September 2017 | Baby Giveaways | KCK Soapery

Baby giveaways scented with lavender and mint fragrance oil.

Coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, castor oil, palm oil, mango butter, 

Oils and butter with the lye and water solution. As you can see, there is a big difference with the color I produced using tea from the previous post.

I decided to use white and blue for the babies' beds.

Mixed the white to the rest of the batter.

Dropped the blue at different sides and depths of the white batter.

Gave the bowl a little swirl.

Poured  the batter into three different molds.

Laid babies onto their beds.

I am happy with the way they turned out.  I hope the people receiving them will like them too.

Thank you for stopping by!

August 2017 | Lavender Mint | KCK Soapery

My first batch made with the microwave I received as a birthday gift from my family.  I now no longer need to climb up and down the stairs to melt my oils and butters.

These were scented with Lavender and Mint fragrance oil.

Oils used are my usual olive, coconut, rice bran, palm oil, castor oil and mango butter.

Colors are yellow and black using activated charcoal.

Hope you like what you saw and come back for more. We took a lot of pictures on the making but my computer refused to download them. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

Thank you for stopping by!

November 2016 | Fondant Mat 2016 | KCK Soapery

Fondant mat designed soaps.

Lavender and Mint fragrance.

Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Palm Oil, Mango Butter, and Castor Oil.

Most soapers cut the fondant mat to fit the base of the mold only. I made it to go higher so I can have something to pull the soap out of the mold with.  Then cover the mat with a thin layer of the lavender soap.

Slowly scraping off excess soap while making sure all the grooves are covered.

I was not completely satisfied with the coverage.

But the soap batter is getting thicker so I stopped playing with the lavender and started pouring the white over.

Tried not to disturb the colored mat while slowly pouring in the next layer.

Very gently cover the lavender layer.

Dropped the excess lavender into the creamy white layer.

Slowly pour all the batter into the mold.

I would have liked to have more lavender on top but it was not meant to be.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Pulled the soap out of the mold.

Very carefully peel off the mat.

Turned the soap upside down to peel off the rest of the mat.

Fondant mat all removed, the lavender batter was not evenly distributed.  Have to practice more.

Tried to push the soap from mold after 5 days but it was still very tacky on the divider side.

Our family is divided on our verdict with this soap design.  The son wound like more color to make the pattern pop.  The daughter loved it.

December 2014 | Lavender Mint | KCK Soapery

 

Hidden "in-the-pot" swirl scented with lavender mint fragrance oil.

 

 

Colors used were woodland green, titanium dioxide for white and the right most color was actually purple in person.

 

 

Ingredients included Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Palm Oil, Mango Butter and Castor Oil.

 

 

Made the "in-the-pot" swirl technique of designing the soap.

 

 

Gave the colors one big swirl using spatula.

 

 

Poured the swirled batter into the mold.

 

 

Covered the swirled batter with white, just because I love doing hidden swirls.

 

 

Poured leftover colors to design and texture the top.

 

 

Using the chopstick, I made this swirl making sure I don't disturb the lower layer.  Sprinkled a little glitter on top.

 

 

After 36 hours, it came out of the mold just perfect.
