I just got the shampoo and conditioner bars and then the deodorant recipe. I can’t wait to shop some more though! Lol!
What soapy thing have you done today?

My TD booger ladden soap from yesterday. I tried to wipe some off on the right and it made a big smeary mess lol.
These look great; the boogers look like you planned them!
Since my other post today was a freak out about vermin, here’s something pretty. Going to walk the dog to clear my mind. Then wash a mountain of dishes. I’m still not fully adjusted to this softer tallow. These are too soft, and if I don’t wait to cut them I’ll wreck them. I’ve also got to learn to trust that my new cutter can handle harder soaps.
Wonder what I can do with my old soap cutter. It still cuts good!

Wow! It looks perfect to me!!!
This is my new batch. I cut these and I think I will name them Genie in a bottle. I really need to stop this addiction I have of soap making because I have yet to sell a bar to anyone other than family LOL.

I love the slanted layers. Do you just turn your mold - pour - wait for it to set up - then turn the other way?
Gorgeous - very wispy.
My cucumber melon swirl - with a sad piped top.

What a fantastic week! CONGRATULATIONS! I'm doing the Happy Soaper's Dance for you!
Very pretty.
I like the top!
I have left over bits of soap batter that I squeeze out of the baggies when I do a pull through soap. I’ve started making soap dough with some of it. But I’m getting up to my eye balls in soap dough. Otherwise I usually pour it into a heart mold that I have a few of. But I figured maybe I’d start getting a few of those molds that are too pricy to do a whole batch of. But, they’re more interesting than the plain heart, just for fun. Here’s the first I got.
Well that was kind of disappointing. My light colors were too dark and my dark colors were too light so I got a lot of moosh and not much definition. Also, what is it about the very bottom “sample” end slice that often makes it the best?! Maybe because the plate sits in it for a few minutes? They may still morph a bit. Oh well, I got some great soap dough!
Hopefully when I cut my next one after lunch it’ll be better.

I'm in the process of making a batch of gardener's hand soap.
What makes it “gardeners”? Exfoliant?
Lots of exfoliators - corn meal, orange peel powder, poppy seeds, and fine pumice. And I scent it with an earthy blend of Bay Rum FO, Tobacco Leaves FO, and Sweet Orange EO. It's a good seller for me in the spring, when the gardeners start getting their hands in the ground.
I like them. My pull through soap wasn’t even worth posting. I used a great fragrance though, so they sold well.
I love that idea!
Me too!
Well even when we don’t like them, they’re still probably the coolest looking soap lots of people have ever seen!
