Brenda Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Here's what was in my soap pot today swirled with a little brick red, amethyst pink, and cocoa powder. Wish I would have had some black oxide instead of the cocoa. Down side to using this FO - makes me hungry! I'm on low-calorie diet right now. Oh yeah, I put in a little bit of raspberry fibers too.I got a little over-eager to mix the soap and it traced a little too fast for my comfort zone. Should have waited a little longer. Time will tell.Added: The top of the soap got a little nubby looking so I planed off about 1/16 of an inch and beveled it and here are the cleaned up bars. They smell like summer. I think I'll name it Raspberry Swirl.Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Brenda, I am simply in total awe over your swirls. Wanna come teach me? I can't do them for anything. Each time I see yours, I'm reminded of mine.:embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaybee23 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Beautiful soap, just love your swirls! Even for a fast tracer you still got beautiful swirls out of it. When mine trace fast, they always come out thick out of the pot, I never can get thin swirls like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 You all know how to make a soaper feel great! Thanks so much for your kind words. Today I spent the day organizing soap business stuff and filling some orders, and then doing chores around the house. Making the soap was my high spot for the day. The swirl got a little "muddy" in the center of the slab mold. One too many passes with the spatula. You know how that goes!Robin, I agree this FO is wonderful! If you all haven't used it, try it out. You will not be disappointed.The Scent Review board said "no acceleration", Kaybee23, so I thought I was home free. I probably just mixed it a little too warm. Or perhaps it's the oils in this particular recipe that made the difference. I had to kick it into high gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to find a good raspberry that works in CP.Thanks! SC is: http://www.sweetcakes.com/Great fragrances - at times a little pricier than other suppliers, but in cases like Black Raspberry it can be worth every penny. Good luck!

angied Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Those look great!!! I am going to have to try CP again. I only did it once and it I dont think I did it right. Also I am not very patient when it comes to waiting. But I think I have enough soap to sample to last me till the CP would be cured;) Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
