nursenancy Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 [attach]20852[/attach]I guess a pretty complicated method for my first try...Sorry about the pic quality.. I'm using my son's expensive camera which I obviously don't know how to use, LOLBut anyway, I guess it turned out OK, so far..I did all the pop colors and some pearl white. I wish I had left more colors for the top, but I'm hoping when I trim them up, they'll be more colorful. I used a dresser drawer for the mold. My hubs was pretty annoyed "Now you're going to ruin the dresser drawers?" LOL . Then I showed him some real molds and their prices and he shut up.It's a blend of patchouli - MW, Backwoods and EO. Smells wonderful..Thanks for looking - I'll post some pics when I cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursenancy Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Thanks!! That means alot coming from you guys you are going to be so hookedI am already!!! That dresser has 3 drawers, HaHaI have to say, even with all the colors, to me, it was easier than CPHP. Next time I may make a larger batch with less colors and do logs instead of slabs - I will have to get a miter boxI was able to cut it this am[ATTACH]20856[/ATTACH]The red faded already to a light pink - It never did gel - I was kind of surprised at that.

And red pens and tele electrodes....I have also wrapped presents with silk tapeThanks everybody for the compliments. I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out for my first batch and am looking forward to my second batch. Not sure what FO I'm going to use...Something christmas-y probably. I'd like to try something dark brown with 24K mica swirls. Maybe hansel & Gretel Love anything sparkly!!!I would also like to make some dividers for my "molds"I am hooked, totally!
