Wow- that looks wonderful.
I love your avocado soap, by the way! It's the best luxury bar I've ever had the chance to use. Your soaps are fantastic.

I don't see anything shabby about those. But I do like the props along with the bars themselves.

Yours look like you got inspired by your "hippie" t-shirts! Don't you always wear psychedelic t-shirts? At least every time I've seen you, you've had those t-shirts on, I think!
I love it.
Thanks dcrog & yooper. The props are what they are - things to get folks over to the hop candy booth! I do really like making them but usually prefer to wear the more earth toned ones. The (controlled) randomness of the final patterns always amuses me. Like you say, the soaps that you make are usually much easier on your skin than the detergent bars they sell at the store!
@Melana, that is one gorgeous display of soaps! I bow to your skillz, Lady!
@B-Hoppy - yours look fab also! I love the display.

Thanks. I learned everything I know from @Yooper.
@B-Hoppy... Those look pretty good! Stonehenge for the stoner crowd!

You could wash them and use them for food, I guess. But I don't. Just in case there is some residue or something.
If I use 25 ounces of oils, that is enough for one loaf pan.

Those are great, Mouse!
It's funny that once you start using handmade good quality soap that you can't believe you ever used that detergent stuff from the store.
Bob noticed that when we travel, I don't usually bring a bar of soap for the motel stays and he hated the soaps in the hotel. He actually came to me and told me that he never realized how much he loved our soaps at home, until he was using hotel soaps and noticed how harsh they felt. I guess it's like brewing in that aspect- home made is often the best.

I take soap with me... And I happen to be named Bob too!
My wife would never say I'm spoiled....

I knew your real name was Bob, but I'm pretty sure that everyone around us called you "Mouse" anyway!
Wow, Bobs and soap must go together? Double wow! I was just making light of the fact that my name is also Bob when I remembered that the book that got me going was written by a guy named . . . : https://books.google.com/books/about/Essentially_Soap.html?id=ONA4AAAACAAJ

It's not surprising to me. I'm surrounded by Bobs.
My dad's name was Bob. My brother's name is Bob. My husband's name is Bob. My uncle's name is Bob.
My grandkid's middle name is "Robert". After my dad/brother/husband/uncle.
When in doubt, I say "Bob".
But Mouse will forever be "Mouse" to me.

Just stay away from PTN ...
PTN isn't 'Bob' he's 'Paul'.
And we all know that he showers outside.

Let's not jump to conclusions. We just know there's a shower outside.
