I think it looks great! You did a good job with the spoon swirl. You may not be happy with the colors but I think they go with the scent.
I agree with Hazel, the colors go really well with that scent...good job!
{and it may just be me, but no matter how many times I hear the name of that FO, I just crack up..I have smelled it many times, {and I like it} but I just cannot bring myself to soap with it

Nice colors and really good looking HP. Nice job.
And I'm with Jani. I always think, so no one could come up with a better name than that? Sorta like the "no poo" movement. LOL.

Thanks everyone! the colors are growing on me LOL! I really wanted a nice orange, and before molding it looked more peach, and now it looks kind of pinkish. And the green looks almost like a sea glass. I did do a full water content and added 1/4 tsp salt ppo to the lye water. That way the soap is a bit more "fluid" to work with, but doesn't take forever to harden up.
As far as the name, kids are the only ones who get a kick out of the name...all of the adults just look at you like you are weird. I may rename it. I do like the scent, but people might not appreciate Monkey Farts soap for Christmas.....unless they are a 9 yo boy LOL!

That is exactly what I would imagine a monkey fart soap looking like. It's wonderful! That's a cheerful looking soap.
Thanks so much for the compliments! I've been making soap for a long time....I'd say about 17 yrs now. The first couple of years were cp, and then hp mostly after that, so I guess you can say I've had a bit of practice LOL!
There are a few different ways to get the hp more fluid without having to wait forever for it to harden up.
1. with a full water content, use a brine solution (take out some of the water, heat the water and dissolve some salt it. Usual usage is 1/4-1/2 tsp ppo. Cool it then add it back in and add your lye
2. with full water content use sodium lactate (I am not a big fan of SL...it does work as far as fluidity and hardness but I find it can diminish the scent, also it gave my dd's a rash) I have not used SL in a very long time I couldn't tell you the usage rates.
3. Yogurt when soaped forms sodium lactate. I usually freeze it first to help keep the color a little lighter. I do a 50% lye solution, then add enough yogurt to make it equal to a 28% lye concentration. The yogurt is stick blended into the oils before the lye is added. This will turn a light tan color so be aware and choose your fo's /eo's accordingly. hope this helps
