Scented Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 [ATTACH]15242[/ATTACH]Now I think I'm just going to stop seeking reviews for FOs. Could swear the review board gave this a thumbs up, but it also didn't say a hell of a lot either that helped me lol. It is a thumbs up FO so far. Very, very, very strong. So here we have strawberry kiwi (made with apple pop and raspberry pop and some black.) I was/am aiming for a minty green, but probably won't get it. The green in the pix definitely looks better than what the naked eye saw lol. As for the FO ... 1 oz ppo, water discount (gotta quit doing that when I'm unsure lol). There is supposed to be a layer of uncolored in the middle of this log so I'll be able to tell if there's any D. As for the A ... well by the time this was getting pieced together it was pretty thick. Cool temps. About 90. I went for two short blasts on the SB and started dividing the color up, using a squeeze bottle in hopes of dropping something like seeds in the green. Did it in the reddish too and before I got to the end, the black had hardened enough in the bottle that it shot out a chunk (into the sink with the top ahead of it.)So, if I try this again it'll be with full water. Maybe I'd have a little more time to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONNAMAC Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Wow, that is great looking. I think your colors are perfect. I made a pink and green soap today with gel-tones, and wound up with a pink and dark pink, and not a pretty dark pink,either. I made mango and peach for the fruit swap, and used bright orange and a pearl white for the top, and wound up with a cream color and a hint of white for the tops. Again with gel-tones. Yours look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vio Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Wow you know a little darker green in there, and you could do a watermelon looking soap as well with those colors!!! Beautiful swirls and texture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Well I cut it, but I'm concerned about how wet the log is. There's no zap, absolutely none. I'm not convinced its FO either, but I did get a partial gel (grrr) and I am wondering if it's maybe water or condensation from when it should have gelled? Anyone else confused lol.

TexasBrat Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 How do you know if you have a gel or not? I can't help you with why they might be wet though. I bet they will turn out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 The green and white portions have two different colors. I'll take a pix when I get home. It's easier to see. It's like a shadow in the middle of the soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I would love to see cut pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'll get them photographed. I've been trying to get them to dry out a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
