kidsngarden Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I tried some new colors after your threads. These are all done with labcolors or la bomb colors BTWBRV (a blend of LaBomb lilac, fuschia and red labcolors)BB Energy (lilac and a blend of True tone orange and canary lab)BB Plumeria (lilac LaBomb)This isn't new, but pretty bright (the picture doesn't show how bright it REALLY is! AH da lime in da coconut - I call it Electric lime coconut (lime lab). If people think it makes the water look like they peed in it they aren't telling me! It's my # seller in bombs!

Scented Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 LOL!!! I love the looks!I may have to try out those colors. I'm getting tired though of colors for this, colors for that and the other thing. I'm starting to get mixed up. Now electric kiwi color should have a green tint to it ... not a pee color lol!Here's a basket of various colors ... dunno if they will show up though, but it's only half of what needs packaged. :embarasse [ATTACH]15383[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Love those colors! How big are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidsngarden Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 They weigh just under 8 oz. They are about baseball size or just slightly bigger.Scented - I know the electric lime coconut should be green - but I thought the "lime" would be green, but the more I added the brighter it got, not greener. Started to sell them and that's what stuck!I hear ya' on colors. I've practically stopped using liquids in CP altogether so I have liquids for bath bombs and powders for soap...

thecandlespastore Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Were they made with a snow baller? I love them! I have yet to find a recipe that worked for me I will conquer these one of these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidsngarden Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Were they made with a snow baller? I love them! I have yet to find a recipe that worked for me I will conquer these one of these days!Nope, an ornament...here's my base recipe (pretty sure I got it off here and may have tweeked a bit):2 cups Baking soda1 cup corn starch1 cup citric5 TB liquid oils (sunflower, olive, avocado, etc.)2-3 TB water (I'm always on the upper end of this)1-1.5 TB FOliquid color.combine dry stuffcombine liquid stuffAdd the liquid to the dry slowly stirring like crazy. It should feel like damp sand. pack it good and tight in the mold. Tap all around the outside of the mold. Release and set on paper to dry. This makes 3 3inch diameter bombs and one meatballer bomb - I send those out as samples!I'm telling you bath bombs were the very hardest thing for me to learn to make. I tried for a month or so, gave up for about 3 months, then picked it up again messing up over and over. Then one day it happened - no cracks, no fizzing (before the bath that is!) so then I made about 100, no kidding, 100 bombs over two days. Over and over so I would get the feel ingrained in my head. 'Cause that's the secret, learning how that darn stuff is supposed to feel when you mold it - that can't be taught over the net! Oh and working fast, because it really does dry out quickly. If you start making bigger bombs I think it is far easier to get because you are making three as opposed to, oh, I think this recipe makes 9-12 meatballer size - start bigger, you'll be glad you did!and sometimes the weather makes you nuts because the humidity means less water, and the dry means more (or the moon is full, or the wind is blowing from the west, ) but the formula above is pretty consistent for Western WA for me.Man, I just got done helping a newbie soaper via a long email so now I'm feeling all nicey nice and teacher like...SORRY!
