JacquiO Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This is my first CP soap ever. I colored it with rose clay and the fragrance is rose FO blended with clove EO. I followed this CT tutorial to help me through my first batch: http://www.candletech.com/soap-making/cold-process-soap-making/The bars are short because the loaf mold I bought said it was for 3lbs CP but I think it meant 3lbs oils where I was calculating for oils and solution. Now I know better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquiO Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 These are my most recent I made for the spring soap swap. Both scents are from C&S's special $5 per lb FOs. The Rasp/Lemon Pop is scented Blackberry grapefruit which soaped beautifully. The Grape/Lemon Pop is scented in Lavender Lemongrass it accelerated a little but smells awesome.

bayougirl Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 You do great swirls, great looking (and I sure, great smelling) soaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlemama Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Wow, I am so impressed that those were your first CP soaps! I'm thinking about getting the nerve up to try CP (just started reading the Soapmaker's Companion), and here I was thinking I'd start with just plain white! Hmmm... maybe I'll give it a shot! Yours look beautiful and very professional to me. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquiO Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thanks. I really like the TKB pop micas. The colors really stand out. The swirling is easy. Just watching Billie's videos helped me with the top swirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billie Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Those are gorgeous! I can't believe these are your first soaps. Maybe I should watch that video. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xraytech70 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Those are really great! My first batch didn't look nearly that nice. I've gotten the hang of it now though...a lot of it is trying things different ways from different people on the boards to find what works best for you! Great job!
