@ResolvableOwl .... I've read through it twice and each time I grasp a bit more. When I first started soaping, for a time, I replaced Olive with canola because it was less expensive and a lighter color compared to my OO. I always would find DOS hiding in my soap closet months later. That was...

I put a towel over the mixer and let it go! Not too bad, plus I let it settle before I remove towel.

I was wondering the same thing and will be following for answers! I searched but didn’t find any pertinent post. I’ve not mastered searching on this forum yet!

My guess is the static electricity got to them and they popped like popcorn all over the place! But I also need to hear this story!!!

I love using Green Tea powder in soap for a warm brown with speckles or some aloe power for a nice tan color. The top one was an attempt at green tea Ombré and the second I used both green tea powder(brown) and aloe powder (tan). The white is kaolin clay.

I make my shampoo bars with both powder and noodles and just put my dry ingredients into my stand mixer and turn it on low for a bit while I measure my liquid stuff. buy the time I add my melted ingredients the noodles are pretty much nonexistent?

No worries, it just makes more sense. But he’s the only one sick. I just took a test before work, just because. He only had a fever Friday, so it could be his normal winter cold…. But maybe another test tonight before bed will tell us more. Glad you’re starting to feel better!

Sooo…I’m originally from West Virginia & have been wanting to try a landscape with a plan in mind. So I was thinking mountains behind a grassy field with wild flowers. This is kinda what I was thinking: And this is what I came up with: Pretty cool for first attempt! Next time less grassy...

I wish I’d seen this Friday… my 16 year old stayed home from school with a sore throat and low fever. After driving all over the place… found test. We both tested negative, but only with nose swabs. Everyone else in the house is feeling fine, he’s just experiencing his usual fall/winter...

Well, this is going to be a challenge for sure! I’m going very artistic… lol! For me that is quite the endeavor! I’m going to try a landscape soap. So I’m attempting my one and only try today and as I get everything measured and mixed, my colors are going to be my problem. I’m not exactly sure...

How exactly did you accomplish that! And will you be able to replicate it!?!?? Lol! It’s beautiful!

I was just getting ready to post this: I did not click… just wanted to pass on the info!

Well not very ombré… but still pretty! I was just trying to get the thick batter into the fluid batter and into the mold. Next time… I’ll try lathering it up tomorrow and maybe wash some dishes with it! See if I can stain up my sink!!! Lol! I do love it though!

I’ll definitely go with less confetti next time…. But these are pretty cool bars! And at 95 cents per bar, even better! Lol! I’m itching to clean them up but doesn’t that defeat the purpose of making confetti soap?

Please do!

Definitely heated up and I thought it was going to volcano!!! I’m really loving the color…it still warm, but pretty solid. I might be able to cut it tonight!

It will lighten up a little through the cure to a more creamy earthy tone. At least mine did. Did you use a FO or EO at all? Lol, I’ve made one batch of neem oil soap and just couldn’t handle the smell. Beautiful soap!!!

Too late! Lol! I didn’t use all 50% of the confetti. But I sure tried to use as much as I could! Lol! I made a big ol’ batch! 24 lbs to be exact! Can’t wait to cut it! The only thing I’m actually worried about is, I just hope the base batter returns back to white. But, I happy with it and...

OK! I have my Red Palm Ombre all planned out. Fingers crossed!!! ETA: Red Palm Oil sure is a pain in the but to measure out and clean up! My mantra was : Its becoming soap, its becoming soap!!! ETA #2: so… Red Palm heats up and accelerates?? Even with a de-accelerating FO…. My white stayed some...
