Here is my first attempt to make soap.

I made this tallow.

A closer look.

This is the mold I am going to use.

Here is my tallow, olive oil and lye solution to make my soap.

This is after an hour and a half.

WE HAVE TRACE!! Only after I used my stick blender. I didn't think it would ever trace.

My soap is in the mold. I waited a while before I put it in the mold. Just in case I had a false trace.

A close up of my soap in the mold.
