I owe you all a huge thank you; I've learned so much from this forum - used 2 of your recipes (thanks Hazel, and whoever posted the recipe for "hard white bar" in the recipe section), and on top of it...you've taught a middle-aged person how to post pictures on a website!
Here's what I've done:
The first and third row are Hazel's lard recipe, the blue spotted bars are hot process with FO and blue coloring from Nature's garden (color doesn't mix in at all, but ended up liking the "starry night" effect.
The other two soap are the hard white bar recipe, both cold process. The beige bar was slightly altered with the addition of 5% cocoa butter...which made a big difference in hardness. The swirly bars are the same type of coloring from NG but stick blended, and peppermint EO. Did a pour method I saw on YouTube, with a couple swipes from a chopstick.
These are all 1 pound batches, used a Glad leftover container for the mold, which is perfect for that amount.
All of the soaps were cut by our 6 year old!! Of course, she wants to keep all of the pink/blue ones.
