On another goat milk run!

Another Sunday got to go get fresh goat milk from my goat man and his spoiled goats! This time we pick up 2 and half gallons. One gallon to drink and the other for soap making.
Before I left I checked our supply and noted 2 gallons for soap and one and a half for soap or lotion making. That does not include the eight gallons in my freezers. I have milk coming out my ears.  Anyways I'm so bless to have met the wonderful man and his goats. Now I can make goat milk soaps, creams and lotions without worrying about running out.

Testing fragrances and playing around

This started as a gradient soap but I want to try my hand at adding a design within the soap so I add a tiger stripe of black and pink.  I really like how it turned out and so do my kids they think its neat.  I most definitely will be doing the style again. It makes the soap pop!  I was using  WSP margarita lime fragrance.  Its was very strong when I poured but after a week the scent has faded. So anyways here it is.

Soap challenge #4

Hey y'all I'm doing another soap challenge from Greatcakes Soapworks Amy Warden.

This time it's a multicolored gradient soap challenge that I'm doing. Unfortunately my soap don't look like its multi color but it was when poured it and I think the fragrance reacted with the color and so it looks like it only has two colors. Anyways I used the colors bright pink mica a bright orange mica and yellow mica which was a pop mica from TKB TRADING. The fragrace I used was Island Nectar from WSP. This is a BBW dupe and smelld lovely.

Blue Sugar Cane

I really like this scent. It reminds me of a fragrace I used to buy from  Sears called Get Sexy but of course they don't make any more.  So glad Natures garden has this fragrance.
I used neon blue mica and pop mica form TKB trading. As you can see it does discolor to tan because of the vanilla content.  I should have used titanium dioxide to whiten the uncolored parts.  Overall I really like this scent and will be using this in body scrubs and lotions.

Sharing Soap

Everyone's favorite Black Rasberry Vanilla. This one is from Natures Garden.
I used the purple pop mica and charcoal both of these were from TKB trading. This is made with goats milk.

Just another soap I was playing with.  Wanted to make some fresh vegetable soap. This soap I use fresh cucumber and fresh avocado I also put in some avocado oil this one is not scented.

Hawaiian Lei Flower

Making this for one of my co-workers. She love the floral fragrances.  Something I do not care for but I had received the scent from southerngarden scents and it was the one scent she liked out the order. I made this soap to reflecy the clores of her bathroom which is teal and brown. I did the foe funnel swirl using one pound batch of bastille soap recipe.
