Scented Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 First up is the ultraviolet, sure to be renamed since it's not really "ultra" violet. The purple is the purple pop color from the coop, but I only used 1/4 tsp of it and should have used more and just colored the batch with it. The pink in there is some SS color that actually worked.There's a milk combo of GM and CM in here, so wondering if that's helping with the gray hue, which is ... gag. But I had milks in another batch of this and got white. I'm confused.[ATTACH]15105[/ATTACH]Next is Jonquil from Scent Works. Beautiful fragrance, but ahhhh ... I don't trust soap notes any more lol. This started to go to a paste quickly, so I made Rockin stir while I did the colors. The colors -- lemon drop pop and tangerine pop. Really pretty colors. [ATTACH]15103[/ATTACH]Now here they are during a gel stage ... likely the end of gel so there's some transparency and a little bit of sweating, but not that much really as the pix indicates.

ladysj Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Those are really nice looking soaps Scented I love the lemon drop one it's beautiful. The purple and pink is very unique looking I like that but my fav is the lemon drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 They both turned out really nice!! I really like the vivid colors of the Jonquil I learned the hard way too about trusting **soap** notes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 They look great. I love the Jonquil. I played with them yesterday and really like them. Are they suppose to be non bleeding? I got the gray color too thought it was from colors bleeding together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 There's a milk combo of GM and CM in here, so wondering if that's helping with the gray hue, which is ... gag. But I had milks in another batch of this and got white. I'm confused.First, let me say, they are all really pretty, and I really don't see the "gray hue" or think it's supposed to be like that? Anyway, as for the discoloration on this batch, it may have heated up a tad bit more than the batch you got that was white. Heating up with milk soaps lends to getting a darker color, even if it's only warmer by a few degrees from batch to batch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirloomoriginals Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 They both look pretty! I was looking at those on the site and thought it was pretty neat how they make the makeup. I may pick some up if I ever have time to play!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think they are both very pretty! I can't notice the gray hue in the first batch like you mentioned. But then again, sometimes seeing soaps in pictures are very different than seeing them in person.I can't wait to see these cut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hey thanks!I haven't noticed any bleeding in the colors. Actually I like the brightness that tends to stay around. The Jonquil, which I think needs another day before cutting (and maybe more than a day) appears to have held the yellow and orange quite well. I think if I would have used 1/2 on the purple, it would have come out darker. And maybe it's just my lighting, but I thought the pops offered a little bit of sparkle too. I could definitely get hooked on them if they all come out fabulously. Will try to play with some other colors. I think I have reddish one and a green one I could try next.

Michi Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I really like the light color swirls in the first one, but I can see why you say you should have used more than 1/4 t. Of the purple, you want to make the color "pop" and live up to it's name! lolI REALLY love the jonquil soap with it's "pop" colors, you can really see the sparkle in them, which is usually hard to capture in a photo-good job! I'm sure its even more sparkly in person huh?! Kymber- I canNOT believe you didn't order any of the pop colors-girl, what were you thinking?! LOLI can't wait to try mine-the hardest part will be deciding which ones to try first and then finding an FO to go with the color(s)! LOL (which is sooo backwards I know ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 So sorry for having no paragraph breaks in my above post-for some reason when I'm using my phone to post on here, when I hit submit my breaks go "poof" out into cyber space! ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I had to come back and gaze at these lovely swirlie soaps. Can't wait til my pops get here and I can play!
