Took the day off so I can name and label these babies. View attachment 46609

when I first looked at the brown/yellow soap, the name 'Mountain Sunset' came to me. They are all beautiful!

That's a fantastic name!! That is the only one I didn't name, lol.

Well, I'm honored if you decide to call it that! It's a beautiful soap!

I got some butters today and some melt and pour so I made 2 inlays and a round loaf.

I tried my hand at shrink wrapping today. Just one bar of MP soap. I have some friends who were interested in my recent batch and I HATE wrapping in cling wrap/saranwrap. It went...eh. Mostly ok but I couldn't get the final seam right and then the soap started melting a bit. :/ Another learning curve to get over.

I tried my first go at what I hope will be a good base recipe in time. Because it is vegan/palm free the butter amounts were higher than I’ve worked with before but I managed it without too much acceleration—I’m trying to lay off the stick blender but it’s hard. Also trying to CPOP for the first time...

I made some soap! Ambre Lumiere FO. Yum! I kinda made up the pour but it should be akin to an in the pot swirl.View attachment 46601

I can't wait to see the cut product. It looks so pretty in the mold. It feels like a log of peanut butter and chocolate that I want to eat, lol.

I shrink wrap all of my soap. What size did you use? Mine are 4×6 and I always need to cut at least an inch off the top. I then save those 1 inch rounds to shrink wrap my 1oz. sample butters and balms. When I shrink wrap my soap I start from the bottom then move up the sides, heat the front and back sides just enough to show me how my top edge will be then if needed, cut a little more off. Im usually precise with the first cut so I usually don't need to cut more but once I go up the sides I fold the top edge in like im wrapping a present so I get that clean fold. It makes it smooth and very easy for a customer to open without having to use scissors.

Yay! My stamp finally got here. I didnt have any newer soap to stamp but i stamped one of my bars thats cured over 3 weeks and it still worked really well. She even sent an extra stamp with a bird on it.

Well, I made a soap at the request of my husband and it’s pretty cute. He’s a huge nerd and loves comics. My first experience with using m&p as an imbed. I learned a good lesson about the mold for imbed being too thin. Any suggestions about where I might find some deeper molds for this application?
