    Thanks Soap Gremlins!!

    So, this is a first. Made this coffee soap on Monday and by yesterday had a slimy liquid on top 24 hours later. Put some liquid on the tip of my finger and zap tested it, no zap (good sign). Figured I would let it sit another day to absorb the liquid. This morning still had the slimy liquid on...

    Just a Couple of New Soaps

    I have been making GM soaps with natural colors for a couple of months for my PL. I missed playing with my colors (and I have a zillion of them), so I made a couple of new ones to replenish those that ran out. First one is Lavender 40/42 with sparkle mica and purple vibrance from Nurture. Did...

    Tracing with GM Soap

    Does anyone see that their GM soap traces or accelerates quicker than with just water? I SB to emulsion then add color and fragrance/EO stirring by hand, and within no more than two minutes I have a heavy trace and gloop it in the mold. Now, this has even happened on a naked soap. I know the...

    I hate you Geranium Rose EO

    Why do you have to be such a fool and rice and accelerate like it's going out of style?? :( Here is hoping a good gel will settle this out a little.

    Tricks to pouring from glass bottles?

    Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to pour EO/FO from glass bottles like those from WSP or BB? Anytime I am trying to measure I always spill down the side of the bottle because of the way it pours out.

    CP with MP Drop Swirl

    I found this lovely video by Handmade in Florida and was wondering if anyone has tried it and if you see any issues with how the soap would be. I have some MP I would like to use up but really don't want to do embeds. TIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TzuqADsHL4

    CP with soapnuts

    I found a thread from 2013 on here about soapnuts in CP but I really didn't get what I was looking for. I think the process is you boil the nuts in your distilled water and then strain. Once cooled you can mix your lye in as normal, right?

    Today, the DH and I worked out booth at a craft show. We had never done this one but from the application it sounded like it would be a nice one. It was juried as I had to send in photos and wait to be accepted. It is a two-day event (my first two-day one) so I will have to be back tomorrow...
