I hope you enjoy the soap poon that has been brought to you by The Chandler's Rose.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello, Rose Garden!! How are you? I soaped up a storm yesterday!! I had planned for 5 four pound batches but I ran out of soap molds so I had to put that on hold. Today was clean up of soap dishes and soap area as well as cutting soaps from yesterday. Tomorrow I will attempt to make another 4 four pound batches so I can test out a few more EO and FO components. Well, enough chitter-chatter, on with the soaps!!

 

 

 

This one here is Mish Mash #2. I still haven't come up with a good name. My dad says to call it Pastry. So, until someone can tell me a better name, Pastry it is!! It has a sweet smell of blue raspberry cotton candy and black cherry pixie sticks.

 

 

 

 

 

For color I used 24 karat Gold, Robin Egg Blue, and Black Luster Micas from The Chemistry Store, Purple Mica from Crafter's Choice and Teal Gel Lab Color from The Chemistry Store. The only color that stuck was the Purple from Crafter's Choice.

 

I have been working on bettering my photography skills so I can have a better and more uniform look to my soaps.

 

 

The next series of pictures are my Sweet Orange, Blood Orange and Lemon essential oil soaps and a combo of Pastry and citrus blend. They smell awesome. The pink that you see is supposed to be Purple from Crafter's Choice, Teal mica from The Chemistry Store and some True Red Gel Lab Color from The Chemistry Store. The Sweet Orange overpowers the Blood Orange and the Lemon is anchoring the citrus Oranges to the soap.

 

 

 

 

I didn't force gel because I didn't want the essential oils to burn off. When I took them out of the molds today there was some oil left at the bottom of the mold. Overall, I am really happy with the way they turned out.

 

 

Egyptian Musk (1980's incarnation) was something that I decided to try out myself yesterday. I was so thrilled to have found the original scent that I couldn't help but attempt to make it as a soap for washing. Normally my soaps tend to run toward the edible side of the spectrum but I am really happy with this.

 

This last set is Mish Mash #1. I poured the bulk into a Pringles can but had some left over so I decided to try to use up some of my Gel lab colors. I used Lemon, Lime and Teal Gel Lab Colors from The Chemistry Store. The lime is barely discernible. The Teal turned to Hunter's Green. The Lemon darned a tad. Overall, not bad.
