Lumps of Coal soap

So here is the second new mold I got! These are a great gift for someone who has been naughty this year!

Be on the look out very soon I have the feeling I might do a give away!

new 7-up soap!

Made a new batch of 7-up type soap and I changed the design from the last round but I did keep the bubbles on top still!

new soap mold testing

So I got a new soap mold and I tested out ways to make it look even cooler. Most people I notice with these kind of molds just pour one solid pastel color and call it good but that won't work for me so I am on a mission to kick it up to the next level.

So round one (left to right) I tried clear pink melt and pour mixed with some white solid melt and pour soap with a pink solid base. Next up was pink flowers with a white background which was better but still not it exactly. So I tried white flowers and I put a tad less in to coat so it might show the base color more then I did a darker base and that sure looked a ton better. Last round I did blue clear melt and pour with a white solid base but it really didn't pop like the one before. I still have a few more ideas I want to test but I am getting closer to what I want them to look like.

Coconut Lime Swirl

Sorry for no posts this week had a ton of stuff going on in my life this week and just didn't get around to soap making or blogging. Back on track today! I made the Basil Nectarine soap that won the poll, my colors were meh. I will try to post a picture of them on sunday. I had tossed back and forth on what colors to make it and I am not sure I hit on a good combo.

So batch 2 for the day was one I was really looking forward to trying out after watching The Soap Queen how to swirl video . So here is my attempt at the swirl she showed, still needs some tweaking but I was pretty pleased on how it came out. This is scented with Coconut and Lime with green and white mica's.

By the way is my new blog layout ok? or should I go back to the old one? get another new one?
