It is a blended scent to smell like crisp apples and berries. This is suppose to be a fruit orchard: Can you see this one? It is big.

Same soap, different angle:

Two different angles. This one is looking down from the front: This one is looking down from the back. I guess they don't look too much different. I should have turned the bars another way to show you all of the green. Just as you see the melon color, the other side and bottoms have...

I soaped my first batch on 3/31 and made one batch, each night, for the last five nights. Here they are: This is my Red Clay Soap This is Green Apple. Soon as I added lye to the oils, I got big globs. They didn't all melt or smoosh and this is how they turned out in the soap. Soap is...

My virgin voyage. I got my recipe all figured out, first weighed out my water and stuck it in the freezer in the container I was going to pour the lye in. While that was freezing, I measured out my lye and oils. Put the lye aside, melted my hard oils with a double boiler. Took the top pot off as...

I am a certified, bonafied BOTTLE SNIFFER!!! I haven't started soaping, yet. I've been gathering supplies. Two boxes of eo's and fo's (30 bottles) arrived last week, on the very day I was going out of town, so I didn't open them until today. OMG...I had no idea the aroma's would be so heavenly...

I've been gathering my supplies, slowly but surely. I am getting ready to purchase some oils and have a little confusion. 1. I recently read where Pomace Olive Oil is better for soaping than pure olive oil. Is this true? I know it is about $10 less per gallon. What is the difference in the...

I am new to soapmaking. Really new. I have been a handcrafter for over 20 years and I have always had an interest in soapmaking. I purchased a book on natural handmade soapmaking, some years ago. I read a few pages and it seemed so complex, at that busy time in my life...so I put it aside. Well...
