New Soap Cutter DONE!

So this is our 2nd attempt at making a soap cutter and it works beautifully!! So fun to cut soap now!! The wooden box I bought from Jo Anne's Craft's and then cut a inch slit through it. Then used some craft wood to secure the sides where the cut was made. The metal thinging was given to us a while back as some sort of chopping/scooping kitchen tool we never used and it fits perfectly. So far things are successful on the 2nd try... and we're good with that.

Also this is our newest product shot of the Wine-O soap made with grapes. Pretty color... and the 2nd try will only be better!

Nothing to Wine about...

the melt-down worked great on the wine soap:) It's purple in spots and brown in others but at least it's an overall color like we wanted! The brown color came in because we left too much juice in the grapes when we dehydrated them so next batch will be perfect. Who knew grape juice was actually brown not purple. LOL:)

Wine Soap Melt-Down

So after a week of being gone on vacation we came home to find most of the soap cured fully and was much harder. The only problem soap was the wine soap with the grapes. I really want it to be somewhat purple ultimately but it's just got these oozy clumps in it right now. It looks cool but it's messy so I'm re-melting it to see if I can perfect it. I'm just using one of the molds for the first attempt... grating it and melting it and then re-pouring it in a mold like I did when I made the hand milled soap the first time from the castile soap bar I bought.

Wine Soap Status...

Wine soap looks good, but I think I'm going to have to get creative with the process to get a purple base color to go along with those small bursts of grapes. It's a work in progress but almost there.

No Green Soap 4 Us...

Were only seeing PURPLE today while working on the Wine-Oh soap. It's made with olive, coconut & castor oils. Plus dried grapes for a fabulous purple color... I hope!

Also, our molds are sticking to the soap too much so I'm trying a more flexible plastic mold that is also smaller today so I'm hoping that works too.
WISH US LUCK!!
