What soapy thing have you done today?

[AliOop]

And even though I heated to clear and allowed it to cool down to 100, I've got stearic spots

Try heating to 165ºF before cooling. That was the advice I was given here on SMF, and it works for me.

Thanks!
I'll do that next time for sure!

I made soap today!

Backstory: I'm living in Minneapolis for part of the year, miles away from my soapy stash. But due to the generous provision of @dibbles, along with several basic purchases, I've accumulated enough things to make a few batches. This one is scented with WSP's Sea Salt & Driftwood. Very nice!

That is sooo pretty!!

We have all missed the beautiful creations from you, @The_Emerald_Chicken. I (and probably others) most selfishly appreciate @dibbles' assistance to get you soaping again!

I cut my goats milk men's soap made with my reformulated recipe.
The lighting isn't great as I cure my soap skin the darkest room in the house, but I think my AC pencil line turned out good.

What kind of swirl is that? And how do I copy it? That's beautiful! Lately, I keep seeing different swirls that I love but have no idea the name of them so I can look up the how-to's.

The swirl you see is only on the surface. I drizzled uncolored and blue soap batter and swirled with a glass dowel rod. Inside is a hanger swirl.
