Talking Frothy (not fluffy) mail

So excited, my order from Aussie Soap Supplies arrived today. Can't wait to start playing with all of new toys .

I got 2 moulds, some oil blends, alkanet & madder (dyes), some shredded loofah & some cocoa butter. I already have a few basic oils & the caustic soda from my previous (fairly plain) batches, so now I'm going to make some really nice ones .

Ooh let me know how you go with the alkaneet and madder. I haven't tried them as a colourant yet. The paprika and chlorophyll give really good colour.

Are you doing M&P? If so make sure the soap is thickening a bit before pouring into the moulds so you get a nice even distribution of the loofah

Have fun!

Oh that sounds like great fun!! Make sure you post pics of your creations
I'm so NOT trying soap making... too many crafty things I want to do already, and not enough hours in the day.

Yeah we probably could but to not confuse the kids we just don't use any soap bars at all....other wise when you go out they think it is ok to use the soap if it looks like the one at home etc etc so we just don't have it at all now
