    Is this growing mold?

    This is an unscented uncolored batch- I cut it and put it in a zip top bag so it wouldn’t dry out before I rebatched it Did I wait too long and it’s growing mold? It went through partial gel, and the only place I’m seeing these markings are the gelled areas

    How would this look be achieved?

    I saw this GORGEOUS soap in my instagram feed and I’ve been trying to figure out the technique I’m thinking maybe pour part of your batter in the mold, pour in a bit of oil mixed with mica, and then pour more batter on top of it? I wasn’t sure if I should post this here or in the soap pics thread

    Tall & skinny stripes

    I have this awesome carry-all bag, used its colorful stripes as the inspiration for this Poppy seeds are between the layers. It’s scented with nurture’s “new beginnings” Next time I’ll use more mica- I’d like the colors to be more bold This was my first tall & skinny bar with a used mold I found...
