I KNEW it! It's the Starship Enterprise! And neons! And glow in the dark, too! And oh mylanta, that's a lot of soap for a first batch after a two year long hiatus! That is a seriously awesome comeback.

I made 6 loaves of soap. Shea/mango/PKO/castor oils. Each with a different fragrance. Infused castor oil used for all color. 20! plastic containers used. 1 big masterbatch of Shea/mango/PKO created plus 2 extra ounces of oil.

From left to right:
1. Chocolate (CC) - combined purple [Alkanet root] and red [Himalayan rhubarb] to get brown🤞🏿 that's looking more like baby poop🤣

2. Tobacco and Bay leaf (BB)- in the pot swirl of red and orange [tumeric infused oil]. Both were very very light🤦🏿‍♂️

3. Neroli (WSP)- nothing special - tumeric infused oil
4. Bay rum (CC) - plain😁
5. Mango Mango (BB)- nothing special - tumeric infused oil

6. Hip Hippy (hipster (WSP) - one pot wonder swirl with orange(1/4), plain (1/2), and purple (1/4) oils

i put them in a cold oven thinking that the heat they give off could force gel 🤞🏿

Took about 2 hours to do. 2 days to plan. 1 day to recheck everything. Spilled some of the white in the one pot wonder😳

It's gonna be a long 24 hour wait to cut them😬. I'll share the cut pictures.

Off to get some M&M's😁

Edit: because my typist continues to hate me🤣

I can't imagine making that much soap in one day. You're amazing! I made my first attempt at challenge soap today. Two pounds of it. Took me a week of planning and two hours to assemble it. I'm hot and sweaty and wiped out. It almost did me in! I'll join you in some M&M's as soon as I have my soapy/oily/lye dishes washed. Can't wait to see what it looks like when I cut it tomorrow. I think it'll be full of air bubbles and be uneven. If it's ugly, I'll give it to my daughter and she can felt over it.😀
 
I couldn't wait😁

Got the electrical connected to my shed that I'm renovating for all my crafty bits. 2 ceiling LED didn't come on, so I'll troubleshoot that. But, MY AC WORKED! And in Louisiana it's still freaking hot so that's a must have. Next is finish water line trench and get that connected. Maybe it won't be unbearably hot trying to finish my ceiling now
 
I received my NG FOs the other day. Ordered smaller bottles this time in case they don't soap very well. I have several FOs from previous orders that are half full and in my opinion are unusable. Like an idiot I took a whiff of each bottle (15 in total) followed by a whiff of coffee grounds. Got a headache from Hades a few hours later. That will teach me.
