Teach Soap

Heather and Laura, your soaps look great. Hint Hint I can't wait for pictures of the cut soap!

Apo, great job on your dragon soap. It looks beautiful (love the swirl) and really fits your bf's dragon!

Tada!!! The orange soda one is out of focus, my camera wanted NOTHING to do with focusing today. Cranky lil thing!

Orange soda (orange #5 lake dye, which will bleed into the natural part (no, there isn't any TD in there!):


NG's Dragon's Blood (apple pop mica and early discolouration from the FO):

Ice Cream Soap; I was feeling adventurous and decided to try using ice cream in the soap!

Omgosh! Is the orange a Celine swirl? Me likey! I think the colors on the Dragon's Blood will contrast really well after cure too!

Cee Gee- that's so funny, ice cream in soap!! What fragrance? Or more importantly, what flavor ice cream did you use?

Thanks, ha ha! I used plain vanilla ice cream, because I wanted the soap to stay white I used Dark Chocolate fragrance for the chocolate layer and Pink Fluffy Candy for the pink layer...I'm not sure if I like Pink Fluffy Candy, it's reminding me of cherry cough syrup for some reason

Cee Gee- is that Fluffy Pink Candy FO from Nature's Garden?


I am hooked on the Celine swirl too, Heather!

Here are my mini loafs unmolded, I thought I would show the loaf size and the cut pieces because people were asking about the mold here and on fb. So here ya go:

I had to do quite a bit of shaving on the sides, next time I will be more careful, or at least try to hehe.



I picked the two most misshapen bars here since there was a question about bowing. Funny that the two discoloring FO loafs are the two that bowed haha.
Left to right: Acorn Harvest (this one gave me some trouble with slicing), Pumpkin Apple Butter (I lurve this one), Fresh Fallen Leaves, Cranberry Fig on bottom. Both of those are Celine swirls, so it's fun to see the different effects you get with varying thickness of soap batter.
