Oh Lordy, I need help

[KiwiMoose]

I use soy wax, coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter totalling 60%, and liquid oils ( obviously totalling 40%) are RBO, OO Avocado and Castor. Used to have a separate recipe for swirling (higher in OO) but I've learned to work with my usual recipe enough that I just use that for everything now.

I’ve never actually worked with soy wax, except in shaving soap. I imagine you get a lot of bubbles and creamy lather, yes?
Hmmmm…. I think I need to do some research! Once again, thank you @KiwiMoose. I appreciate your sharing all so much!!

Let us know how it goes - and how you like it compared to your previous batches.

@KiwiMoose … not what I envisioned as far as the sky part, but the little calico kitty is exactly what I wanted. All in all, I’m pleased. Thank you SO VERY MUCH for all of your kind input and patience!

I made these for the local animal shelter to sell during their New Years drive. Hopefully they’ll be completely cured and ready to package by then!

They look lovely and you are very welcome

How unique! Very impressive. The shelter will make a boatload! Psst, next time, make a Tortoise Shell batch.

That’s a good idea! I was going to do a tuxedo with a lime green background, but I do love a tortoise shell. Sadly, I’ve not been able to find a single dog-shaped scraper

I also think next batch I’m going to try soap dough instead of a candy mold for the top. Those candy molds are a real pain.

These are really cute, and what a kind thing to do for the shelter.

Awww thank you. I’m hoping the grainy appearance will fade away and even out. Nothing as good as any of yours, but I am happy with how they turned out.
