Scented Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 For Carrie's milk swap, the Chirimoya de Azucar. Here I thought it was so pretty in greens (forgot to read what happens to it and now it's about Hershey milk chocolate bar brown.) Ugh. [ATTACH]15694[/ATTACH]Decided to give Silk Haiku a try. Wanted pastel colors, but the light blue (SS true blue) went light green on me (and stayed.) The pink is neon pink from TKB and the purple is hardly any pop color used from TKB. Decided it needed sprucing so I had to put some 24K gold in there. [ATTACH]15695[/ATTACH]BTW you can take a water discount for silk haiku. It will start to set up a little quickly to give attention to three colors if you do, but if I could make it work, anyone can. Went with 1 oz ppo and dropped discount to 30 on soap calc.

Meridith Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Looks great. I really want to get some 24K gold for my soaps all because of how yours always look. How does that Chirimoya de Azucar smell? And does the scent hold? Since it turns dark, if you soap again, try a reverse swirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it turns dark, if you soap again, try a reverse swirl.I didn't know it would change on me, but if I do it again, will have to try the reverse swirl and hope the other won't eat it. Practice makes perfect right? Its scent reminds me of a caramel apple really. At least it doesn't smell like wet cardboard any more. It's closer to what it's like OOB. There's enough for people to have their own bar of brown soap ... want one too? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm interested in seeing how the green one turns one. Looks very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think chunks in soap would look cool. Wet cardboard? I don't believe I've had a scent that smelled like that. That's a new one for me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBE Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 oooh they both look lovely Scented! But I'm diggin' that Silk Haiku.... those colors are PERFECT. Fits the name. And I'm jones'in to smell that other one... crap... for the life of me I can't even type it right much less say it right!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I know, cuts would be nice. Need new batteries and I'll post them, but still think hershey chocolate for that CdA one and the other is much nicer looking (cuz it has color!) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 What a shame the first one went dark on you, it would have been beautiful if it stayed the original colors. The second one is gorgeous! Love the extra touch of the 24K. I made sure I got some of the 24K in my last order, .... just haven't been able to use it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyvega Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 If I ever do soaping (which I'm still planning on at some point), I'm afraid the morphing will drive me NUTS! lol - but the pics look nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
