I have used it a few times. It looks pinky at first but is a true red in soap. It doesn’t bleed which is a big plus.

The pic I have attached is shaving soap that was gelled and non gelled. you can see that they look very different in appearance. This is the same batch of soap.

I found this website that has lots of examples: https://www.stoneadd.com/products/Purple-Marble-Slab

1. Catscankim have been wanting to try this technique 2. Primrose - love this style! Hopefully, I don't lose my marbles trying to achieve it ... 3. Arimara - I may fail but at least I'm experienced with this brand of fail. XD 4. Elizevh - Oooh, So Pretty. I can't wait to try this out. 5. dibbles...

:lol:

They should be washed after each use. Once I have enough made I can just toss them in the laundry, until then I will hand wash each night.

Congratulations winners there were so many nice soaps this month. i know I had a tough time choosing three. Dibbles thank you so much for hosting such a fun challenge.

So I have to wear masks daily and I did order surgical masks but I wanted something pretty. I hate anything up on my face and spent a ridiculous amount of money on a mask with a rendering of Starry Night. I hate it. I decided I needed lighter fabric because in fabric masks I feel like I...

I made a promise to myself that I would enter every challenge in 2020. I have never won (in 2020), but month after month I learn something. I make much better soap than I did a year ago and have more techniques in my wheelhouse.

I had issues with the second pitcher going over the first instead of pushing it. I also found that bright colors, especially printer ink colors muddy to brown very quickly. My first try was lava and I used volcano scent. It was okay and I wanted to love it but nope, homeless shelter soap

This is my entry. I think when I poured I didn’t pour each corner long enough. I also had an issue with it not staying fluid enough when I filled the second pitcher. for better or worse I give you “printer disaster”.

@Jerseygirl if those are the non-entries I can't wait to see the good one!

It has been a year since I started my soaping evolution and I began using the first bar I ever made in the shower. I have to say I like the recipes I make now better. I am not a fan of high OO soap and this was 30% OO and 15% AO. The bar feels okay, too creamy for me but, the scent retention...

This video is very helpful

I have an extra oven in the basement for CPOP and I filled one of the aluminum hot table pans with water and covered it. I keep it on the lower rack and the heated water helps keep the oven temp even. I heat up the oven and then turn it off when I put the soap in, turn on the light and leave...

Yes, I found that too. Especially on my last try as I used copier colors, cyan, magenta and yellow........eek.

Well I snuck in another attempt after work and before I made the meat loaf. fingers crossed it comes out okay. Not perfect but I like the colors. They did muddy at the end even with two pitchers......oh well.

You can also try using a higher water content. I used a 30% lye solution instead of 33.33%; not much more water but it does make a difference.

I really wanted to get another go in but, it is food preservation season and I have salsa to can and sauce to freeze and eggplant to bread! Water is boiling to peel tomatoes as I type this. Way too much on a school night!! Anyone want zucchini? Okay stop the groaning, I know everyone is sick...

Even CP stable greens are notorious for morphing. I have one that goes baby diarrhea brown before morphing back to green. I have another that looks like olive green and ends up a lovely spruce green. It may go green in time, but if it was not CP stable then you are most likely out of luck.
