I'm pretty pleased with these - I'd have a taller (more soap) bottom layer and make sure my sides were raised so the nutmeg line doesn't dip - but for once I'm happy with the color. I'm color challenged when it comes to soap making. The color I have in my head usually doesn't translate to the soap. Sometimes I get a nice surprise though. This soap was going to be a light blue, but I'm happy with the cornflower blue color, too. My first batch of soap just finished curing and was made on March 24th, but I'd done a lot of reading and video watching prior to that. I had such a fear of lye, that I didn't know if I wanted to even try it. A sweet soap maker by the name of Catherine McGinnis (Newt+Fig soaps) encouraged me. I'd purchased soap from her before (and still do!) so I knew SHE knew what she was talking about. Your kids are SO cute, by the way...super sweet photo of all four.

I'm pretty new to soaping too, having only been doing it just over 2 months now.

I guess that's the fun of soaping - you get some pleasant surprises once in awhile.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164818916773554995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350208672242123444.post-1695605225986603012012-05-19T19:33:24.285-07:002012-05-19T19:33:24.285-07:00Thank you!!

The blue turned out to be a nice surprise - it was to be more of a light blue, but I like it with the cream top...sort of a Dresden look to it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164818916773554995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2350208672242123444.post-65884947068868906932012-05-19T19:32:40.718-07:002012-05-19T19:32:40.718-07:00Thanks, Amy !!
