Cut my first batch of @Zany_in_CO 's No Slime Castille soap. It felt and smells amazing and now I'll have to impatiently be patient for it to cure to perfection. I've been printing out and cutting labels for the soap I will be giving as holiday gifts. Naming soaps is hard. Don't laugh at mine.
We have an Ikea wardrobe that has a pull out mesh drawer, which I've turned into my curing rack. I think I'm a genius. hee hee. But honestly I've pretty much filled up that drawer. It's a good thing that I'm sending out these soaps soon.

Yay!!!! They look great! I can’t wait til my stuff comes! What kind of mold did you use? I have a silicone muffin mold and a semi-circle hard plastic candy type mold.
It's a shallow silicone muffin tray - like a little tart kinda thing.

So I only recently started posting my soaps on Instagram under my business name.... And woo-hoo! Got my first IG order for 8 soaps from a stranger! So far I've only sold to (extended) family, their friends and a few of mine through word of mouth.
It's exciting but at the same time I'm nervous lol what if they don't like em? I hope they do though...

That's so cool Dawni! I've been thinking about setting up Instagram - so maybe I will go ahead and do that now.

What’s your Instagram name? I’m sure your customers will love your soap!
Perfect Bituminous Lump of Coal MP Soap---activated charcoal, black knight mica, anise EO. Get out your chef's knife and cut, gouge, make it look like a rock pick loosened from a bed of coal. Shiny, and smells great...Good stocking stuffer using WholesaleSupplies Plus labels printed on glossy photo paper with inkjet printer. Place in burlap bags for sale---result is stunningly real. No photo because they had to be shipped for sale last night, but will make more.

Add some lanolin and this is very close to the lbussey version. Which I have found to be perfect for me.

congrats Dawni!!!!!
SURPRISE!! @Marilyn Norgart
Here's the cut pics of my Black Raspberry Vanilla soap. The surprise is that it's a combo deal - back confetti soap on the bottom and a drop swirl on the top. I'm very happy with the outcome, and it makes for a cheap bar of soap since 15% of it was just using up confetti.

Many thanks for the suggestion. I actually bought a little bottle of lanolin, and I think I'll have to add some to the next batch. A lot of shavers say very good things about Mitchell's and that stuff goes baah.

What a great idea! You’re so creative!
I know! I just delivered a bunch of soaps to a local shop in our small town and I’m worried about customer reactions, too!
I love them!
