Sara Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 A couple of my recent batches: (sorry if this is all a repeat - posted the same on the 'Dish as here - )We have mulberries growing by our soccer field and I've always wanted to soap them. Since they stain the crap outta the kid's faces I figured they'd make a really rich colored soap. Uh... no. Not really. I put cream in here as well. It is a "mostly soy" experiement, no OO at all, hence some of the shine, I think. Anyway, here it is:And then there's my lavender batch. Used silk and cream in this one as well as sugar and lavendar EO. I think I'm in love!!And it made the neatest swirls - looks like a face to me. I had so much fun with this batch, can ya tell?

SatinDucky Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Does the mulberry smell? Now that I think about it, I have no idea what they smell like. It has a nice natural look Really like the lavender too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Sara, I'd expect the mulberry batch to look the color of the second batch too. Too bad they did not add any color. Love that lavender. What did you decorrate the top with? Looks gorgeous.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Your soaps look nice. they look so creamy and the lavender is just gorgeous. Did you use soy milk in these? I tried it once, and it was my one and only batch that was a complete disaster. Couldn't even save it on rebatch - it didn't make it that far.

Michi Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yah, I would expect the mulberry to more of a purple color, or at least SOME color, how weird. So, have you tried it out yet? How is it? That's what really matters. I love the color of your lavender, and those swirls are beautiful-definitely can see a face in at least one bar.

RobinInOR Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Love that lavender - it does look like a smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 I scented the Mulberry with Pomegranate - LOL. It does smell nice, though. And it feels nice as well. I totally replaced my OO for soy in that batch. I do wish the color would have came out more, but ah well.Cream does feel nice - Feels richer to me. I don't know if it is a placebo effect or what, but I think I can tell the difference. I add it at trace. The top of the soap is lavender buds.Hope I answered all Qs - thanks for the nice comments!!
