My entry is scented with Bamboo and Sugarcane from RE. Colors are Vanna White from MM. Amaranth Pink and New Leaf from Nurture. I first poured about half the white into my 4" CC mold, then set about making circles in two spots, it's a small mold so this is no easy feat! I used my tiny...

earlene, that is great news, not about Sam's closing, but about Davenport getting a Costco, I'm always envious of the stuff my SIL gets from there and I'm only about 40 minutes from D-Port!

Kittish, that's right, it wouldn't stick together, just sort of fell apart when I touched it.

An attempt to make some confetti soap gone terribly wrong in the top photo. I grossly miscalculated the amount of confetti, it just went so wrong LOL, and as if that wasn't bad enough, the bottom photo is the rebatch, I really wanted to forget it ever happened, and then I saw this thread :)

Thanks for the update Carolyn, so glad it's treatable :)

1. Kittish 2. dibbles - <3 this! 3. newbie- I have an eye to doing this a bit differently but still ending up with a heart in the middle. That's okay, I hope! 4. earlene - Hooray! I've been away from the challenges for too long, so am looking forward to this one. 5. BattleGnome - which mold...

Welcome Troy! LOVE those bike soaps, I'm an avid cyclist :) those are adorable!

Wait....you tasted it? :shock:

Hi Penelopejane, I have scented my coffee soaps both ways, unfortunately I have not found a coffee FO that does not discolor so maybe someone knows of one, I'll be watching this thread to see if there are any. I finally gave up on the coffee FO's and used "Blue Sugar" the last time I made a...

praying for the best for J

jewels, that is gorgeous! I love the colors! And the swirls, and the gold :)

That's exactly what I was thinking when I looked at the painting, "I want to go there!" Beautiful!

Thank you Zany, very helpful, now that I've done the multi-quote the true test will be if I can remember how to do it next time :) I have cut the next two deer tallow soaps. The one on the left is 30% DT, 30% lard, 25% OO pomace, 10% CO, 5% Castor I did a little gold mica swirl in there...

I think this will be my 4th test batch! :) thank you for your input

Thank you! I was wondering if lard and tallow could be used together, I don't have any shea butter any more, stopped buying it in favor of lard. The 50 and 75% deer tallows both traced super slow, this morning I made a 30% deer tallow that traced much faster. Thank you for the suggestions...

I have unmolded the two deer tallow soaps this morning. I was not going to use any color but since I decided to make one batch with 75% tallow and one with 50%, I put a drop swirl of brown in the 75% and green in the 50% just so it would be easier for me to keep them straight. So here they...

SaltedFig, that helps! I think I can now multi quote a message :) Thank you!

BG, the rendered tallow is virtually odorless. I am hoping to make a batch today and see how it comes out. I don't have any lard smell with any of my soaps and I soap with lard at 50%. So we'll see how the deer tallow comes out. I still can't figure out how to multi-quote a message :(

Will do Toxicon, I'm curious too. I have not used beef tallow but my "go to" recipe is 50% lard and I love the soap, so hopefully I'll love this too! With DH, two sons and a family friend being deer hunters, I will have an abundance of fat to render.
