Impression Mat Soap
Hello :o)
To make this lavander Soap, I needed to make a silicon mold to fit in my slab wood soap mold.
I bought some individuals plastic table cloth. I found very different beautiful styles .
I used only the outside border, so I cuted:
I pasted over wax paper the design i was going to use. wich I am going to place in my slab wood soap mold, so I can later pour the silicon to create my mold.Before I poured the silicon I had to spray some alcohol on the plastic design so it wouldn´t stick
The first time I tried the result wasn´t good because the design was not thick enough so I had to use double plastic design.
Later this week I´m gonna upload the images of the silicon mold :o)… thank for the patience ;o)
Any questions I´ll be happy to answer them :o)
Thank you for visit me ;o) Have a beautiful day

Mini Dessert’s Soap Challenge
Hello everyone! :o)
This challenge has been a thoroughly enjoyable challenge, I had a lot of fun with what was undoubtedly up there with the most creatively challenging concepts that I have had the pleasure of working with. :o)
I’ve done soap desserts before but never so so tiny like these.
Step 1: I made the topping decorations with melted soap. It was similar to rolling dough with your hands, waiting for it to get to the right temperature, for the right texture.
Step 2: I prepared the ingredients with real food for the toppings, using lemon and orange zest. Cinnamon and cocoa powder and seeds were also used. I made another topping using oatmeal mixed with melted translucent soap, painted with gold colour base.
Step 3: I prepared my cold process recipe using coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil. And with that soap base I made the soap using ice tray silicon moulds with approx. dimensions of 1.5×1.5cm. For another design for the mini desserts (a rectangular cake), I used a cardboard cutout from old packaging. And for the last design I used a real cooking silicon cupcake mould but a really small one.
In the last picture you can see a ruler to compare the sizes of the mini desserts. I’m super happy with how these turned out and if you would like any advice or help with these recipes please feel free to shoot me a message.
Have a great day!

Soap Challenge Club Butterfly Swirl (January) from Greatcakessoapworks
Hello every one! :o) This month I made 3 bars of soap trying the Butterfly swirl, because it was christmas I made it with my niece Lucia and my sister Barbara. We had a great time sharing and waiting to cut the bar and see what we were going to find there ! :o) The most beautiful Butterfly is the one I made with my niece Lucia , she is very happy because she learn how to make soap and she is so proud because it’s easy to see a butterfly when we join together both of her bars.
This is the link with the tutorial video:
Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/296956169155039726/
This is what we do:
Separate 2/3 parts of the recipe , it’s gonna be the main color (in this example is yellow)
1/3 part is for the doers colors (in this case pink, blue and little black for the butterfly body)
STEPS:
First add one layer of the principal color and then add the other one following this pattern (leave a blank space on one side )
Once again with the main color (yellow) follow this pattern forming lines throughout the mold, after this add another bright color (blue) making “S” patterns or make patterns freely
One again with the main color (yellow) throughout the mold with several lines, and then it’s VERY IMPORTANT to just add one side the darkest color, its gonna be the butterfly body :o)
Cover superficially with the main color and it is swirl time!!! Insert the hanger superficially from one side to other and first make a small and superficial circle and make them wider and deeper every time (3 or 4 circles), when you are going to take off the hanger following an “S” pattern from bottom to top (large to small)
If you see the instructional video it’s gonna be easy to understand how you can make your own butterfly swirl ;0)
In this photos we can see how important is to chose a solid color so the pattern will be easier to see ;o)
