Hi Mary I know how you¹re feeling, the same thing happened to me last week. My first batch of seized soap was the soap swap batch, luckily I listened to Bill and had planned to do 2 batches. Funny thing is the seized batch looks awful but brighter better colours and the batch that did work the colours are so-so. I have 2 batches of soap that weren¹t quite as I¹d planned and usually when it¹s just bung old soap for family (the norm) no problems and lovely colours, etc. The pressure to perform I was hoping to show everyone how much I¹ve learnt and grown from last soap swap but with these two they¹ll be thinking I¹m going backwards. I¹m not doing another batch I¹ll give what I¹ve done and I¹m sure that it will be OK. Don¹t worry we¹ll love the soap anyway (we know how much effort went into it).
