Beautiful. Great colors for your scent.

Beautiful soap.

okay the new name is Psychedelic Sandman (thanks Heather!) its a mix of Anise, chamomile neroli EO blend, cedarwood, and 5 fold orange. so technically its 5 fragrances. the anise I was worried would come out to strong, but it is mellowing nicely.

The new name goes great the the colors. Beautiful soap.

I think I have a case of swirling envy.

Beautiful bars of soap.

Great-looking swirls. Nice color combination.

At first I thought it was a baked cake. Your soap sure looks delicious.

Beautiful swirls. I love citrus scents.

Delicious-looking soap.

I've heard of the new Crisco being used for soaping. Quietgirl's recipe has Crisco in it and the new Crisco still makes a nice bar of soap. The new Crisco is mentioned in the last two pages, if I remember correctly.

Edit to add:

Hi Jacqui,

I just saw that you already have the information. Hope you have fun soaping.

I like a 20% superfatted, 100% coconut oil soap.

Darwin's recipe has 5 oils, but I do like it. It has CO, PKO, castor, grapeseed oil (sometimes I'll sub a different oil like olive oile) and shea

I think that starrville.com has tallow. Unfortunately their eshop is experiencing some difficulties. However, their phone number is listed on their site.

Beautiful soaps.

I have used EVOO in soapmaking. It works as well as ordinary OO. However, in my experience, it does leave a green tint to the soap.

I've used EVOO that's a couple years old for food and it's still okay. (I don't know if I should admit that here. :embarasse) The oil is stored in a cool, temperature stable enviroment, away from sunlight - a cabinet in a bedroom.

Great looking soaps. I really like the surf's up one.

I've forgotten the fragrance oil a time of two myself. The soap looks great.

Now I have a ? about the jars, where in the heck can I find Jars that look like the Hurricane ones?

They look like the jars from Bitter Creek Candle Supply
