New soap

I got back to making soap now that most of my Dad's estate has been settled.  I made two batches using the lard, olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil and rice bran oil I had on hand.  On loaf was scented with peach and pineapple mixed and the other with Dragons Blood.  The blue/gray batch was scented with honeysuckle and used for swirling and the leftover was made into bars.  The batter got thick very quickly so the drop swirls didn't penetrate very deeply, but that's OK.  Dragons Blood makes soap get dark due to the vanilla content.
