HOW THE SOAP TURNED OUT
Below are pictures of my latest soap. As you can see it turned out great. The peppermint did not set up like I wanted so I grated and redid it. It still turned out great. They all smell wonderful. I really feel the orris root helps hold the smell. The second bonus about the orris root is I don't feel you need to use as much scent. Enjoy the pictures and have a great night. From our farm to you Rebekah.

Congratulations on a great batch of soap! I really need to get busy myself and make a batch or two....Are you making for you family or are you getting ready to sell at a show or festal?
ReplyDeleteThanks Tonja and once you learn you will love it.
ReplyDeleteYes Melodie I'm getting ready for farmers market this summer. Since it takes 6 weeks to cure I'm trying to get enough done to last for the summer. The market starts in May and runs till the end of October. Last year I did 6 markets so got to make sure I have enough. We also use it I don't buy any soap. We use it for shampoo, laundry soap, hand soap, face soap and body soap you get the picture. It is a big savings and I love doing it.
looks fantastic! Great job! Very creative.
ReplyDeleteI love the flavors or I mean the scents - you are good on deciding which ones. Where do you make your soap in the winter? I was wanting to make soap -just don't want it to smell up the house!

Vickie, If you get your milk or water so cold it is slushy it won't smell as much. I do make mine right in the house and it is never smelly. The ice thing keeps tempratures low so you can make it faster. Hope this helps. For scents I have done alot of research into what other soapmakers have done. Rebekah
ReplyDeleteI like the way homemade bar soap leaves my house smelling but I don't care for the way my homemade laundry detergent leaves a strong soap odor in the kitchen for several days. Though it does make the basement (laundry area) smell fresh! :)
