Sally Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I don't have any soap moulds yet so I'm using an ice cream tub & playing with small batches of CPHP.Here's my first 3 all scented with e.o's & the last coloured with cocoa powder, all different recipes cos I'm having fun playing with all the different oils I got from my supermarket.petitgrain & lavender (most of the flowers came off !)ylang ylang & blue poppy seedspatchouli coloured with cocoa, I wasn't trying for a swirl but I like the dark marbelled effect.Hope the pics come out.Sally.

Vio Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Beautiful soaps for firsts!!! I really love the poppy seed one most of all but the other two are beautiful as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Sally, they are looking good! Next time you do lavendar seeds, put them on the bottom of the mold and then pour your soap in. Less will fall off then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Posted March 10, 2008 Author Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thank you all for your nice comments....did I mention I'm hooked...lolThanks for the tip Louise I'll give it a go.GrandmaArial, I started out with HP cos I don't have a stainless steel pan....or the funds to buy one just now, but I have my old, rather small crock pot.I can only make small batches but I also get to try out lots more recipes as my oils last a bit longer.Sally.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yep, you're hooked-just like the rest of us! Welcome to our cult! LOLI want a ylang ylang soap-I just love that scent!Just so you know Sally, you don't have to use a stainless steel bowl for CP soaping. You can use glass, which is what I use (actually mine is a glass sauce pot, so it has a handle which really helps while pouring. ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooniper Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Welcome to the addiction. May I also add...there is no cure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sally Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Michi I don't have a glass pot/bowl thats big enough either so it'll be the crock pot for a while longer.I could make a different recipe every night & I'm loving blending the e.o's & smelling the way they evolve as the days pass.The ylang ylang is all spoken for ( except the biggest slice which I'm keeping for myself) but next time I make some I'd be happy to send you a sample, it would be really good to get feedback from a more experienced soaper.Jooniper.........I think I can happily live with this addiction..lol.Sally.
