The Soap Came Out Beautifully!

I think they turned out great! The Lemongrass is divine and the Black Tea adds a touch of a "earthy" scent.

A Few Cold Process Soaps I've Been Making

Blackberry Sage - I love how the swirls came out and the lahter...omg...the lather is so pure and white and plenty!! I added some black mica to the purple hoping do get a dark purple. It's not as dark as I had planned, but I love how it turned out!
Red Clover, Ginger, and Wisteria. I love these swirls too! My house smelled so good for weeks!
I'm not sure what to name it...any ideas?
Green Tea and Lemon. This batch was rebatched and I added more lemon EO to the batch. Reminds me of a glass of sweet tea!

Whew! I Just Finished Another Batch Of Cold Process Soap!

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
garde
n. 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!
