Does the turmeric dye washcloths or skin when you use the soap? It sounds very interesting. Cant wait to see it!

Spent the weekend purifying tallow. Not the nicest job, but around here it is very cheap - and it makes beautifull white soaps. Terrible time waste waiting for it to cool while it is loadshedding in South Africa, but nou ja. Been dwiddling with making some heart shaped molds to use for embeds in...

Welcome! Switzerland! Home of the best chocalate and cookies!

Used stain stick on my ooooold gloves that my wife wanted to throw away because ahe cant get then clean - super impressed!

Laundry soap working wonderful on stains! Know they are only a few days old, but could not wait to try it🤪. Also made little hearts to use for some Valentines soaps and some mini moon embeds I want to try for a "spaced-out" soap. Really difficult being back at work AND soaping. 🤯

Made my first attempt at a laundry/ dishwash soap today. Holding thumbs it turns out nice.

May you all have a wonderful soapy 2023!

I have found that cooking it 3 times, with water and salr reduces the smell. Not totally, but definately a lot.

Wanted to try a new technique today - once again no water in our town. 🤬

Thx, I will try again and leave 1 out.

Still not easy. You think my borax might be old or something? Ok. Just cut the borax soap. Very crumbly. Does borax cause this? Used my normal tallow recipe with coffee, borax,grinded oats and some EO's?

Borax wont dissolve

Yes, read them all a few times. Still struggled with the 50/50 boiling water and borax?

Just finished my first attempt at blacksmith type soap with borax. What an issue to get the borax dissolved! Ended up contriving a little mini double boiler with a mug to keep the water warm to get the borax dissolved. Any ideas how to make this easier?

Triple purified tallow and little bit of salt in lye water

These are sooooo beautiful! I only use tallow. The butcher is a very good friend and supplies me. I never purify it at least 3 times before using My huge mold frow old drawer worked perfectly! Decided to go with big old fashioned "boerseep". Got 24 beautifull white bars.

Rendered 20kg of tallow. At last on to the last purifying! Will try my new mold tomorrow. Can't wait!

X rays that I cut and fitted Love it with the seed!

Can take 9.98 liters of soap. Only going to put in 7 liters. If I calculate correctly , that would give we 60 soaps a shot!

Made myself a new mold out of an old drawer. Can't wait to try it!
