Did you add Titanium dioxide? It could be unmixed TD. It is best to make a slurry with TD and add it to the oils and Stick blend it well.

She's soaping at room temperature. If you did the same the bumps might be caused by the coconut oil mixing in unevenly. Did you melt your coconut oil until it was clear? I usually soap at 110*F (all ingredients at 110*F) which makes the soap clear and bump and swirl free.

If you are using a wire cutter you might get some small bumps even if you soap warm.

If none of these are the cause what other ingredients did you add? And what was your process?

BTW do not ever store or mix lye solution in a glass jar. Use an old liquid laundry detergent jug that has a 5 in the triangle on the bottom.
Also don't cure your soap on metal racks - this causes DOS.

By chance did the batter get small lumps when you added the scent? I wonder if it might be ricing.
I think it looks neat, kinda like home made paper.
