Nothing fancy she says. Extremely simple she says. It's beautiful! And fancy! And not extremely simple!@justsomeguy , I posted the Jasmine soap here: https://www.soapmakingforum.com/threads/mrszs-soaps.94259/post-1023474
I'm glad you like it!Nothing fancy she says. Extremely simple she says. It's beautiful! And fancy! And not extremely simple!
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.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.
It's still very pretty though!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.
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.It's still very pretty though!
Making another dozen of these for a special order for a friend. Love those last minute gift requests!Made these little cuties today for a friend…. Melt and pour with embed paper. Scented with NS Apple.

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

Do you use the same lame inventory guy that I use?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.
Update: I ended up having enough coconut oil to make my batch. We drove to the health food store to pick up a small bottle of rosemary EO. Salt soap is now in the molds so all's well that ends well.
Quite possibly. I might just have to fire her. Oh wait, you have a guy in charge of your inventory?Do you use the same lame inventory guy that I use?

I'm constantly threatening to fire my inventory guy. He is notorious for not keeping the shelves stocked. I go to make soap and have nearly empty bottles of lye, no shea butter, charcoal, etc. Then I have to go to the store and/or re-work my color and scent plan. But you know, it's Christmastime now and who fires staff at this time of year? So he's safe for now.Quite possibly. I might just have to fire her. Oh wait, you have a guy in charge of your inventory?
Tell him to get his act together or he's out on his ear.I think he moonlights in Oz as well.I'm constantly threatening to fire my inventory guy. He is notorious for not keeping the shelves stocked.
