Clay colored soaps.

Hi there! I just used a spoon and the handle of it. After I pour, I wait until the soap thickens up and then I start playing with it until I like the way it looks. It sometimes takes awhile for the soap to become the right texture, where it'll stay put and stand up in peaks. It needs to be pretty thick

Thank you so much for the tip cause I had been trying for the last five batches and it just wasn't working out. Lol I think it wasn't letting it get thick enough.

For the soap with layers, I usually divide my lye water into 2,3,or 4 containers depending on how many layers I'm doing. (I weigh it to make sure it's exact) . I do the same with the melted oils and then I do each layer, one at a time letting each one set before mixing and pouring the next. It helps to speed things up and set the soap by putting the mold into a warm 170 degree oven between layers.

Here is a good video on Pencil lines!
