Not very soapy but all afternoon I was discussing with an engineer and architect, layout and stuff for a soapmaking room. I won't have to make stuff in the kitchen once it's done 🥰 My parents are renovating their house so they decided to give me a section of the plot that's currently sitting...

Pretty! I'm liking simple bars with sharp contrast

The hacking made some nice swirls.. Very interesting ones :)

The weighing..... Lol

I see the Queen from Aliens! The one with Sigourney Weaver.. Lol Without the crown thingy it does look like a doggy Those are all cool looking though. And yey for a fun time with the grandsons :)

Sexy looking bars I think :)

Ah, sorry about that then. In that case, your best place to learn about water is here and here, if you've not been before. If you have and you're still confused, I suggest reading again. It took me a while too in the beginning and I still go back every now n then when I'm trying something new.

Lol I did test a high RBO soap and found that one month really wasn't enough. In fact that particular one got better only after 3-4, so even 8 weeks wasn't enough. Lowering the RBO lessened the cure time, but I still won't sell or gift mine before 8wks. Try yours at different times n see 😊 I've...

When I'm lazy I do a cabbage stir fry.. Lots of garlic n onions, tomatoes, chilis, the cabbage of course (not too thin strips) and whatever else I might have that goes with (usually it's carrots lol). If it's one of those days there's nothing else then I don't mind just the cabbage. Could be as...

With 4% SF I'd reduce my coconut, if it was me. The amount left you can then split that plus the current shea amount between both cocoa and shea. Both will harden your bar and increase longevity as well. More coconut also increases solubility. Personally I don't go over 20% and my SF is...

Lovely, as always :) I'm reminded of strawberry sundaes lol

This will depend a lot on your recipe, some need more, some need less. Unless you're using just one hehe.. Gorgeous soap btw :)

I did it by water coz it was easier for me lol, especially when I used to wing it haha. You may be overthinking it too, happens to us all. Decide what amount of water you're comfortable with mixing lye in, and use puree for the rest. That's what I did haha. I'm sure you can translate that to...

Or some other additive with sugars. I love lard soaps.. Mine come out not white but close to it as well. Other than that one time I seem to have burned the coconut milk lol

Still look beautiful though :)

I like those tops :)

Haha no.. My short experience tells me that soap can surprise you lots. Wait n see, it might not turn back to yellow but it'll change for sure. And if it's a good recipe, you and yours won't mind the color, especially if they don't know you wanted yellow lol

Oooh the tie dyes ones look like tassels, so cool :) I like the effect of the way charcoal line actually And yes, cutters are a game changer lol

Looks good! What are the colors you used? If you wait some days or a week to stamp, the details come out more 😉

They should lighten up some. Most my soaps lighten up lots the next day lol and more so after even if they're stored in the dark. Your green gives it a marble effect. Nice actually :)
