My backyard. 😉 It's from a goat I processed this past fall.

I got to make soap today! Made a batch of @Obsidian's salt bars and also my first ever batch of 100% goat tallow soap. The salt bars went phenomenally, the goat tallow. . . . not so much. It accelerated like wild and became the consistency of mash potatoes withing like five seconds of stick...

Never heard of it. I wonder what they are using to scent it. I really don't know how I feel about this. Seems like a marketing gimmick that doesn't fill a need anyone has. I mean if you want to smell a nice smell while yarn crafting, light a candle.

You are my hero. 😆

You can't come up with stuff?! :eek: It was way too easy for me to get to $25. 😅 I'm not going to get any FOs though. My New Year's resolution was to not buy any more FOs until I've used at least half of what I already have.

Well I think I'm sold. I don't sell yet, so only my nose really matters. I love unusual/offbeat soap smells though, so I'll probably like it. I think I'll give it a go! Not that I really needed to spend $25 at WSP to get a FO I definitely don't need, but hey it feels great to feed my...

I got a coupon from WSP for a free 2 oz FO for completing a survey, and I'm thinking about trying their Thunderstorm FO. The notes on it say that it accelerates a little and cure to pink, which is why I've been hesitant to give it a go. Does anyone have pictures of the amount of discoloration...

REO = Rosemarry Oleoresin Extract DOS = Dreaded Orange Spots (a sign of rancidity) Oops didn't see that AliOop had it covered. 😅

Prim had three born last night. ☺️

😄 The greatest part about them is that you must use them by holding them in your hand and petting them. 🐸

I know, right?! 😂 I don't really like to use cavity molds for soap, so I thought I was safe from amassing a collection, but nope! Darn lotion bars. 🙃

The bee and the swirl are both Milky Way molds I got from WSP, and the clover is a silicone mold that came free with one of those cheap soap making supply kits from amazon. The plastic molds work great for lotion bars. I have to be careful when unmolding them or they'll jump right out when the...

I very surprised to hear you say that, which one didn't you recognize?

On Saturday my sister and I made a bunch of lotion bars and I made a liquid goat tallow lotion for the first time. We had way too much fun and love the results of our "work". This first one is uncolored and scented with lavender eos. This one was our first attempt at coloring them. We...

I'm not sure why you'd need a preservative. Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I know I wouldn't personally add any if I was using it just for myself.

It's so awesome to have a beekeeper in your life to supply you with bee products. My beekeeper sister and I are going to make a bunch of lotion bars today. I've been excited about it for days. Going to try coloring some and we have some new fun molds to use too!

Happy New Year! 🎉🥂🎆🎊🎇🥳

Absolutely beautiful. I got some indigo powder for Christmas and have been trying to decide what method of coloring I want to use, so it's great to see the color infusion can achieve.

That would be a great topic!

Yes all of this. It would also be great to hear interviews with other soapmakers and hear their experiences how they started their businesses, their favorite techniques, etc.
