Soap Makers Help!

Ohh, that's pretty! So natural looking! I like that a lot What is the scent?

here is my witches brew. I used 210 grams of yellow dock infused olive oil. It's a gorgeous maroon color.

Here is the badedas colored with yellow kaolin clay and liquid chlorophyll The clay is WAY darker than what I was going for, a little goes a very long way.

Both of you have great looking soaps! I don't think I could pick one over the other.
The FM went a lo better yesterday. I broke the $100 mark for the first time since the very beggining. And I'm going to try to get a good picture of my banner tomorrow so I can show all of you.

Beautiful!! I love them...I'm thinking about ordering some clay. Who do you order from? Some of my oxides are not working right....frustrating. This lavender batch took some time perfecting the lavender middle layer...I did not want BRIGHT purple...I was shooting for a more natural color and since you described it as natural...I must have done it. Hang on...I'm uploading Cucumber and coffee citrus.

Whoo, glad to eat that you did well! Cant wait to see the new banner.

Cheep trick, Most of my clays I get from the health food store, but the yellow one I got from Texas Natural Supply. They have a lot of choices.

How do you like woking with micas? I've only used some gold I got from BB. It's ok, not as much sparkle as I would have liked and I feel like I have to use a lot to get color.

Ignore the back bar...I hate it!! In case you are wondering though it is rebatched chunks of POTTED meat and eucalyptus mint rebatched and mixed with BB's Energy, SCakes Peach and Grapefruit...smells great...hate the look.

Cucumber with liquid chlorophyll

Citrus Coffee Pumice my current fav

The soap stamp is the Japanese Kanchii Symbol for either good luck or long life...cannot remember and NOT sure it is upside down

dusted with Pearlescent Powder.

I'll check out my store...not much online!! I do want some SEA Clay or French Clay...for a nice shaving bar.


I love them BOTH...I think I'll try your tilted soap bar technique out!!

Very nice and natural looking! how scratchy do you find the coffee grounds to be? your cucumber bars turned out much nicer than my last batch. My liquid chlorophyll smelled yucky so I didn't use it and hoped the green form the pureed cuks would give it color but it didn't. I now have 50 bars that I'm not sure I want to sell. I might rebatch them and add some color.

And what is the one in the back ground? It looks fine from here.

Texas natural supply has some dead sea mud that I also got but haven't tried yet. I know they have green too.

Bramble Berry Energy, Sweet Cakes Peach and Grapefruit fo's blended with regular plain goatsmilk soap...the chunks are the rebatched and WHIPPED Rosewood (potted meat soap) and Whipped Eucalyptus Mint colored with liquid chlorophyll...I just hate the pink rosewood chunks. Cannot get Processed Meat out of my head!
