wow! this almost makes me want to start creating CP soap :) I'm still into MP which I love for many reasons. But one big reason is I can knock out a special order quickly! I'll post one of my favs in a bit (image not on my mac).

+++++ I should buy some of this just to satisfy those customers who are asking. I tried making one with another soap base and adding Silk but didn't like the experience. I used it as body soap and loved the silk in it! Carolyn Shore Soap

I’ve been commissioned to create a soap in memory of someone who died by Suicide. Her favorite perfume was Byblos. If anyone has suggestions on how or where I can find a similar scent, that would be great. Thanks! P.S. - 100 bars! Carolyn Z Shore Soap NC

I agree - you can forget how bad some shows are when there's a gap of time in between. I'm in my 3 rd year of selling soap and learn something each time. My last show (inside during the summer!) I put my $10 bath products in sale for $7 and sold a bunch! I also determined that people like to buy...

I sell jelly soap mostly to teen girls. :)

It's definitely the base. Perhaps I'll try again once all the humidity is out of the air. Thanks everyone.

Put the glitter on before it dries. Seems to stay put that way.

MICA! Beautiful in clear soap. I recommend Mad Micas located in FL. They are great, fair and friendly folks :)

I like Stephenson soap bases. SFIC is good as well. My last purchase was Stephenson 25# of Triple Butter (nice, gentle, white soap) and Stephenson 25# of clear. I purchase from Candle Science which is nearby and drivable so I can save on time and shipping cost :)

I make and sell Jelly Soap. Easy to make!

Perhaps Galaxy soap? I made some freehand and they turned out pretty yet they don't sell. Probably not the right audience yet.

Didn't move the mold - this happened minutes after spraying or not spraying. I looked and the fan was not on. Alcohol is 99% - too much? I thought that was the best. I'll sure try using 91% on the next batch! What's 99% good for if not this? Thanks again! Carolyn - Shore Soap

Lately I keep getting ripples in my soaps. This is a special order and no matter what I do, it still ripples. I do spray with alcohol lightly to blast bubbles but that didn't matter in the past. This is a triple butter base with mica and FO added. Thanks fellow soapers! Carolyn Z Shore Soap NC

I like pouring two different colors at the same time into a bar shape mold and see what happens. Usually very pretty. Just watch videos for various techniques. My customers love the embeds I do in clear soap. Ex. Toy cars, paw patrol doggies, etc. I like making soaps for kids :)

Yeah buying soap isn't cheap. Just watch for the sales from a variety of vendors, then pounce! I got tired of paying crazy shipping fees so tracking down a local supplier. That keeps the cost down as well. Good luck!
