Michi Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Here's some recent soaps I've done. This first one is Solas' Elderberry, which immediately upon pouring the FO into my soap, turned the whole batch bright mac-n-cheese orange! Which wasn't so bad cuz it kinda went well with my purples and green, for a mardi gras kinda look. BUT THEN, it started to get darker and darker, until it turned into this ugly baby poo colored mess Fugly ain't it?! LOL Oh well, it smells yumma!

Michi Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Ok here's Ultra Violet from TSW:My attempts at swirling are just not getting any better, although at first I was sure they would be gorgeous (looking at the top and sides of the mold right afterwards), but after cutting, just a bunch of jumbled color on the inside. Oh well, at least the color went all the way through and this scent is KICKIN'! LOVE IT! Just cannot afford it (just had 2oz.). LOLOh and my purple leaves little to be desired! Not the purple I envisioned when I was mixing oxides. Can't wait to get my new colorants from the coop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring of Fire Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The violet is gorgeous and the fugly is not near as fugly as some I have seen, LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I agree... it isn't ENTIRELY fugly, lol.. but isn't it amazing the transformation from beginning to end?? Always amazes me. Was this because of a Vanilla element in the FO or just a chemical type reaction overall?I think the second one makes up for it though, really I do! It's lovely to me.

Scented Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The top of that elderberry one is gorgeous! Sure wish it would have stayed around instead of gotten darker. Think it was croome who tried this one and had no success with it so I just stayed away from soaping it. The UV one is good looking and what's wrong with that purple? It's the color of purple I don't think I can ever get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Your 1st soap started off looking really cool. While it is not the ugliest I've seen, it is not the prettiest that's for sure. Wow what a difference a bit of time makes. lol I don't think the violet one is ugly. I kind of like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Well dang, Michi, that sucks with the Elderberry one. It started out really nice. I hate when they decide to take a walk on the brown side.Your UV one looks terrific! I really like the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 If the first would have stayed as you created it, it would be gorgeous! Those swirls were really beautiful looking. Stinks that the fo made it change. The second one is totally cool looking!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
