Cut my farmer's market soap. I added way too much liquid when mixing my red oxide, so glycerin rivers formed in the partial gel - the one time I have NOT wanted my soap to gel. I had left it uncovered because I knew that the 1% stearic acid recipe likes to gel when covered, but I probably should have stuck it in the fridge. I'm pretty happy how it turned out. I decided, just before I poured it, that I didn't want to make straight layers between the red and black, so I let it glop when I poured the red. I thought I would have more of a drop swirl affect than a wavy layer, but my batter was probably too thick. I still like it, it formed a nice glycerine line where the two colors meet. I love the fragrance too, the dirt FO isn't overpowering and the tomato vine FO is a lovely green smell.
I didn't work on my banner because hubby asked me to help haul landscaping bricks around the yard, so I needed to sit in the cooler-than-outside house and watch TWD, hee hee. I did do some calculations for making my mythical creature challenge soap and got started on that. It's an embed soap with a bunch of different pieces, my first time using m&p inside of a cp soap. Picked out the fragrance and then changed my mind six times. This soap will be for my daughter, so finally settled on BCN's Rootbeer FO. It says it has no vanillan so hopefully the FO doesn't discolor yellow or anything else weird.
