I posted three new pieces of jewelry today - just started making stuff again over the weekend. Also posted pics of my grandaughter. You can view all at http://www.thestudioalamode.blogspot.com/ I put soap aside for this week so I could get back into a jewelry flow. Any comments would be...

Hey, everyone... I've decided to re-open my esty shop. I changed my banner name from "Studio a la Mode, Hancrafted Designer Jewelry" to "The Studio a la Mode, Handcrafted Modish Delights". I used to just sell jewelry, but it became too difficult to manage inventory in the shop and in the...

There's lots of CP pics, but not a whole lot of MP. Come on outta the woodwork MP'ers... we wanna see what you got!

Are there any special considerations when shipping bars of MP to customers? Just wondering - It doesn't seem like the MP raw blocks have to do anything in particular, but I wondered about soaps. Should boxes be labelled "do not leave in sun" or anything like that? What is the best...

I just got my first goat milk base from WSP and it melted very well. After I poured it in the mold, it kind of did some wonky things. Now I'm used to little bubbles on the back, but after it had started to harden, like maybe 5 minutes into it, a LARGE bubble rose up the side of the mold. This...

My husband bought me SoapyLove's new book with instructions on how to create your own texture sheets. It is such a cool idea, and uses the same Amazing mold putty that I used in my molds that I posted here in the forums. The soaps in the demo are absolutely beautiful!!!! Her stuff is so...

I'm thinking of getting some shrink wrap and am wondering if there is a special size for rounds, or if there is special preparation needed if you are shrinking circles with rectangular shrink wrap? I don't want to spend the money if it doesn't work very well. Someone had mentioned using...

Does this forum have a photo group on flickr? If not, do any members here belong to any other photogroups on flickr?

Well, here's my first attempt at making my own molds. I had some molding putty left over from some PMC projects and thought I would give it a try. The first pics are from the mold of the top of one of my salt & peppers from my S & P collection... I had to plug the holes before I made the...

I had two young ladies to get graduation gifts for, so I decided to make them a couple of soap gift boxes. Unfortunately, I have been home today not feeling well, so my husband delivered them for me. I wish I could have seen what they thought of them. I put the soaps in a wire mesh sorting...

OK, this doesn't have to relate to soap... We all have done it... spent money on something that was a lousy deal, didn't work, or just was a stupid purchase in hind sight. What's yours? Mine was a sink hose. We didn't have one, and the way our sink was set up, we couldn't install the...

I would like to build a FAQ for MP soap. I am going to go through some of the old posts to gather some information, and thought I would ask current membership for input in case people currently on the forum would like to contribute. I'm looking for tried and true answers, not speculation...

I made some Loofa soaps today. It was my first time. I did the 'traditional' kind by putting them in a PVC pipe, the slicing soap bars. Those are in BB Hemp base with vanilla scent. I also put some loofa in the blender and chopped it up, then put it in melted soap. I made a few oatmeal...

Do any of you do a "soap club" -- like buy 12 bars, get the 13th free, via a tracking system or punch card? Or, do you offer a "Soaper's Dozen" - where they buy 12 get one free? Just curious if this would work with soap as an incentive for repeat business or to encourage quantity...

.... instead of being HERE! I should be cleaning my house, specifically: * removing packaging materials from the dining room table * taking shoes that we have all kicked off upstairs (hmmm.... eight or nine pairs sitting in front of the couch and only three of us live here???) * getting...

I decided on a Candy Box for my chocolates. I made my own labels and put the chocolates in little paper cups. I am thinking about selling them for $8.00 a box - Does this sound reasonable?

I'll start... Kathryn Muddoobber, or Mudd for short. (Last name was "Dobbs")

Here's my first try at chocolate soaps. I am going to get some little candy cups to put them in. They smell so good, and when I poured them, they reminded me of brownie mix.

Been playing today. One of my layered bar soaps didn't take properly, so re-melted it and made several novelty soaps. All are orange ginger - the brown dots are ginger and nutmeg. I used orange fo. Angels with "guilded" wings (gold mica)...
