KJohnson Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I made this soap yesterday Its what I call my Handmade Olive Oil Kitchen Soap.This FO behaved very nice. I didnt get the red I wanted so it ended up this melon color. not what I had in mind but thats OK!! I did get some ash but Im not worried. The scent is a tad light but maybe it will come out once its cured.Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carriegsxr6 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 aaah too bad about the red, but I can see what you were going for and it still looks cool with the poppy seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks!I know I can get red...because I make Macintosh Apple soap and its a pinkish red...but I didnt want this the same color so I played around TOO much and this is what I got.

Michi Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 That color would be perfect for canteloupe huh? Sorry you didn't get the red you wanted (I still cannot get a red in CP), but it's still very nice.Kind of reminds me of those yellow fleshed watermelons for some reason. Raspberry tomato leaf, interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I think your soap looks great. I just wish I had smell-a-vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 It looks super! When I do mine (KY also) I use tomato juice for 100% of the liquid. Orange on the bottom, raspberry colored with poppy seeds on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Looks inviting!I've often wondered what this scent smelled like when I'd go to their site (it catches my eye every time.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Looks inviting!I've often wondered what this scent smelled like when I'd go to their site (it catches my eye every time.)It's great for a kitchen soap, and it's wonderful in candles in the summertime. Tomato leaves always remind me of marigolds...the raspberry tones it down some and makes it less pungent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
