This is the soap that I made Sunday evening using the sample of Crisp Cotton fragrance from Brambleberry. I did an in-mold swirl and used three colors: natural indigo, titanium dioxide, and aquamarine blue oxide. The soap "mold" I used is a silicone bread pan.
There isn't any goat milk in this batch as I don't have any to spare at the moment (Constellation is getting it all). I changed my recipe to use more affordable, more readily available ingredients (and to get away from palm oil). As I generally get massive brain-fog during kidding season, I wanted to test my new recipe well in advance. Things went well. The soap is very soft right now; it will be interesting to see how it does as it cures. Kidding season for me starts in June this year and runs through July. This is so I don't go into brain-fog phase during the homeschool year. I should be making soap like a squirrel storing nuts starting about mid-July through the end of 2015.

Out of the mold, ready to be sliced.
The bars need to cure for six weeks. If you are one of my egg customers, expect a bar of crisp cotton with your egg delivery on May 5. Shoot, if I had planned this better, I would have created some sort of salsa bar for Cinco de Mayo!
