Thank you @KimW ! Like everything else this year, I am just embracing the imperfections. Thank you! This group is so nice. I will post some of the soaps that made it into the win column too.

WOW!! Those look amazing.

Thanks @Zing . I appreciate the support. I'm not going to sweat it. It didn't turn out how I planned, but it's not terrible. Non-soapy people won't really know/care. My 2020 soaps will still actually be great soaps to use, they just don't look how I wanted them to. I think I need to be more...

My soaping misadventures have continued. I started off on making a hidden feather soap. I made one last year and wanted to make some changes to the feather color. Trouble is, I used a different (untried) soap recipe and new (untried) EOs. Patchouli was the new one. Basically everything I know...

I sense a theme here between the uterus and the phallus. I’m dying to know what’s next.

It looked fine until I zoomed in and saw the pink, orange, and green. Normally, I'm all for "it's not what you wanted, but it looks great!"... But the best I can do for these is that they're not that bad from the thumbnail. Or from a distance, probably. And I'm sure the soap itself is quite...

Made a drop swirl batch. I lowered the water from a previous recipe and still got glycerin rivers. I like the bars and it feels good to be back to soap making after a long hiatus.

Martha, I am still laughing and crying and it's been 10 minutes and I can barely see to type!! I showed you mine, now you have to show me yours!!😂 Okay @Zing, here it is. I was well on my way to making a perfectly nice oatmeal soap. And then at the last second I tossed in some soap shavings...

Sorry @Zing, it’s truly hideous. If it’s any consolation, I think I just made a batch with baby vomit colored confetti in it.

I love those bars! Such pretty colors. I have finally had a minute to catch up and pull out my soap tools. Made 2 batches yesterday and planning on at least one more batch today. My friends and family like to get them for Christmas. Hopefully they will understand the lateness this year.

Good lord, it's definitely from the same batch of soap. I still haven't used mine, but will take photos when I do.

Ha ha ha!! My phone is trying to spice things up. So much so that this is the second time I’m trying to write this reply. Definitely sure it’s the same soap. I only gave them two bars. I have the same Brooklyn tap (cue Sugar Hill Gang) water, so I will just see what happens with my remaining...

@DeeAnna I have no experience with color morphing, so I’m probably the one who’s not following. :-) I thought the colors morphed when they came in contact with the high ph of the lye. I didn’t know rap water could do that too.

I don’t think it’s a color morph as the remaining bar on my shelf looks like it did originally in the photo. That is why I was so stunned to see the soap at my friend’s house. So stunned I had to take a picture of it. I almost feel like I should take a video when I first use this last bar so I...

Yes, I will do that. Now I’m sad I only have one bar left of this soap. Is this gifter’s remorse? Hee hee.

It’s not soda ash. It looked like this when I cut the bars and didn’t develop the ash. I think I will give it a wash. So odd. Has anyone else had this color “blooming” happen to them?

The ceramic shop has some really pretty options!

I made the soap at the end of September and gave it for Christmas. I still have a bar on my curing rack that looks just the same as it did in the first photo. So it is something about sudsing it up. I just didn’t know this was a possibility. I wonder if @KiwiMoose has experienced this. She and I...

In the fall I tried my first drop swirl. While I was happy with how the swirl looked, I was pretty disappointed in the muted colors. Imagine my surprise when I went to my friends house and saw a bar from this batch in her soap dish. I couldn’t believe how the colors changed. I LOVE the colors of...
