Another batch of soap

A friend was interested in making soap with me, so this morning she came over and we whipped up a batch. I wanted to make a shampoo bar, but since it was the first time I was going to try that recipe, I thought we had better start with one that I was pretty sure would work well.

We made another batch of sudsy all-vegetable, scented with 2 oz of lavender essential oil. No color. It seemed to work correctly. We got it to trace and poured it into one of my blue plastic "soap molds".

After she left, I started a batch of shampoo bar. It's this recipe from the Crunchy Chicken blog. It's a very small recipe compared to the sudsy all-veg, so it definitely won't fill one of the molds, but hopefully it'll be fine. I'm scenting it with 1 oz of Vanilla lace fragrance oil.
