Sunday Soap

 Taking advantage of the day off yesterday I started another soap making adventure. I paid a lot of money for this bottle of aloe juice and I've got to use it up within 30 days so the production line is in business once again.

 I'm making big loaves to use it up faster.

 When you substitute the water for the aloe you get a rather strange bar of soap but since so many soapers raved about it I'm willing to give it a try.

 I am also using my new micas and loving them especially the white. If you have ever used titanium dioxide for anything you know how horrible it is. It makes a huge mess and is almost impossible to clean up. This new Snow White mica performs just like the nasty stuff but dissolves just like a mica so clean up is a breeze.

Here is that big blue soap I made last week which was the first of the aloe soaps. This is the one that had to have its top lopped off because I tried to pile on too much batter and it all collapsed instead of standing up in stiff peaks.

None of the aloe soaps are holding nice peaks for some reason but I cut down the recipe to make it more manageable in the mold. Once it's in the tub no one will know the difference, right?
