Wow, entry soaps are spectacular! And I love hearing about the personal stories that inspired everyone’s creations.

I used to use AVJ for my 50/50 MB lye solution. Never had any issues with undissolved lye.

Oh my gosh, thank you, everyone! This was a challenging challenge. And well done @Mobjack Bay @dmcgee5034 and @Nicolesica!! ❤️

Oh, I’ll have to try that! Who makes the berry rhubarb fragrance oil?

Thank you! ❤️

This particular challenge was a good opportunity to use The Sage’s Rhubarb and Sugar Cane fragrance oil that I’ve had for a while. Wanted to incorporate the greenish yellow and red from actual rhubarb. Colors did not come out exactly as I had hoped but I’m fine with it. Some “curls” I made...

Ack! Not sure I’ll have an entry ready in time. Haven’t had time to make a second attempt.

Made my first attempt. For this go at it, I wanted to see what proportions I'd need to get the desired color. The result was surprising. Will know more once I cut it. It won't be my entry.

Thank you for the work you do to feed the hungry. ❤️

@Mobjack Bay - I recall you mentioning a while back that you wanted to make this a challenge. So glad you did because it’s been months since I’ve had an interest in investing time to make soap. I feel motivated to make soap!
