Well not beautiful

[MakeArtNotWar]

but I'm still ridiculously stoked with my first two batches.. I have no idea if they are good but they look decent! I was relieved at how unscary working with the lye was, I took all the precautions but I was prepared for a fight club type disaster. The only issue I had was getting them out of the mold and cutting them in uniform sizes..

Oh and I thought I had not spilled any of the lye crystals until one got stuck to my arm, akk.

Here ya go Thanks for looking.

What scents did you use??? The bottom looks like a coffee soap - I have some I did for the kitchen, an odor eliminator soap. good stuff! nice job!!!

Thank you! I am like a proud mom with them and no one I know "gets" it and thinks I'm insane, lol!

The top has cucumber melon for the scent and the bottom I made with espresso instead of water, some ground coffee, and a cappucinno scent (I wish I had used just coffee though.)

Cure baby cure!

Thanks everyone! I am officially becoming an addict and just finished my fourth batch. I am actually dreaming about soap!!

I got annoyed the other day at a craft shop when I asked about soaping supplies and the lady practically had her eyes roll out of her head when she replied that "making soap was just a fad and no one carries the stuff anymore." Super rude about it. :x
