have just gotten Barbara's phone number and called her while I did this! I wonder if *that* is normal?" :undecided Please keep in mind that I a) have CPHP'd before, so not a total noob and have used all the ingredients before (sodium lactate, goatsmilk, etc). DUH.I did have to pull the crock out of the base and let the soap cool down enough to addd the goatsmilk paste. And by then it was starting to dry out it seemed sorta icky. Eh, learning curve. I did pull out too much soap and colored it.....and I used to much colorant and made it too dark, but, it's not too bad at all! I didn't get the pretty marble look...but I wasn't TOO far off. At least it doesn't totally look like spam. I am a bit too lazy though and didn't clean them up yet. It's scented with AH/RE Sweet Orange/Green Clover and I'm TOTALLY digging this scent!And now you are thinking, "Good grief, shut UP already and show us the soap!" Hehehehe.Ain't it purdy?? Much better than yesterday!Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara AL Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yes Donna those are Pretty and the smell is probably devine I wish we had smellavision I am so proud you got the nerve to do it again and the swirling is nice too.If you want to break up the swirls some more just run the bamboo stick through there again.They will harden fast with the sodium lactate in there.HugsBarbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 They're really cool looking with the swirls inside that way. I would buy them! I'd probably use it in my kitchen since it reminds me of like peas and carrots with the orange and green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
