Embeds, Soap Balls in Cold Process Soap

Midnight Lemon Mojito Soap

I thought I would try out a new soap, something different than I've ever done before. Yes, I am always up for a great challenge and always wanting to try new things and continually learn, so here I done it again.

I 've heard so many great things about Activated Charcoal so I knew I wanted to give it a try, so I figured now is as good as a time as ever! Then I thought it might be nice to add a little gray color in there and give it a little swirl,,, So, I did !

I had just rolled some Midnight Mojito soap balls the day before so I thought why not add them as well.... OH, how fun it would be to try to create a soap with some Embeds!

Since Midnight Mojito is a Citrusy scent, I decided to add my lemon Deluxe blend to my Charcoal soap base.  Which I think is a great choice because it smells Oh so good !!!

You know now I just had to add a bit of glittery fun to the soap top, it now glistens so nicely.

I can't wait until these are cured and I can give them a try!

If you have used a soap with Activated Charcoal before, Please leave me a comment and let me know how you liked it and how it feels on the skin.

Thanks for stopping in and reading and commenting on my blog,

Clyde Slide Attempt

My First Clyde Slide Attempt

One of my all time favorite soap makers, would have to be Clyde Yosheda !

I love his style, how he goes over his color pallets and his unique soaping methods and etc. Yes, I watch all of his videos on YOU TUBE !!!

I have always wanted to try his Clyde slide so I thought I would give it a whirl.

Here it is.....

Below: Picture of  2 soaps side by side 

 Below: Picture of soap top with a little bit of Gold Sparkle Mica.

I used recipe/formula consisting of:

Olive Oil, Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil.

When my oils were emulsified, I divided my batter into containers to be colored.

My main pot was my White soap base.

Contrasting colors were:

color #1 - Forest green mica with just a touch of  titanium dioxide

color #2 - Purple mica with titanium dioxide

color #2 - Dark Purple created by mixing Purple mica with just the smallest touch of Blue ultramarine colorant.

Scent: I added Blackberry Sage from Brambleberry, which is an Awesome scent!

By this point my soap batter had thickened a little much (medium trace).

So, I had to pour my contrasting colors in layers into the main pot quickly but I really like the affect it gave.

I will be trying this one again in the near future, with a light trace.

Have you made the Clyde Slide before, If so I would love to hear your experiences if you would like to share.
