January 2024 Soaps

[Margo Nelson]

I just started making soap this past summer and have been having such a great time! This forum has been such a great way to learn. I mostly lurk and read as I am so new at this, but am organized enough today to post some pics.

Here are my most recent batches: Goats Milk and Honey on the left; Lemon (Funnel) Drop in the middle; Ocean on the right.

Nicely done on all of them!

Those yellow swirls are just great! For me, yellow can be so difficult and often disappears into the white. Do you mind sharing which yellow colorant you used?

Thanks! I'm still figuring out how colours will work in the final product!

I just used a mix of some random yellow and a small bit of bronze from some generic mica set I bought on Amazon. Also some TD for the white portion.

Thank you! Next time I'd like a deeper blue, but I was happy with this experiment!

Nicely done on all of them!

Thank you! Also, I haver really learned from your posts and responses on this forum. Big appreciation!

@Margo Nelson thank you!

@AliOop I think Nurture’s Love & Sunshine works well at 3/4 tsp mica per cup of batter.

So no more hiding away now, okay?

I will try! I'm not the most consistent at social sites, but I do read here a lot!
