Soap Makers Help!

Several companies make a lavender vanilla scent if you want.

MLF, do your logs sell good? I was thinking a while back of maybe taking one or two to the market this year just to see how it goes.

I haven't even tried one at the market. I got my vertical log molds so I could make 2-13# special order. I've sold enough logs that the profit paid for the log molds, but not too much more than that.

I hear a lot of positive things from soapers that will bring logs to market and sell by the slice. I'm too busy talking and spinning (and I'm a terrible cutter) to do logs at market!

I made 3 batches of Black Raspberry Cream last night. Each batch I did a little differently. I'm not sure which one I like the best. I used alkanate root powder and french red clay.

CW- I also made some Grandma's Kitchen

I didn't have enough ground oatmeal though so I didn't add it, but this time it's not nearly as dark, I wonder if it was because I didn't have any vanilla in the milk this time.

Yum! They all are beautiful, but I think the first one is the best.

Thank you, that's the one hubby liked the best too.

Does anyone have any experiance making soap at a renaissance festival? I have two oppurtunities to be both a vendor and do demo's of soap making at two renaissance festivals, but I'm not quite sure of the particulars yet. Any advice?

Wow! All of them are lovely, Morgaine!!!

What makes the darker dots in the purple part?

I just put three batches of soap to bed. 2 Yuzu Grapefruits and one Wasabi. For the Grapefruit I tilted the mold onto it's side and colored with turmeric, which I may have used too much of because the color was much darker than I thought it would be. The top I left plain and added calendual petals. The wasabi I layered a plain white between two green layers. I'll post pictures in the morning.

The darker spots are chunks of alkanate root. It's powdery but not super finely ground.
