Teach Soap

Thank you. It looks so natural . I have some red oxide and Charcoal so now if I can get a free min weekend after next I might just try my hand at it. You have inspired me to another pretty soap. Thank you.

Here is my batch of soap scented with BB's Berrywine. I love how it turned out and my vertical mold!

Berrywine colored with TD, burgundy, and ultramarine violet. It smells terrible OOB but nice once cured.

Thanks, guys!
Your welcome, Jeannine. You'll love the vertical mold. While you can always make a plain batch of soap in it, there are fun things to try too.

Vanilla Café Latte Goat's Milk Soap.

Can't wait until my 5# mold arrives next week. These 3# batches are killing me time wise lol. Debated on going right into at 10# mold but didn't think that was wise just yet

Thanks Linda and Irena
I'm hoping to make soap so appealing that everyone wants to eat it! Staying away from those cupcakes though....ok for the time being anyway
I got the idea from here but reworked the recipe. http://teachsoap.com/2012/12/11/cafe-latte-soap/
I should have froze the coffee too. It was cool but took forever to work the lye into it keeping the temp down even with the goat milk being frozen. I try to not let it rise above 70 degrees with goat's milk. Maybe could have gone higher but I'm super cautious with it.

Whoa those colors are seriously wonderful together jeannine! So tribal I love them.

I've been doing a load of colors lately so decided it was time to try my first B&W.





My next will be a beer soap!

I made some Ylang Ginger. Love this FO.


Don't know what to name this one. I used Lemongrass FO and it didn't seem strong enough so I added some Cotton tree and I love the smell of these 2 mixed. Lemon Cotton? Lemon Tree? Lemon surprise?


I was trying to get a good aqua blue color so I mixed and poured this and then added a few more colors I had mixed up. Used Eygptiian Musk FO


Also made the peachy colored one using Peach Nectar from CS and if it is a sticker I will be ordering a large bottle. OMG it smells just like fresh peaches

This next one I am going to have to give away. I tried some Pink Magnolia from CS and it accelerated and stinks to me. I cant stand the smell. Needless to say the look I was trying for didn't happen
