Wow, you all have some very impressive soaps there. Here is my entry, colored with 2 strengths of alkanet infused oil. If it morphs to purple I will update you.

I made goat milk, honey and oats soaps today with 2 different tops. Then had to go to the shop for more lye to make my coconut and aloe Vera.

Worth a go, thank you . I’m quite short too. 😊

The bolts on mine are welded on. I will have a go at prising them off. I think I might be better with a block, at least that way they soap can’t move much.

I will give it a go. Thank you 😊

You are so welcome :)

This was made with cocoa powder. It stays a nice dark choc brown,

I cut this soap today. It is made with chocolate and scented with Orange EO. Quite pleased with the embed, the mica line is too fine. I don’t know what caused the drag line on every bar, I use a multi bar cutter.

Today I tried my first soap with an embed running the length of the loaf. I will not know until tomorrow whether it has been a success or not. Oooo the anticipation!,

Haha, this reminded me of a review I read some years ago. It has only taken me an hour’s browsing to find it. Laughed my socks off when I read this the first time. This blog was not the original review that I read but here was the first place that I found it...

Yes I did. It worked well and has a much better finish. I meant to take pictures but gave it away as Christmas presents. I will make more soon though.

The only soapy thing I did today was read reams and reams of legislation about selling to the UK from Europe next year. My head hurts 🤕
