Teach Soap

Beautiful soaps, Toni and Nada! You guys have been busy.

Linda, your soaps look great. The discoloration makes Queen of Denial look more Fall like. Is it NG's Queen of the Nile? I so want to try that one. Great job!

This post should be titled something like "Oops!" or "What was I thinking???"

This soap is my Outmeal Stout, which did come out alright. It was supposed to look like A-M's black and tan.


This sounded like a good idea but didn't work out. It's called Almond Fig Tart, with the tart part being my Buttercream & Snickerdoodle free sample. It was supposed to be a Celine swirl but it set up too fast.


My coffee soap, scented with Turkish Mocha (yum!), just doesn't want to harden enough. It's a bastille though so I'm giving it extra time. It was supposed to look like a latte. It's made with coffee from a local roaster that was a fellow farmers market vendor.


This was my first Christmas soap, scented with Fresh Snow and a smidge of peppermint eo. I can't begin to figure out why I added black to it! Made again without black or green just 2 shades of blue and white. Smells great but both my husband and I love Fresh Snow!

Linda, I think your soaps look terrific! I like the black in the Fresh Snow, but I bet it looks just as nice without it! I like the colors in the Almond Fig. I haven't tried the Turkish Mocha, but I may need to since it keeps getting rave reviews.

I think a lot of my swirls I won't be able to recreate; every batch is different, but that's not a bad thing.

Here's the mold I'm making. Actually, I did it a week ago, but unlike everyone else's, mine is taking forever to dry. Eventually, if it turns out, it will be a 3D duck.

Well I'm having issues trying to post pics, but here we go again! I might have to do one at a time. This is my first soap.

Love all your soaps Linda!!! Love yours too Sudsmom!!

Thanks all! It's so much fun to make soap but especially nice when other soapers say nice things about it.
