here's pictures of the soaps I have made so far, minus the first couple batches I made to get familiar with the process.
The green/blue bar riced horribly (before adding FO), I rebatched after about a week - tongue tested the white spots - no zap - did not add any oils or liquids. I especially like the colors in this batch. It's scented with Ktima.
The four layer did rice slightly while I was mixing to trace - but it seemed to tame down. Did fine after I added the FO, but then started solidifying once I stopped mixing and started dividing into different containers for layers. I wanted the colors vibrant - kind of came out muted to me. Scented with Endless Love.
The orange/brown batch. This was a real foopah (how do you spell that?). I was trying to use up some of the red palm oil that I have, knew it would come out orange, so wanted to add purple swirls and top layer. Well, appears purple and orange make brown. Since I was thinking orange and purple, I thought using up some of my tiny bits of floral scents would be nice - now I wish I would have used pumpkin or something along those lines.
The orange/blue is scented with sweet orange.
And the green and off white bar is scented with cool cucumber.
I think soaping is fun - I can tell I'm going to need a lot more practice to get them looking the way I would like. Going to make a smaller log mold so I can do half the batch I am doing now.
