Ravens Haven, what are you using for colorant? Those look great. I never tried coloring my goat milk soaps, but I would sure love to!

Wow, Raven's Haven, you really are an artist! That soap is gorgeous! Did you use bubblewrap to get the honeycomb appearance on the Honey Bee soap?

Does anyone have a recipe for goat soap ???? :)
Just use frozen goat milk to replace your liquid, or use a 50% by using half the liquid for your lye and putting in the other half as GM at trace.
I soap lower temps and don't insulate so it doesn't heat up and burn the milk. :p

Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Thank you all for your kind words. I love to make soap and I love to play with colors. We use micas and we also use beet root powder and things like that. Yes I use bubblewrap for the honeybee soaps.
