Meridith Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 This is my first attempt at a charcoal soap - I'm not really happy with it but I am not completely dissatisfied either. This one is actually a castile soap scented with my last bit of BnL's Pomegranate Anise (actually purchased from BnL before they closed) I would have really liked to have used some red with it but I did not have any.

wllng2lrn Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Your soap looks fine. I bet it smells wonderful. Often times we're unjustly hard on ourselves. Take a bow!!M&M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thanks everyone. Thanks to E too. She inspired me with her beautiful charcoal soaps. I like this one O.K. but I think I played with the swirls a bit too much. I should have stopped when I was ahead. I got a bit of ash on this soap but I think it actually enhances the look. I'll post pictures of it cut later when I am out in the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Good Lord woman it's Friday lol. Where's the cuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 I finally put the new batteries in the camera. It's amazing that something so simply can take me so long to get done. The first pic is of the Pomegranite and Anise (BnL)cut. The middle one on the bottom is the bottom of the soap. This batch ashed pretty bad. The round soap is TO Karma. I was practicing swirls in my Upland round mold.3rd is GL's Energize with soap chunks in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
