Subject: [soapcraft] Down Pipe Soap
On Wednesday I had to do a sample facial bar for a
client. One that was tan in colour with scrubbies contained.
My creative side got going and although I have been
making soap for a long time I've never done a round soap. So - I found
some pipe and got to work. It was so exciting. I used raw tussah
silk, upped the coconut milk, fine ground walnut shell, Australian blue washed
clay and fine ground lavender buds. I know it sounds like a lot, but it
was a little of everything. Be interesting to try it.
I unmoulded when I got home from work
yesterday. I had managed to put a kink in the pipe when I was wrapping it
to ensure gel - so wasn't sure if the soap was going to come
out!! Anyway, got my 16 year old son on one end, with the oyster sauce
bottle pushing the soap, and me on the other trying not to kill myself
laughing. Success - without ruining the soap.
I was so excited. The round log looks great,
right colour and texture.
I'm off to get some more pipe today - different
widths.
So wondering have any of you used down pipe for
making soap? What was your experience?
