November 2014 | Christmas Eve | KCK Soapery

I am naming these guys "Christmas Eve"

 

 

Ingedients used were Coconut Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Olive Oil, Palm Oil, Mango Butter, Castor Oil and Avocado Oil.

 

 

Colors were matte blue, strawberry red blended with stained glass red, titanium dioxide for white and a significant amount of activated charcoal for black.

 

 

Fragranced with "Mistletoe and Ivy" described as a sensual Christmas blends of cedar leaf, Siberian fir, English holly, holiday mistletoe, cooling camphor, trailing ivy, sandalwood, vetiver, and frosted musk.

 

 

I did an "in-the-pot" swirl of the white for snow, blue for the sky, red for holidays and black for the night.

 

 

Poured the swirled soap batter above into the mold.

 

 

Covered the top with white soap batter.

 

 

Drizzled the leftover blue and red for festive night scene.

 

 

Using the back of a spoon I textured the top.

 

 

Added the trees.

 

 

The stars and the trees were "melt and pour" soap.

 

 

 It was still a little on the soft side after 24 hours.

 

 

The whole soft soap loaf after 48 hours was finally hard enough to cut.

 

Hopefully the colors will stay as they cure.

 

 

Happy Soaping!



 

 

 

 



Easter Bunnies Soaps

 

 

Do you think the kids would like to wake up with this waiting for them this coming Easter?  I hope they will.

 

My second scenery soap.  These were made using bubble gum fragrance oil with  mango butter melt and pour soap base and  basic clear melt and pour soap base.

 

I used the mold below to make the little bunnies.

 

 

Then made an Easter design using a regular size oval soap mold.

 

Unmolded and ready to be placed on Easter basket.

 

Wrapped and ribboned.

 

The first time I tried to make a scenery design with soap was for Christmas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Saint Patrick's Day Soap

 

These were made using melt and pour technique using premade clear and white soap bases and sprinkled with gold dust and holiday candy fragrance.

My first attempt at ombre heart design using melt and pour soapmaking technique. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The project took less than an hour to finish.  I used red and blue soap colorants, clear and white soap base and added a dash of candy fragrance.

Embedded Hearts Soap

 

I embedded different sized hearts then poured a clear soap over the embeds

White soap as background and I finished the soap with pink or red

 

I cut out the different size hearts from a thin sheet of red soap

Took one more picture while waiting for all the layers to harden.
