Angel91805 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 .....ME! <applause, applause> Yeah! I won!! WOOT!!! I'd like to dedicate this award to Louise, who didn't think I had it in me.!Due to some graphic content, viewer discretion is advised!Yes, I know what happened. No, it wasn't intentional. It was an experiment of sorts....but dayum, I thought I would just get some fugly soap out of it.....I don't even think this baby is gonna get cut....STRAIGHT to the trash can (after DH gets a good guffaw). Here we have the top of the log....notice the interesting cracks and caves. My son looked at the top this morning and said it looked like someone's brain. Nice.And here we have the underside of the log. Yes, it DOES look like an open, festering wound. I have no idea where the pink/red came from. I used green and purple colors. BUAHAHA. It was almost enough to make me toss my cookies this morning.On a good note....now I know what NOT to do. It does smell good though.....AH/RE Lavender, Apples & Oak. And that concludes our broadcast day.Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Actually what was the experiment. I think I missed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Oh!! Angel I am so sorry :embarasse I was trying to tell her how I got my milk HP soaps so smooth I add my sodium Lactate right after the lye water and then stick blend until hard trace turn on the crockpot and check every 15 minutes I try not to get my cooked soap over 200 when adding the goats milk paste or it will turn orange. After I see that it has turned applesauce or gell stage I pull it out of the pot and wait until it is 175 degrees before adding the paste.I guess we had a misunderstanding and she only cooked until 175 degrees. Please don't give up and try this again. :cry2: :cry2: :cry2: Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladysj Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 OMG that is so real looking I almost lost my breakfast. So sorry your batch didn't work out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 OMG! MY EYES!!! [ATTACH]14912[/ATTACH]Holy crackalackin!! Well, that certainly puts my "sore that just won't heal" soap to shame. You are now officially the Queen of the Oozing Sore Soap, my dear, lmbo! Here are your crown and your flowers.[ATTACH]14913[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Oh my, I do think that soaps looks a bit challenged. lol The festering wound really adds to the soap's overall look and presentation too. lol Yeppers I think I too would put that soap out of its misery. I think all of us have made our version of this soap at some time or other. I think perhaps that you are not a true soaper until you give birth to a truly fugly soap and you get lye on you and get to experience lye itchies while soaping.

Louise Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Oh, Donna, don't throw that bad boy away yet.. .you've GOT to cut it! You never know what surprises may lay inside, ROFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vio Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Wow. Well I know what the itchies are. Did that first soaping. Very strange sensation. No idea what this is though and sorry to see this happened. I had to look though. I want to know what I can expect if a batch does something weird. Learning experience. Can't you just put it back in the crock and melt it again? The colors are so light, you can still make colors of them if you wanted to I'd think? I looked at the first picture and thought those colors are so pretty. Was going to say why not just cut the bad away, then I saw the back part. Those colors really look beautiful though. If the mixture went as expected, it would have been beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaArial Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I opened this thinking “no way… I know I’ve made the ugliest soap!”… But I bow to you. That is even uglier than my first attempt for the whacky whiffs swap (which was seeping lye water so went straight to the trash). That is the ugliest soap I’ve ever seen!Congrats on being able to laugh at yourself… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel91805 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 OMG, Grandma...if I hadn't learned to laugh at myself a long time ago, I'd surely be in the looney bin.Louise....I'll take your crown and flowers!Barbara had it right.....I was playing with trying to make my HP pretty and smooth like hers and Soapfreak's......I got the directions a little confused and then went off half cocked before waiting for clarification. Barbara...hon....if this is the only soap I ever throw away, I'd consider myself truly blessed. No worries....that's why I didn't use an expensive FO. Tomorrow is another day and we WILL soap tomorrow.I thought about chunking it back into the crockpot and finishing it off....but I'm scared to. LOL. Especially since it has goatsmilk powder in it. EW. ROFL.You know...if I was trying to make soap look like this for Halloween or something, I couldn't do it to save my life. BUAHAHAHAHA. <snicker> Back to class I go.Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 OMG- Yikes, girlie! The first one looks like an infected gunshot wound to the leg. The second looks like an orifice or the stoma of a colostomy bag on an extremely overweight person. HA HA.. I know, I'm sick and twisted. Shoot me. You'll do better next time. Ah~ the adventures of a soapmaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerrie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 OMG!!! I don't even make soap, but even I can tell that is one scary soap. Thanks for the play by play, you did an excellent job, maybe you should think about hanging up the soap and going into TV Anyway, thanks for the laugh of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I saved this one to remind myself how bad it can be. I think that this one was in 2004. I know that it was summer and this batch overheated badly. The goo was a total surprise. Believe it or not, I let it sit for a few days; it rebatched beautifully, lathered like a mo fo and was all sold years ago.Here's your competition: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
