Congratulations on your first batch! What did you add that made the speckles in it?

 

[mamato4kids]

The speckles are oatmeal. This was the first day of curing, it looks so much nicer now!!

Your first batch is beautiful, Looks like you did some studying before jumping in!


My first batch:

I was so anxious to get started making soap I decided to make the batch before my scale arrived and I ended with a huge smelly mess and I even poured the soap into an aluminum mold (or maybe it was tin I can't remember) which completely ate the surface off (because of the lye)

the entire batch was extremely lye heavy and I had to throw it all out!

thankfully i was educated enough to wear safety gear, otherwise I probably would have been severely burned that day!

My advice: NEVER underestimate the importance of accurate scales

I hope my first batch is that much of a success! I make it in a couple of weeks. It looks like you could eat it!

Thanks everyone! It was fun and started an addiction! I am also taking soap-making 101 on-line, it has really helped!

I appreciate all of the kind comments!
