Lumps of Coal, Christmas Soap

[lizflowers42]

I decided to rebatch with all of the shavings left over from planing my Christmas soaps....I knew it was going to be an ugly brown soap, but I took Genny's suggestion of darkening the soap to make lumps of coal! So far so good! These will go to my coworkers at Christmas

This is great! I think this would be a cute idea. Did you add a scent?

I didn't at first, but after rebatching most of the mixed scents burned off, so I added a sample size of Dragon's Blood by Candle Science (I know that it tends to darken, and it has a spicy holiday note to it.) I am going to make cute little cards for my coworkers and say this year all they are getting is coal

What a cute idea Liz! I bet they'll love it!

I really like this idea, thanks for sharing!

Coloring with charcoal would make a great lump of coal soap! I color all my black using charcoal and make mud & charcoal bars with my rebatch soap

When would you add the charcoal? During the cook or as an additive afterwards?
