What soapy thing have you done today?

[Marshall]

Did my first spoon swirl this morning and am going crazy waiting the 24 hours to un-mold and cut. Began construction on a corner planer to remove those sharp edges.

I have done 2 soaps in the last 2 days. First is a mix of Nurture's OMH and Lavender FO, the next is BB Ginger Patchouli FO.

Finally started my Lilly Pads for the March challenge.

First attempt at a spoon swirl . Not exactly spring colors but it's what I had to work with. Hemp soap with spearmint, eucalyptus and patcholi.
Pretty happy with it though.

What is your take on the Ginger Patchouli FO? Sounds interesting

It is interesting. I don't smell much patch in it - it has a kind of spicy/sweet scent once soaped. Next time I think I will add a little patch EO to bring the basenote out some more.

Nice Irish Flag for St Paddy's week!

I really like how your layers of color came out.

I ordered it on Amazon. It was actually a sheet of 4 different designs. I cut it apart to fit my mold. I'm kind of obsessed with impression molds right now.

Me too.

Ok, so I guess I am slow but I don't understand how that mat is used. I would think the mat would produce a negative image but looking at the soap, which is amazing by the way, the image looks like a positive and in a highlighted color?

You put the mat in the bottom of the mold, and make a small amount of colored batter. Using a spatula, you scrape the colored soap into the mat so that it fills the mat, but leaves none out of the mat. Then pour the rest of the batter into the mold.

Goat milk with oatmeal, one scented with Lemongrass and green tea, another.............well I forgot to add FO, it is going to be unscented

Finally had some time to myself. I am doing a happy dance! Last night hubby and I picked up a small used bread rack on wheels with no shelving so we got it cheap at a food equipment place. I went and bought some egg crate light grating and cut it with a band saw for shelving. I now have a soap drying rack. No more wally world vinyl covered racks sitting on my closet shelving. It is 6 foot tall. 30" wide and 10" deep.
