What kind of color does it give you?Haven't done a lot of soapy things in the past couple of days - my back is very sore so no lifting, bending or twisting right now. The most really has been focusing on dock root prep for the challenge.
Luckily we have lots of our on the garden, so husband has been helping me dig it up.
Here's a recent batch:

While infusing it absorbed an awful lot of the oil so I put a weighted plate on it to try to squeeze it out again. It's now infusing with another lot of oil to see how a "second pressing" comes out.
Where's @Zany_in_CO's swoon gif???Much material with added bloody pieces, containing pieces of meat ... Argh, I had to dump three quarters or even more of it in the trash container.
Tara, I don't believe in cleaning all these bloody and/or meaty pieces successfully. One batch of tallow I'd rendered looked clean but when I poured lye solution into oils stringy bits formed that I had much difficulty to remove. And I have no chicks to feed these bits.Where's @Zany_in_CO's swoon gif???
The bloody bits, meat etc all come out in the wash, so to speak, no need to dump it!
We usually do a first boil without the salt and strain out all of the (now cooked) bits - it's just about the chickens' favourite treat ever.
No reason I guess other than I posted pictures of the two other OPW soaps I made. This one was an illegal pour into the pot (I poured some of the white batter through the black) and the accent colors were too similar.@dibbles Why haven't you showed off that top swirl yet?
Thank youSorry you haven't been feeling well,@Peachy Clean Soap! I hope once the worst is behind you it will have been worth it after all.
Sorry you weren't feeling well! I find piping practice is an excellent reason to make cupcakes and frosting, too.Hello Friends'
Since last Tuesday & 2nd jab vaccination I've felt just awful' dinner last night was first meal sense last Friday. Finally today i'm feeling better. I'm not one who gets sick often & wont go to the Doctor unless i'm dying. I almost made an appointment yesterday morning, then I started feeling better so decided to wait a Day. Hopefully I'm on the road to recovery. This 2nd covid vaccination is "Toxic" If they come up w/ an annual booster for covid vaccination "No Way Will I Ever" Take It... ( If I had to do over I wouldn't of taken this covid vaccination ) especially Jab 2.
Yesterday I worked on soap piping' thats quiet an art' which I now have a newfound respect for soap piping artiest, I saved the rest of batter after it got so hard I couldn't pipe it for "soap dough" I think I'm gonna make another batch of soap & practice piping & more soap dough for our June challenge. I dreamed about this challange' so maybe I'll use my Dream for inspiration, cause frankly I'm @ at loss.
Still waiting on my soap supplies' maybe they will arrive in the next few Days?.
Great news' I sold to a friend (first time) a few months back, she contacted me this morning & said 'We love your soap & I have a few bars left, but I'm gonna place an order next month. Yay this just made my day ❤.
I'll close on that note' make it a wonderful Day friends.
The first time I piped was on the Soap Cupcakes' Thx so much for the reminder thats a wonderful idea. Yah know every one I'd given a cupcake to' for their Birthday they just got the biggest kick from them' much to my surprise didn't think I'd get such a positive feedback, I wrapped a single cupcake in a little box all decorated up. often times it's not so much as the gift but how its wrapped. In this case it was both.Sorry you weren't feeling well! I find piping practice is an excellent reason to make cupcakes and frosting, too.
Wow. Wow. Wow. I love that teal against the black!Cut my column pour soap:
