Thx!! I agree.I think it's a very sexy soap...... And the glycerine rivers look like an intentional ghost swirl
What soapy thing have you done today?

I like it! And the glycerin rivers look really cool! Almost like you swirled intentionally.
To me the glycerin rivers look like dragons! Very cool effect! Think up a cool Game of Thrones name and Bob's Your Uncle!

Most of my soaps look like stone haha won't call it a swirl either more like a mix only hehe
But.. I calculate for full water and leave some for after the cook. Mix my lye with just a tad more than 1:1. It makes it fluid enough for a bit so you can do simple swirls.
Try yogurt love.. Works wonders for fluidity. I didn't have any on hand for all my soaps and there's a noticeable difference. And remember to keep everything that touches the soap warm, or as hot as your hands can handle without being scalded.
Oooh it's like a sexy Jon Snow soap... If he was a dragon lols

Sorry i cant accept the lack of acknowledgement of the different rugby codes. SA are a rugby UNION country! Theres also rugby league which is a much superior sport to rugby union. SA has a rugby league team but not a good one. Common british names for unuon include Yawnion, kick and clap, generally played by and supported by rich southern toffs iv seen many players changing codes which have ended up fat as a result from the lack of activity on the pitch. They were orginally the sane code but split off into 2 frations and formed different codes. Hope this hasnt come across too serious but please dont just label rugby as rugby because the 2 codes are worlds apart its league and union not just rugby
On the subject of making a rugby ball shaped soap or something of the like i tried making a soap with my teams colours cherry and white stripped didnt go as planned but smells lovely. Im going to try again and hopefully it will go better with another go thought it would be something cool to give as a sample to the season ticket holders iv sat near for 4 seasons now.
Soapy thing today i fondled some soaps for soaps gave my folks a bar of freshly cured peppermint and eucalyptus eo soap. Got home to my eo and micas in my recycling bin only ordered them on Friday.
@Dawni watch this space for black and white striped soapy fun. Going to have my lunch/tea then going to weigh it all out and make some later

Oh you funny girl you! I don't know what I did this weekend, but it was most definitely NOT what I said I would do. I did set out what I need for the next batch of soap, but still couldn't get myself to make it. I did clean out my recipe binders - not throwing away anything but moving old recipes that won't be repeated any time soon to the "other" binder, and pulled out a few that I want to make soonish... or whenever I feel like making soap again.

These look wonderful! I think something like these would make a great entry for the February challenge.
Sure, had to dig for it, here it is.

Lol fair enough ill let you off then.
Spoke to my dad today about getting his old laptop and its going to be ready hopefully by end of week. It will be my work/soaping laptop so pretty excited to get started and setup.
I ended up having an unintended nap earlier so didnt make the soap or weigh anything so going to cook and wash up all my soaping jugs ect while stuffs cooking well thats the plan if it happens is another matter lol
I split the batch into two - mixed the charcoal powder into one pot, and a bit of TD into the other. poured the charcoal colour back into the white pot and stirred a couple times gently, then poured.
Rugby UNION in NZ, Australia, and SA is not a game for toffs. It is the 'people's game - so quite the opposite to the UK where it is played by rich private school boys at Harrow-on-the Hill. It is the game of choice for the working class.Sorry i cant accept the lack of acknowledgement of the different rugby codes. SA are a rugby UNION country!

Football has only become more popular in the last decade or two, but when i was at school, boys were teased for playing football. My son (11) plays it now and it's well accepted.

Rugby league is a big sport in oz too. Tbh im kinda stereotyping when i say its rich toffs but rugby union players are generally pretty big and i dont mean muscular either. I was always under the impression that nrl and rugby league in oz was a big sport they certainly have a big following. So rugby uniion those countries is like rugby league is in england thats interesting. Rl is very much a northern working class towns dominated game in england but we have a french team, and london in our league and a team in toronto are showing thier force in the second league and looking to get promoted to our top league
I have been wondering about the ambient temp. It's winter here (mostly in the 50's, this is Not winter, people!!) and I'm guessing the apartment is around 68 F, on average. The lye wasn't room temp but probably about 10 - 20 degrees cooler than the oils, not sure. Didn't think about taking the lye temp because 'it is what it is' -- it's not like you're gonna heat the lye up on the stove!!
I just thought I'd have more temperature control in a pan than in a slow cooker.These are my HP soaps from yesterday. I add 1 TBSP PPO yogurt at the end of my HP to help with fluidity. This time, I mixed it with my Sweet Orange, Patchouli, and Ylang Ylang Extra EOs and superfats before adding. The round bars were the remaining batter put in PVC pipe. Not bad detail from the etched molds for an HP soap...
I was going to do more, color and swirl-wise, but I usually break down at the last minute. Still new at this (my 7th soaps), but with Ms. Kiwi on the forum also supposedly being a new soaper just a few weeks (maybe 7 weeks?) ahead of me, that's not much of a functioning excuse any more.

I can buy one more bottle of oil and anything else I'm missing for my LS trial mid-week, but that's it! Going to have to stop making any other soaps for a while because I might get $160 - 190 max in my Feb 15 paycheck, and not sure what the March 1 check will look like because I don't know how many hours I'll be able to do when I go back next week.
I might get some cheap junk oil that I normally would not soap with, just to make the Feb Challenge bars and keep them for decoration. Still thinking about what I might do for that.
