I love the flower ones !! Well done. Most people struggle with lye for a long time before they get it sorted. You're a natural
Well if nothing else we will all have clean hands that smell good after eating (and before!) if i bring some lol
Got the backordered mold in the mail today-so now i have 2 of the flower molds! Yay! Still waiting on the other sheep mold. It reminds me of the sleep country sheep, or the one in the animated movie...lol.

I like that purple colour. I'd never use the sheep soap, too cute to use up.

Hmmm, would be really nice to make the sheep out of sheep milk...

Very cool, can't wait for the animated soap movie (opera) ;)
OK I admit it, thought it was a turkey. :)

Man those are awesome Kathy! Very nice!

What does sheep milk taste like? Is it like goat milk or more like cow milk?

Alright folks, i need some help (probably in more ways than 1) LOL. i want to find chicken molds and turkey molds that are 3D, not flat ones...but like the sheep.....i looked (briefly) and didn't find any YET.

AND if anyone near me has a couple of cups of sheep or goat milk they'd be willing to let me try....i didn't see any in my local grocery store...apparently cow's milk is too high in casein and it messes with the saponification...but i'll try and find a recipe that might work.

It doesn't taste anything like goat milk which when we were selling sheep cheese was a plus! It's higher in components, so it's very sweet and creamy. Not really a "drinking" milk but excellent in coffee and on fresh fruit. That's also why it makes nice soap and cheese too.
I wish I had some at the moment, I'd send you some WLady to try!
