Hahaha. Still waiting on supplies to come but i had to feed my new soaping obsession lol. I have been messing with castile soap, only because its what i can get from the grocery store while i wait. I just feel like i need some practice time in...
I have made a few unscented batches, but i had a cranberry fragrance that i was dying to try, plus i wanted to try my hand at making a “mica line” which i ended up using cocoa powder for.
I had my pretty soap batter ready to go, not even at trace yet. I added my cranberry and whisked and whisked. Still no trace after a good long bit, so i zapped it with the SB for about a minute. Still nothing. So figuring this might be a while, i took off my gloves and ran to pee real quick. When i came back, it was wet cement lol. I could barely get the SB out of it.
Nooooooo..
Determined to save my soap, I started glopping it into the mold and quickly trying to get my cocoa powder lines in lol. It WAS practice after all.
It took two days of soaking, scraping, and rinsing to get my blender clean.
without further adieu, here is my ugly soap. P.S....my curing room smells wonderful. Not quite cranberry, more like a Christmas store
