Tickled Pink

My daughter was down to her last couple of bars of soap from the last batch I made her.  I had some new fragrance oils, she picked cherry.  Recently, I also decided to add color to my soap, and this is the first batch I’ve used color in.  I’m so excited!  I think it turned out beautifully!  She picked out the pink to go with the cherry scent, but she had her eye on the turquoise blue color I have.  Next batch!

Now I have to wait at least 24 hours before I can unmold these and see how they look.  #anticipation

Epic CPOP Fail

I am almost too embarrassed to post these pictures. I was trying out that CP/OP method I’ve read so much about, and that a soaping friend of mine swears by. I’m not really sure what happened. I am pretty sure I’ll never be trying this again! Ugh! I don’t know if any of my soap is even salvageable, but I suppose I’ll try, after a couple weeks of curing, to see if it can still be used at all. Chalk this one up to ugly lesson learned.

This is a batch of shampoo bars.  I was experimenting with using an ice cream container as a mold.  I figured, it’s basically already lined in freezer paper, for the most part.  I’ll post pics when I unmold it.
