Nothing fancy she says. Extremely simple she says. It's beautiful! And fancy! And not extremely simple!

I'm glad you like it!

You are too kind!

I cut the soap today, and it does indeed look MUCH better than I was afraid it would. I left the soda ash on top because it looks like falling snow on a gray winter day. (Here in western Montana we have no snow with none in the forecast before Christmas.) I went ahead and cut some sample size bars for the nurse's gift basket.

One week into cure, the green indigo has faded significantly. I'm glad I added some activated charcoal and pink clay to the indigo colors so there will still be a little swirl when the green is completely gone.

The faded bar is the same one on the left in the original picture.

It's still very pretty though!

Thank you. It'll be fine, but it looks like using indigo as a colorant is pointless for me. I might as well skip the infused oil step.

Made these little cuties today for a friend…. Melt and pour with embed paper. Scented with NS Apple.

Making another dozen of these for a special order for a friend. Love those last minute gift requests!

Part of my lineup for gift giving this year includes a set of simple beer soaps made using craft beers that were leftover from my retirement party in late October. The green one is my favorite. I had no choice but to call it ‘tis the Saison because it’s made with a Belgian-style saison ale and scented with a @Zing EO blend that is perfect for the holiday season.

Very pretty. Is it an "in the pot" swirl ?

@Elise Yes, I layered most of the white with the green in a pouring jug and did a quick stir/pass with a spatula before I poured. The last of the white went on the top.

Well, that isn't a promising start to my new season. I'm in the middle of making my first batch of salt soap for the year. However, I'm out of coconut oil and I'm out of rosemary EO, two of the main ingredients. Not a good start. I could have sworn I had another gallon of coconut oil. It might be time to do a quick inventory... and a trip to our local health food store.
