I love the little dragon fruit seeds! It’s a very pretty soap.Been busy with my dragonfruit trial and error for three days straight. Hah! No luck with getting a color. Might have to give up and use pink clay instead. Thinking of an ombre pattern.
Today's batch produced a similar result as attached.

I told myself that.... Then some other time came and then some more others hahaI had nanny duty for my grandson all weekend so I wasn't even home. No soapy stuff for me till next weekend. On the plus side - most of my soaps are ready to come off the drying rack so I lots of room to make more. I'll worry about what to do with it all some other time.

Thank you @Mobjack Bay.I love the little dragon fruit seeds! It’s a very pretty soap.
Ahah. You're into white soaps. Thank you @runnerchickiI love white soaps. These look great!
Looking forward to your pink clay one. I've noticed different shades of pink from different sources of pink clay.Will do my 4th and fifth run today. One I will try to color with dried and powderized dragonfruit meat whilst the other I will use pink clay. Still going to put actual dragonfruit meat on both. Pics to follow.
Nice! What did you use as colorants?I made my first tiger swirl! I'm so happy with how it came out! I used activated charcoal for the black half of the batter and didn't color the other half. I'm not sure how I know if it gelled or not, but it was covered and quite warm for many hours after I made it. And I was able to cut after 24 hours.
Wow - that's a lot of lard!Made a big batch of Eucalyptus Spearmint - everyone who smells it just falls in love! I can't keep it on hand. I gave some to my physical therapist today and she about fell over herself with excitement. Here's the new batch:

Also, I received an 85lb Soaper's Choice order...if you ever wondered what 50lb of lard looks like all divided up, here you go! Stick blender head for scale.
