Today, its pumpkin poop
I don't. I also leave mine uncoloured because I love the pure white of the bars.
I made a batch of salt soap this morning. My daughter and son-in-law and two grands are here and my daughter wanted to see how I make her fave soap. My son-in-law was absolutely fascinated by the whole process and is actually encouraging my daughter to start making soap if she is so inclined. He's even tempted to try his hand at it.
Pooping did not go as well as expected. Everything was fluid and lovely until I added the FO. HP doesnt normally Soap on a stick on me, but it basically happened. Fast forward, add hot sugar water and melt it down as much as I can.. so basically I rebatched my pumpkin poop soap before it even got in the molds. no clue how they will come out. time will tell.
Your post made me laugh but gave me an idea! You could probably easily pipe a poop soap onto some wax paper from a zip lock bag, with a thick batter with coarsely ground oatmeal added for texture. No two poops would be alike. Lol!
here are the ones that turned out and the ones that didnt. Im planning to paint pumpkin faces on them with mica once they are more dry

I finally made my marble soap!
Annnnnd...friends, I think it was a disaster.
I'm not even upset. There were a lot of "firsts" for me with that batch so it's fine. I just think it's funny. Even if it doesn't look great it'll smell good.
Me: spends days and weeks painstakingly getting the right ratio of FO's for a scent blend concept.
Also me: Fails to account for the fact that she's making a larger batch than usual and doesn't have enough of one component, so all that careful testing goes right out the window.
I subbed for a scent that was similar so I think it'll be fine.
I just.... I'm ridiculous you guys.

Yesterday, I did a small batch with a FO that 50% of the reviews said behaved perfectly, and 50% said it accelerates like a freight train. So being the sensible individual I am, I divided the batter for a 6 color swirl, and also included honey in the recipe. Weird results: my water-soluble TD and Trial by Fire Mica barely accelerated, Key West Blue and I forget which yellow went medium- thick trace, and Koi orange and Metallica brown became un-pourable almost instantly. Since some of my batter remained pourable, I did my rounds of layers as planned and tried some swirls, but mostly wound up shaking the mold (loaf) to get the runny colors to fill in the gaps. Some air holes in the brown, but still colorful, the fragrance (BB Woodland Elves) is to die for, and it was with a new recipe anyways.
Also, I wanted some solid acceleration experience ahead of attempting my first attempt at a marble pour today, since I wanted to use acceleration to get good veining (different FO, though). I have mixed feelings about how that went, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see the cross-cut.

Cut pics! Not as planned 100% but almost there hehe. I'm just glad I'm getting thin swirls in my HP aside from my usual blocky, abstract designs.I thought that before I read it! Cool soap
Made a double batch of triple rice soap today. Its been selling and I don't want to run out hehehe. Pictures tomorrow! I'm excited to see the inside coz I tried some new swirling today. The tops are my usual bleh... Lol

@Dawni is that you??? Stunning eyes. 
Making a neon "halloween" swirl soap today. Black, orange, green, purple.
Also steadfastly NOT opening, peeking at or otherwise bothering yesterday's soap (I'm really bad about looking at soap/peeking and unmolding too early and it's given me some ash problems I think)
so today I'm being VERY good and leaving DisasterSoap alone.

@GemstonePony ... Key West Blue accelerates for me every time.
I'd heard that, so I was expecting Key West, Trial by Fire, and TD to be my most accelerated colors, so I'm honestly surprised they stayed pourable while orange and brown had to be glopped.

If I knew stamping soap was so much fun I'd have saved up to get some a long time back lol
This is what I did at 1am, so technically it's a soapy thing for a new day lol. I need more practice on placement and pressure..
Also, I received some oxides I ordered for the Christmas soaps I'm planning. Need to get those done before this month ends to give em at least 2mos before the people here start their Christmas shopping. I'm gonna go do more research on oxides now...

Those look like the perfect shade of red for Valentine’s Day. Kind of dark like the color of roses? Never tried salt in soap but it’s on the list for me.

They remind me of red velvet cupcakes @TashaBird 
Ladies and gentlemen, my pumpkin poops now have a name!Wait...so...they're....
POOP O LANTERNS???
I'll let myself out
Today I made a multi method soap. HP base, CP piping, and both HP and MP embeds. Had a piping blow out aka the frosting was a tad too loose and it started to run out before I wanted it to, in my haste to catch it I jerk and the frosting ran right down between my skin and the gap of my glove. I had to set the bag down somewhere it wouldnt keep running, rip that glove off and head to the sink.
I suck at taking loaf pics but here it is. anyone know how long a layer of piping needs to dry before I can cut it?
The base is Marshmallow fireside fo - dark brown with white jojoba beads stirred in (hoping they melt into a marshmallow swirl) The piping is creamy nutmeg fo, as are the pumpkins. then unscented mp leaves. glitter and a sprinkle of jojoba beads.
