This is the one I do with the zebra/tiger stripes in black and white...just loving it how it goes together...
Off to allow another video to upload while I do other stuffs then :P
Nearly natural soaps, lotions, scrubs and more! Always finding ways to incorporate the awesome creamy goodness of my fresh goats milk into bath and body products meant to soothe and care for the skin! Also as time rolls on adding some other things to the line up to spice it up a bit....a touch of crochet....some plushies....random things ;) Makes my day a little more interesting.

See, what had happened was....
I started out to make "Tiger Stripes" and ended up with "gloppy forgotten hot ass mess" - seems if tiger stripes are the intended goal, then I am gonna need some better fencing! Fencing you ask? YES, FENCING!
So...the other day...I go in to make my rendition of tiger stripes in soap. I have some red and yellow clays from Brambleberry I want to use and this "Little Black Dress" fo from Rustic Escentuals I have used before...I figure since I already made a tiger stripe in "Black Tie" from Nature's Garden (which I refer to as "City Slicker") I will do a "City Slicker for her version....
My goats however disagreed with THAT plan! As I was saying..........
It was a GORGEOUS DAY outside and I had the front door open to catch a little of that in the house. Nice breeze, lovely weather, just enjoying the day. I go in, I set up everything, get my lye and oils going like a team of soapy goodness, split the batch, mix in the yellow clay and JUST as I finish mixing in the red I hear CLOMP CLOMP clompclompclompclomp!!!!!!! Now wait a minute, there should be NO clomping of hooves!!! Here's where it gets good, I ALMOST wish I had been doing a video, except the amount of bleeps needed would be excessive to say the least!
I spin around, and what do I see? The faces of 3 goats staring back at me - IN MY KITCHEN!!! Initially, I freak, I shut the door to the soap room and just pause. What do I do? Do I soap on? NOOOOO!!!! The bedroom door is open too! From the window in my soap room door, there go 3 of the goats - ON MY BED!!! NOOOO!!!!And where are the other 2 goats from that pen????
So, in a fit of super pissed off, the gloves and goggles come off and out I go...seems that somehow the girls have managed to DESTROY the pen the bucks never could! There's a board cracked in half and the chance for escape was taken!!! I stood there - livid - for just a second. Well, actually closer to 5 minutes, while the offenders clamored around me for attention. I had soap waiting to be poured after all...and so I shuffled the does onto the back porch (which is also a goat maternity ward and such at times and currently houses my spoiled "in milk does". Yeah, sure, Willow the Mean is out there - I didn't care. I let her whoop on the yearlings while I returned to my soap...my sad, gloppy, now been sitting there for probably half an hour at least soap. Because for some reason, once you want to catch a goat THEY KNOW IT! Took me a bit to round them up - they KNEW I was hot!
As I was saying - I returned to my now nearly solidified and saponified soap batter. I proceeded to glop it into the mold. Let me add here - I LIKE my tiger stripes a bit thicker, but not that thick! The only photo I got of the process was the end...take a closer look:
Not all the glitter in the world can make it better....
Not all the clever posing helps....the goats ruined my tiger stripes! Actually, to be honest, the goats and a combo of my crappy fencing ruined my tiger stripes :(
So instead, I give you from the week before this:
This would be the one I mentioned - "City Slicker" - aka "Tiger Stripes UN-interrupted!"
So yes, I have been pouting and not soaping much, and yes...oh yes...I have one more reason why the "Big Cats" and I don't mix. That story will come in a few days time I think....let's just say there's a VERY good reason I don't use glass when I soap...
AND YES, I made the black and white BEFORE I knew about the challenge and NO I don't care :P (I'm still a little pouty about spending a day fixing fences and what happened tonight...but that is another story all together...)

In regards to Tiger Stripes...
All I have to say TONIGHT at least is this: If you intend to do anything with "tigers" involved...you will need a better fence!
Details to follow after I have slept on this one....but for now...I really mean it...if it contains the word "Tiger" make sure your fencing can keep one contained... :(
