rcrafty Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi Everyone - I am new to craftserver, there is a lot of great information here! I love making bath & body stuf and just started making cp soaps a few months ago. I found a picture of a soap that just boggles my mind how the brown outline was created. Does anyone know how this is done or what you would call this techique? Any ideas? http://www.flickr.com/photos/95379330@N00/3280969133/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Looks like something with vanilla, eventually it will all darken but it's a gradual process. BTW, welcome!e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Agree with E, but if you wanted to get something like that, you could spread a thick layer of soap in a mold (as if icing a cake), pour in the center, ice the top and push some of it down and then pour the very top ... only thing I can think of. Could be an amber soap too. Haven't found an amber that doesn't brown. It's a cool look, granted.and welcome to the board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittenheart Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I saw a soap similar to this..the one I saw didnt have the zigzag lines..anywho..the lady said she made one log,then cut it down to fit the mold..poured more soap then placed the 1st log into the traced soap..then top it off with the top layer after the whole log is cured..I hope that was clear..its clear in my mind..may have not translated well to typing..

rcrafty Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks for your responses, good info! For now I am going to get the basic cp techniques down and maybe one of these days I will be able to make some of those "wow" soaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
