Ok, here we go! I have measured out all the oils and the hard oils are all melted. See the pen in the picture? I like to check off the oils I add to makes sure I don't miss one!
In this picture, I have just added the lye to the oils. They are the same temperature right now.
Here I have added the color. I diluted the color and used a dropper to add the color. Don't ask me about my "mustard" colored soap I made the other day!
The color is all blended now and it's coming to a nice trace. Right after I took this picture, I added the poppy seeds. They came from my very own
garden. Here I have just poured the soap, textured the top a bit, and sprinkled some more poppy seeds on top. The piece of cardboard that you see to the right of the mold goes on top. I then take several blankets and cover the whole thing up for 24 hours.
Here it is! All cut and ready to go...well...not yet...it has to cure for about 3 to 4 weeks!

Poppy seeds! I'll bet they give the soap excellent exfoliant properties. Plus, they make the soap very eye catching.
