PAgirl89 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 These are my first attempts at some M&P soap. Blue soap dye and French Market fragrance from Nature's Garden and clear soap base.I had a little trouble getting them out of the molds which is why they are a little rough around the edges. I think I'm going to have to get myself a little hammer just for these occasions.PS. If you ever use the French Market FO, it's a little wicked in the fragrance dept. It doesn't take but a drop and it lingers for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindanelson Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Very nice soaps. Put your mold in the freezer after the soap is set. A minute or two is usually all it takes. The soap will come out easier then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks for the freezer tip! It worked a lot better with these white soaps. Pumpkin spice scent, no color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAgirl89 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks! I can't wait until all the stuff I ordered gets here! I'm anxious to make new scents. I think I like the white soap base better but it seems to set a lot faster than the clear base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapbuddy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I like the blue color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Thanks, Soapbuddy! I'm trying layered soap today. I just poured it, I'll take pics once I take it out of the molds. I'm not sure how it's gonna turn out, I used clear base with Cinnamon Bun fragrant and white base with red dye and more of the same fragrant. It seemed to lay nicely when I poured it, so hopefully they turn out just as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 1st attempt at layered soap. I gotta learn how to lay that second layer so it won't be so bumpy and lumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindanelson Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Looks good. Do they break apart like wax does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 The clamshells are going to have to be popped out and then cut or broken apart. I ran out of soap base, but as soon as I get my next delivery (hopefully Mon/Tues) I'll be testing more batches. These clamshells work like a dream! Easy pour and easy clean up.

maryann Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 clamshell soap turned out so pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks!Here are the three clamshells I made with soapRain fragrance (blue), Cucumber Melon (green) and Moonlight Path (purple)I had a heck of a time getting the green out of the shell. I had to cut the plastic shell with a scissors and knife before the soaps came out. They look so pretty inside the shell, I hated to do it, but I wanted to see for myself if they'd come out easy or not ... and they didn't it. UGH! But they sure do look pretty!
