Luci Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Those look great, Louise. I'm really liking being able to do OHP for a few batches, and the soaps themselves turn out really nice. However, I'll sure be glad when I develop a better technique for improving the appearance. You just reminded me that I need to do a batch of BS myself.

jenniejr Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Very nice Louise!! I bet they smell wonderful. BS is something I have been wanting to try ... just don't know who to order it from. :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Thank you. I got my BS from Canwax. I was not familiar with this fo, so I have nothing to compare it with, but I really like what I got. I know diff companies fo's often smell different, so I don't know if this is a dead on one or not.Luci, I got tips on here from BarbaraAL and Soapfreak. I did this swirl using a spatula and folded the colors in. Put my spatula down into the soap by the side of the pot and drug it to the middle and lifted. Did that all the way around the pot and then did some slices through parts that looked blobby (is that a word?) and then used my chopstick then poured into my mold. The dropped my mold from about a foot high onto the counter several times to get out air pockets. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 They're cool. Don't swing at me, but I was expecting the blue to be darker. How much did you use? Curious if the OHP method would make colors lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks everyone! And a big thanks to you Barbara for helping me out. I just had to conquer those things and this is the first batch that looks like I did (I looked all over the house for my 2nd crockpot that I KNEW I had..... it finally dawned on me after a day and a half that my hubby has it at his one office! dang him... ROFL)And woohoooo! I got my very first dancing baby too!!Vio, that's it! It looks like marble... couldn't quite put my finger on it. And boy do they smell yummy Scented, I don't "cook" any of my colors when I HP, they all get added at the end of the cook along with the goat's milk and fo. I used about 1 tsp to approx 1.5 lbs of soap. I knew the blueberry pop wouldn't come out dark. I had wanted a darker blue for this bar, but I don't have any dark enough blue dye. (Don't ask about the FD&C blue fiasco I had before this batch *faint* ) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thank you :smiley2: The colors are growing on me. I was going for a manly look. I've been thinking about the blue, I had wanted to do a darker blue than the pop, but the more I think about it, if it was dark blue, you wouldn't be able to see the black swirls. So it's official, blueberry pop it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
