Errr. So I made my first attempt. I was in a hurry (we have company and me disappearing into my soap lair for too long wasn't polite) and my design needs a very fluid batter. I checked on the soap this morning and peeked at the top of the soap. Characteristic crackle look on the surface of the soap. I did not properly emulsify my fats and lye solution. RATS!! I worried that would happen. Used a higher lard/tallow blend and it can be a tricky recipe to see true emulsion. But, that's ok because the design didn't turn out as I had envisioned anyway. And the colors didn't execute.
Back to the drawing board...
