    Thank you! Straight up smells like a watermelon jolly rancher OOB, today it smells more melon-y. We'll see what it smells like after the cure 🙂

    I couldn't resist! When my batter stayed fluid enough I hurried and grabbed the things I needed for a OPW, setting my mold into another mold box like someone here did (I can't remember sorry) and poured this watermelon soap. It acted so strangely after I poured it. The soap in the mold thickened...

    Short/Mini Immersion (Stick) Blender?

    I have that! It works great for mixing small cups of soap batter and color. I have not figured out how to get the frother thingy off to clean it yet, so if you figure it out let me know! I just run it in a cup of soapy water to clean it.

    That is exactly why I took my photo the way I did. Because my pitcher is semi clear and you could see my layers. From the top you could only see the one color. I'm really bummed my entry doesn't count. I can't switch to one of my others because I already posted them as non entries.

    Thank you Kiwi! I did pour out of the same spout that I poured my batter into. I have done the initial pour on the side then poured out of the spout and have had different effects. I want the feathery effect but so far it has eluded me 🙂 I can't seem to get the right batter consistency.
