SMF December 2023 Un-Challenge - Pretty Leftovers

[dmcgee5034]

Here’s my first confetti soap I made with some scrap pieces , I wish you guys could smell through the screen , it smells so good! I made an essential oil blend that smells very tropical, so I’ve named this soap tropical storm even though it looks like the grey padding that goes underneath carpet
Not sure what I was supposed to copy and paste , I’ve pretty new to this forum.
Merry Christmas y’all !!!

Very nice! Anyone else see teeth taking a bite out of the soap?

I think that’s really neat looking - love the colors! What was the EO blend that you used?

No, they were gelled. A tiny bit of ash on the top surface, which of course becomes the bottom once turned out of the mold.

Leftovers from a batch using Himalayan Rhubarb infused in olive oil.

Little monster bars for little hands. Leftovers from a loaf scented with Wild cranberry and Aspen FO. Loaf has more green and desert rose.

Thank you! My daughter saw the mold while shopping, brought it home to me, and said, "the kids will love these." I donated some that I made a couple of months ago to a food pantry and the director emailed me and said the kids grabbed them up when they realized they could have monster soap to use in their baths. It's the little things.

I made four batches of soap this week! All four had split lye solution + oils to make layers and three of them had ITPS and/or OPW elements, so suffice to say my bowls needed a lot of scraping. I like to keep these tiny little molds (~0.3 oz) on hand for overflow. As you can see, they never really get neatly filled but I think that's part of the fun of it. It's always interesting to see how the spatula smears mingle together.

Bonus: you can see them properly filled in with MP soap. The molds are the different Elements from a video game I like to play.

That's all. Have a restful December, everyone~

Genshin fan, are we?

Sneaking in with a few last minute leftover soap pics! In both cases the soap is made from coldish batter leftovers that I heated in the microwave for 5--15 seconds before pouring into the molds.
