Beezy, you do like bright colors! Great job on all of the soaps. So glad you are having fun!

ITP is my swirl of choice! I mix at around 110*F and do the ITP swirl with emulsified or very light trace batter!

You are inspiring to this WA State newbie - nice work! But I have to admit, I'm a little jealous as I'm still waiting for my supplies to come (from the EAST COAST....I'll never do that again). The Boyfriend made me two molds and a miter box for cutting - and has been gloating that he is "ahead of me" in this endeavor ever since.

I had not planned on doing any color work when I decided to do this, but within days of looking at soap porn, I realized coloring and swirling are not far behind. What was I thinking?

These look great! I remember seeing you post these photos on NG's show and tell this past week because it's so rare to see a guy posting soap pics!

How did you like the Honey I Washed The Kids (is it Honey Vanilla Love Dust or something like that?) after cutting? I have it on my wish list because I looove LUSH stuff so much. Did you get any discoloration since cutting?

This is good news indeed! I think I read somewhere that it was the other FO I mentioned, which says it discolors brown, and that made me sad. I will switch them out on my wishlist. Looks like no vanilla in Honey Bunny and no discoloration noted in reviews woohoo!

Sounds like you've definitely done your CP research! Glad your first batches went so well!

Beezy:

For my next order, I am going to try Essential Wholesale, located in Oregon. Imagine, overnight shipping if you get your order in early in the morning! They are not soap dedicated, but have a full range of natural cosmetic supplies. Essential oils, but no fragrance oils:

I'll stick with BB's FO's. Theirs are fresh, don't sit on their shelves for long and have been tested in soap.
