Grumpy Girl Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Never try to put coffee beans in the bottom of CP soap. After cutting off the bottom inch to rid my soap of the beans that were falling out, this is what I came up with. The bottom layer is Mocha colored with Hershey's cocoa and the "white" layer is scented Vanilla Hazelnut coffee.Please excuse my crappy lighting, I'm too lazy to drag out the lightbox.Wild Watermelon from ICS colored with red oxide and swirled with light and dark green oxide for the rind. I probably should have put a layer of white between the two, but forgot about it till it was too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutlandishLady Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Love that! The watermelon looks good enough to eat!We ought to start a list of stuff "OK to add" or "not to add" to CP soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 I think it might have been okay if I had poured just enough to cover the beans and mixed them with the soap before pouring the rest. I'm going to try it again this week I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Really like the watermelon, the rind on it is so real looking. I like the top you got on the other one, hope you figure out the thing with the coffee beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 You are making some cool soaps, Grumpy Girl! The scents for both sound scrumptious and the watermelon soap looks fantastic. I like the varied greens you've got going there. I'd love to do a coffee soap! Your top is awesome and you'll figure out the bean thing so you are satisfied with the bottom too! :highfive: Very nice.

heirloomoriginals Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 The watermelon does look real (except for the shape, LOL). That coffee is really dark on the bottom.Looks great and I bet they smell great too!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherie Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Awesome job girl!!!! That rind looks very real! Love the pink you got with the red oxide. What did you use for the seeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks guys! I used Black Sesame Seeds for the watermelon seeds since I was out of poppy seeds. I tried not to use too many.I'm determined that I can start to work this stuff kinda like MP eventually and get some style going on. Time will tell.

I too, will have to start making a list of "to add or not to add". I need to get off the pot and start experimenting! Love the looks!!

coloresse Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 OMGosh! The watermelon soap looks delicious! I would scoop that up in a second! Too bad the coffee beans didn't work out. I've gotten to where I don't purchase soaps with 'stuff' (herbs, etc) in them for personal use anymore. Although they look neat, they usually make a mess in the drain of my tub. But I still like to look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
