Thank you! I’m feeling MUCH better today!I feel amazing today and hope you feel better tomorrow!
The original looks like a 2-color dancing funnel pour.No soap making today! Almost finished processing the fat though... By the time 6pm hit, the beer had arrived so I'm not doing anything more this evening that involves gallons of boiling oil, or mixing lye.
I did do some planing and tidying, and I cut my experimental pour. I have a notion about how That Soap from the browsing thread was done, and I wanted to see if I could figure it out. I couldn't find any evidence that it's been replicated yet and of course I love a challenge! Plus if I'm right it involves a specific gadget which of course I happen to have
I didn't get the result, but what I did get leads me to believe I'm on the right track, although I think the original was made using a bigger gadget than the one I have
(And a much steadier hand)

It (the soap you linked to) looks very similar to a dancing funnel pour. See Love Affair in this link: Dancing Funnel Link-UpsNo soap making today! Almost finished processing the fat though...

Some of those do look pretty similar! The part that still seems to be missing is the shape of the blobs, and the pattern on the sides. Which is where the gadget aspect comes in.
Thanks, I couldn't find the original. I still believe it's a dancing funnel pour. The design can look very different depending on how fluid the batter is and how one pours it. In this case, I'd say very thin batter and very precise pouring technique, with a very steady hand.Some of those do look pretty similar! The part that still seems to be missing is the shape of the blobs, and the pattern on the sides. Which is where the gadget aspect comes in.
But yes strictly speaking I guess what I did would also be the same technique

That was quite a controversial soap at the time, with some convinced that it was photoshopped, or a layer of soap wrapped around another bar. I don’t think I’ve seen another one quite like it in all my travels.Some of those do look pretty similar!

So glad you're feeling better. I'm a bit nervous about getting my second dose. I got the Moderna and I had an immense headache for 2 days (I don't normally get headaches), and my arm was practically immovable (immobile?) for the day after. I think I will just take the day following my second dose to be on the safe side - and if it happens that I'm fine, then I will make soap or something!
Yes, I read through that whole thread, all the speculations were very interesting! For what it's worth, my theory is that it is indeed 'all in the pour' as I believe she stated, but that she used a device like this to pour all of the blobs at the same time so that they didn't have the opportunity to become circular:

Thank you! AFTER I got back to work today, my physician-assistant-to-be coworker suggested that I should’ve premeded (Tylenol or Advil) before symptoms set in....didn’t think of that. I’m not qualified to give out medical advice, but I wish I’d done that.
I see it now! Man, I was so confused there for a minute!
I validated one of these bad boys once upon a time. The thought of using it in soap makes this lab geek go
Do you pipette for a hobby?Yes, I read through that whole thread, all the speculations were very interesting!

http://www.labcompare.com/1488-Pipets-Pipettor/42555-VIAFLO-96-384-Channel-Handheld-Pipette/I have a hobby version which only holds a very small amount so I couldn't test very well, but the results didn't put me off this theory.
I still can't explain the pattern on the sides but I'm curious as to whether that can be achieved by offsetting the device diagonally for alternating pours
That was me and I cant wait to see your dog butt!!I ordered a bunch of bath bomb molds, one of which is a doggy butt. Cant remember who posted the duck butt but it inspired me to buy a silly bath bomb mold.
I have some exciting personal news. I got a job! It’s not along my career track but I e of my good friends own a wine bar and their chef needs help in the kitchen. I’m enormously flattered to be asked to help in the kitchen. I’m a pretty accomplished cook and am actually REALLY excited. I’ve been unemployed for over a year and have been in an awful mental funk.
As a bonus, my daughter works there and she’s the one who told them to ask me. So not only do I get to work with amazing friends but also my daughter. And being a bit more active and away from my own pantry/fridge will help me work off my COVID flub.
J&J hit me much harder than expected. 4 days of nausea and headache and 7 days of heavy fatigue. Hence why I havent been here much. Better now thoughThat was me yesterday, 2nd Moderna vaccine and 2nd time reacting...UGH... But I did use the down time to get my line of scrubs listed on my website
I feel amazing today and hope you feel better tomorrow!
I’m sorry. And glad you’re feeling better!
