Sooooo....I added the water to my lye....realized my mistake immediately and was able to stir it quickly and didn't get hit with a lye volcano. Sheesh that took a year off of my life.

My sister said Matisse, so maybe you’re on to something

Made a batch of soap colored with pink clay. Decided to try out an idea I had to make pink toe beans in these paw molds. It *almost* worked. I poured the pink in and tried to squeegee it out of the main cavity. It was super messy. I’m going to try again using a squeeze bottle. Will definitely be...

I made a batch of soap and thought "Why not use yellow?". After I made it, I saw the November soap challenge, but hadn't photographed my split batter. Oh well. I did a hanger swirl and it reminds me of birds. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.

That is sooo gorgeous. I second @Zing in wanting to see the cut soap.

Here's my latest drop swirl soap with faces in them. So weird!

Whelp, you asked for it. I cut it and most were normal swirls, but then I got to these two. My facial bars. I seem to make creepy faces in soap. Here's a link to a thread on faces in soap. But since you asked, I just poured the orange and pink in lines down the mold at varying heights. Then...

I used Brambleberry's Queen's Purple mica (it is old, so not sure if they still have this color). I added a 1t. in a 2lb batch. I held back some batter to do the white swirl, but it wasn't much. Honestly it looked like murky mud when I made it and thought it was a fail. But then it went through...

I crawled out from under my rock to make soap and say hello. I made 4 batches and only forgot the FO in one of them. I like to give soap to friends/family for Christmas, so have to get cracking! Great to see all the fun things you guys are making.

My soapy thing was to read the last few pages of this forum. I moved at the end of October and my soap making supplies are still boxed up. My daughter is flying home from a semester in London and is stuck at the airport in Iceland. I’m checking in with you guys while I’m on hold with the airline.

Popping in after a long hiatus to say hello! I just moved into my first house and am unpacking and doing some renovations. So I doubt there will be much in the way of soap making this Fall. But I am feeling the itch. Hi to everyone!!

So cool! I actually see falcon faces in profile in the individual ones.

WOW! That’s so cool. It’s a very pleasant face. Mine were just downright creepy. The colors are perfect too. Red for the lips. I think your soap has almost a sonogram quality to it. Thanks for sharing.

Really? It’s just me with the faces?

How about powdered goat’s milk that’s not mixed well. Kind of along @ResolvableOwl ’s suggestion of the TD?

At @Zing ’s suggestion I thought I would start a thread for people to post their soaps that have faces. @Catscankim has a good one... This drop swirl that I just cut has comic book villain faces.

Oh wow! That one is good. I will start a face thread to go along with the meat soap thread. https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/faces-in-soap.86831/

I could definitely not replicate that. Not that I would want to. 😂 Although on Tree Marie’s FB group someone posted a soap with a face and several other people added to the thread. So I guess it happens fairly often.

Taught a friend to soap the other day. I had her mix the colors and fragrances and I did the actual soapy part. The first one has a creepy comic-book villain face in the drop swirls, and the Taiwan swirl I’m calling licorice Allsorts meets March of the penguins. The micas really faded. The...

Are you tossing meadowfoam oil out for a newer, younger ingredient?
