I weighed my soap today. And I decided to start testing my soaps so next batch I will make a few extra bars to give away. I hope to sell some soaps by Christmas.
What soapy thing have you done today?

Thank you so much!! I did a tiger stripe pouring down the side of the mold. I filmed the process, but the video is awful and Soapish did a much better job explaining it so here's her video which includes the exact technique I used (plus a hanger swirl). The pour starts around 6:30.OH MY GOSH THAT IS GORGEOUS!!!!! Did you write anywhere how you did this pour? It is so pretty!
I ordered some of those fancy long-spouted plastic pouring cups. As soon as they arrive, I shall instantly be a multi-colour expert.
I also used the new slab mould that my son and father built for me last week. BOY it takes a lot of batter to fill up a slab mould, especially if you're used to making "loaves" in 1L milk cartons...

Gorgeous! What's the scent?
Hope you’re having a better day today!
I rebatched all my Daphne and Ylang Ylang soap ( the one that lost all its decent within 5 weeks of making) by making a confetti soap with it. This time I used a Daphne scent from a different supplier and instead of Ylang EO, I used an Ylang FO. The scent is much stronger and I'm hoping for a successful, stronger scented batch now.

I know - the original was rather spectacular looking. But this will be nice in its own right - i have a three way colour thing going on with this one. It should mimic the actual daphne flower in appearance...

@KiwiMoose rebatched a very cool soap because the scent faded. She promises another beautiful soap and I know she will deliver

Just soap planning today
Great job! Reminds me of the 1950s and looks good enough to eat
That turned out AMAZING!
I bought new fragrances including my first 16 ounce bottle of fragrance for laundry soap, Husband wants it in bulk. I also bought a new Stainless Steel work Table. Should be here on the 18th

What fragrances did you get?
Today I cut my next attempt at a wall pour, hoping to have liquid enough batter to follow thru till the end. I am happy to say it came out SPLENDID! I went simple on colors to eliminate having to switch between too many containers--black and white. AND I tried my hand at mixing scents. I did .8 oz of orange 10x EO, .5 of rosemary EO and .7 of lavender 40/42 EO. OH MY GOSH!! That is the most amazing scent ever!! I am so pleased. I almost stalled out, though, when I remembered that the orange will discolor...I did go ahead with the pour. Even though it is OFF white and OFF black, I am very happy with how it turned out.
