What soapy thing have you done today?

[Zing]

I made 3 batches of soap- a rebatch of an ugly green pine scented soap into some (much cuter) green and white confetti bars, some salt bars and some lemon scented hand soaps- some with exfoliant some without. I should have used ground lemon peel, but I used coffee grounds. It's an interesting texture but darkened those bars more than I thought.

There's no way we can judge cuteness without photo proof!!

Yep, pics or they don't exist.

There is not one bar of this soap that I do not LOVE! this is my new favorite pull-through plate! Each bar is perfect front and back! Top to bottom. Sometimes I worry because I begin with pouring through a funnel and then halfway switch to free pouring. And I can tell where I switched. Not this batch though. I need to invest in squeeze bottles, but they have never been a pleasant experience for me. NG Honeysuckle FO behaved perfectly! As biased as I am, I’m really pleases with the soap!

The central section, where the pattern isn't perfectly symmetric, but a bit spiralling, has some nautilus-y vibes to it!

The old green bar is behind the new one, salt bar in the back

New snowflake mold works great. I needed a new one cause I hardly have any molds...

Found it thank you. The results are lovely. SO it sounds like you do the same as me, use a funnel for the first half of the pour, then switch to centre pour free hand nearer the top?

Yep! My funnel spout is a little longer than normal, I think! Plus, I like to see how the pouring is going! I just can't stand the extra work to use the squeeze bottles and anytime I do the batter seems to thicken quicker. But that was before I became more comfortable with my recipe and soaping room temp.

In my head I heard the bad "F-ing" word, that's how my brain translated.... I didn't go for an official translation!

My mum never said the f word in her life but she often accused us kids of faffing around when we we going too slow or not being productive. I always thought it was British?

I like it and am going to start using it!

I also cut this one from the same batch. Thought I might call it ‘That 70s Soap’

N.B. Spot the difference in colour between the gelled (wavy soap) and the non-gelled (round soap). Bother were poured from the same jugs of colours.

Beautifull!
