I dont know how to add pictures (ok I do, but I can't make them small enough) so I am giving my facebook album link. They are not perfect, but for first attempts, I am pretty dang impressed! My house smells to DIE for! I am very very lucky that BB can get my order here next day... cause I am OUT of oils!
I know its not good to use right away but I tried an end cut to see what a bar would do. My all white bar is made with cocoa butter (not fully, but recipe is in the other room) and a LOT of kaolin clay. I was putting it in, and my son knocked my arm... so instead of 2t, the loaf got more along the lines of... a CUP! The bar hardened REALLY really fast, like a brick in less than 2 hours... that worried me and got a slight crack. No volcano though! But the lather on that bar... WOW! I was expecting it to be sludge in water with all the clay. Its a bar I would keep for myself its so amazing. I was asked to make scent free, color free...and they were ok with the slight scent of cocoa butter (used about 2.1 ounces in the recipe)
Sadly had a few air pockets .. boo. But... overall really happy. The dragons blood is now fully black and went through the gel process because the center area, is now gone and fully solid!
