Grumpy Girl Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Oooh, those look GREAT! I can't wait to see them cut. I bet the spearmint smells divine!(You convinced me with your batch of awesome looking soaps... I'm going to try my first batch of CP this weekend.)

heirloomoriginals Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Those are all great! I can't wait to see them cut (I know you can't either, LOL). I am anxious to hopefully have time to try CP over Christmas, when we are home every day and I can maybe get rid of the kids for an afternoon and just play!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Wow..those look ao pretty....where did you get that cool triple mold?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 Thanks ya'll! Go on gals, give it a whirl. It's really not that hard. Getting past the fear of lye was the biggest step for me. Well, then deciding on a recipe you like, which I haven't completely done yet...LOLKJohnson, it's a homemade mold by my bf. It looks kinda cool, but I'm finding it's a pain in the rump. None of the long sides are attached, but it's held together by a long rubberband right now. I need to find some hinges or something so I can use them separately...lol. It still hasn't gelled. Each batch sat and cooled too long while waiting on the rest. Either I need to have lids made, hinges put on sides, or make all the the same reciped and pour at the same time. Probably all three Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichelleOH Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Looks awesome! Do you have a large cutting board you could use to cover the top of them to hold the heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too can't wait to jump on the CP bandwagon after Christmas....the lye is make me nervous:shocked2:...but I'm sure i'll eventually get over it!!

RobinInOR Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Nice looking - like the color on the spearmint one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 WOW you have been busy there girl, all of those sound divine!! They look really good too, GREAT JOB!! Isn't there a way you can put a towel at least over the ones that are poured already while waiting on the next batch to be poured? Or like MichelleOh said, a small/medium sized wooden cutting board would do the trick to cover them as you go. Why did you decide on the triple mold? Just curious.

Glowlite Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 They look great. I love that color on the spearmint one. I wonder if it will change as it cures. Every green batch I make I end up with greenish/brown soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairieannie Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Very nice Duck! How do you like the square bars? I've got a mold that produces those, and I end up cutting it in half long ways and doing rectangles because I thought squares might be awkward to hold...

MaryinCary Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Those are real nice Satin. Your swirl is lovely and I love the color of the spearmint one...very pretty. You should be proud girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatinDucky Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Thanks everyone Why did you decide on the triple mold? Just curious.It's actually 3 separate molds, but the sides aren't attached. Since I only had one big rubberband, if I wanted to make more than one batch, they had be done at the same time. I'm either going to put hinges on the sides or find more rubberbands...lol. Lids to fit are on the list next. We have lots of small scrap wood in the garage Very nice Duck! How do you like the square bars? I've got a mold that produces those, and I end up cutting it in half long ways and doing rectangles because I thought squares might be awkward to hold...They're not really big enough to cut in half. This si the first time I've used these molds and apparently I misjudged the size to make them. They were supposed to be rectangle, but when I poured the raw soap in.... well, it's too wide, so the soap wasn't tall enough :embarasse It's right about 3 1/2" square. Supposed to be 2 1/2" x 3 1/2". I'm planning on slicing about 1" off one side.They look great. I love that color on the spearmint one. I wonder if it will change as it cures. Every green batch I make I end up with greenish/brown soap.I don't think it'll change too much, though the groundy rosemary spots will likely turn brown. Most of the color is from chromium green oxide, so maybe that'll hide the brown from the powder turning :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozyaromas Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Wow, just fab-u-lous:D !!!! Do you have any special plans for this batch of soap, if not you can always let me try them out!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
