Custom Moulds!
Here they are, my new custom made moulds! Wow I am so happy hehe :D They took a long time to make, almost a whole day, the daylight was almost gone by the time they were finished. Although I think most of the time it was just us planning, calculating and perfecting them ^_^ A family friend made them for me and made them to my exact requirements, I feel so lucky to have someone so talented to do this for me. The large one holds a little over 6lbs and the small one holds a little over 2lbs. I asked for them to be a little over so that I'd have the exact amount of bars I wanted with the two end bars as extras. I'm planning on painting these moulds to really make them my own and have been working on some designs this evening. These are sort of prototypes if these work well I'll get 2 more made exactly the same, if not we'll tweak the design a little bit and have 2 different ones. I'm planning on making my first large batch of CP soap in the big mould tomorrow if I get the time. It will also be my first try at a beer soap ^_^
I know I promised liquid soap but I made my 3rd batch of it today and it has still turned out cloudy. I'm at the end of my tether with perfecting this liquid soap hehe. It soaps beautifully I just wish I could get the aesthetics right. I also promised body butters but I had some very unexpected news (good news) on Wednesday so things are quite far behind as priorities have all jumped places.
So hopefully beer soap and body butters tomorrow, liquid soap if I am uber efficient with my time hehe :-P

I hope that you get your liquid soaps to where you will be happy with them, because the I am more than happy, actually over the moon, with the two that you gave me and can't wait until you do perfect it, because I want more!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, I'm so glad you like them, more will definitely be on their way to you soon. The molds you made me are fabulous, made a batch with the large one last week and it was fantastic, thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteSo, we'll have to arrange another session to create the lip salve holder thingy's we were talking about. Plus my fairy toadstool liquid will need replenishing in a few weeks;)
