Teach Soap

Naomi, you have got to check out the tutorial for loaf soap that Debbie of Soapylove did on the Soap Queen blog!
I don't know why, but I thought of you when I saw it. It must be all the colors and artistry involved that reminded me of you.

Am copying and pasting my post on the flaunt your stuff thread cause this is little thread is like my own little corner and its nice to look back and see how I'm getting on

------------------------------------------------------------------

I did it I did it I did it!

I made my first loaf!!!!

I am SOOO proud of it...its not without its "mistakes" - like my oatmeal layers for instance... I left them for quite a while before pouring and the oatmeal was suspending REALLY well before pouring...but it seems after pouring gravity took over and it all sunk lol! Oh well I'm still pleased

I wanted something to look totally unplanned...nothing uniform, no regimental layers all the same size and shape etc...I wanted it to be pure funkiness

Sooo... clear and opaque layers - the opaque layers with ground oatmeal *suspended* (not lol) through them all fragranced in a honey and outmeal scent with a few drops of yellow colouring in each layer

I used the silicone loaf mould I bought in the local supermarket, bet they wasn't the "loaf" they had in mind lol... which has the most fantastic "bottom" (top of soap lol) and its all crinkly which is sooo funky!!!

You cannot believe how over the moon pleased I am with this lol

So here it is in all its glorious glory






YAY

Naomi

Right, new question now lol...

Soaps for children! My sister is wanting a bar or two of soap for her partners niece - she's 4 years old. None of my moulds really are very "fun" in that four year old child kinda way and the best I could do would be the square with the butterfly on top...but.. my colours bleed which would limit how colourful I could make it and its a bit big to hold in a four yr old little hand...

So does anyone have any ideas for "non-mould" type soaps... funky things I can do in small sizes that would be appealing to a child of her age?

I was thinking of having a go at the tutorial on The Soap Queen Blog for making the little citrus slices, but it would be nice to get a selection of ideas so I have more to play around with

Also, could I get a little advice regarding colours... I really REALLY want to do some funky things with colours and because mine bleed its not very easy to do...soooo could someone take a look here and tell me which of these I should be looking at buying so that they DON'T bleed?

Thankyou everyone

Naomi,
It won't let me in since I'm not a registered member. If they have any micas, those should work for you since they don't bleed.
