First, I want to say thank you for all that replied in my earlier post about oxides and helped me understand how to use them. I wanted to share the results. The blue/cream soap made with Clean Linen and the Red, Green, cream soap with woodland Elves (Christmas Soap). Unfortunately I forgot my castor oil in this Christmas Soap but happy with the colors. It might not be useable but at least I was able to practice.

:grin: Thank you lsg! Its soo much fun. I couldn't wait to unmold. There is something so fun about cutting soap.
 
Your colors are really pretty! I especially like the blue. I'll bet it goes perfectly with the Clean Linen fragrance. Why do you think they wouldn't be usable? Because you forgot the castor oil? Was it a really high percentage? Did you try running the numbers through SoapCalc, leaving out the castor oil?
 
Pink cupcake I was thinking that because I left out the castor oil that it would be lye heavy. I ran it through the soap calc as you suggested and its still in normal range! I did it yesterday and I must of did something wrong, because the numbers are different. I did today and it looks a tad more drying than I like, but useable! Super stoked! Thanks for the suggestion! I will zap
test it later to confirm.
Thank you and Renata!
