So I'm relatively new to candle making, in November I ordered a sample of wax to make candles for my mom mostly, she uses them in her bathroom. I got soy wax from Aztec, did the double broiler thing to melt the wax, made several different scents in the candles, worked great, learned I had to...

I scented the easter egg embeds with hyacinth fo, & the main part of the soap is scented with a blend of lilac fo's.

So long before I learned to make soaps, I decorated cakes, so the piping part of piping I get...What I'm not good at yet is- 1. do you use the same recipe or a different recipe? 2. how to know the batter is thick enough? 3. do you prepare the piping batter before your main batter, at the same...

scented with bescented's spellbound a dupe of 'Love Spell' before the cut! After the cut, I love how it came out! I added hearts inside, most went in correctly, some didn't. I hand molded the tops.

It has 6 cavities, 3 designs for presents! It's too late this year to have the soaps ready for Christmas this year, by next year I'll have figured out the best way to fill the ribbon areas with a different color!

I hand molded theses embeds (inside & out)

I made some CP embeds molded by hand for this soap. I also combined 2 FO's Pumpkin Souffle & Apple Spice. The combined Vanillin is 1.9% This is not for my Challenge, I'm using eggnog FO for that. I'll be using 'Fanta soda' color so I'll be making orange soda bottles for the embeds.anyway onto...

My regular soap recipe that uses coconut oil, It's Chamomile has both a Chamomile FO & Chamomile infused oil in them..therefor I used TKB Tradings Pearl Blue with a little TD, a mix of pinks (bescented, TKB Trading, & BB's colors), Canary Yellow from Bescented, Titanium Dioxide, & uncolored..I...

I used both chamomile FO & olive Oil infused with Chamomile flowers.

I'll be changing my recipe & adding palm kernel flakes to the recipe at the first of the month, this is for people who are allergic to coconut oil mostly. I considered Babassu Oil, only it is too hard to find & way too expensive for me.

My first Lard soap, I made at the request of a friend who wanted a soap made without coconut oil, because of an allergy. i got a new stick blender(the attachment fit onto my current stick blender so I now have a backup motor) I also got a new mold. & used new spatulas that I already had ordered...

I have a friend allergic to coconut oil, I ordered a new mold just for a Lard recipe with no coconut oil, ordered a new stick blender (matched my first stick blender, & can now interchange attachments) gathered new plastic containers to use that I hadn't used with the coconut soap, made the...

I got a tall & skinny mold, so I had to make two batches yesterday! Twisted Peppermint, a tiger swirl of sorts. and 'Orange Blossom' I'm loving this FO! for a floral it surprised me, it slowed trace a bit..handled beautifully!

so I have a friend whose husband is allergic to coconut oil etc. & i've used coconut oil in my silicone mold in the past, is it possible to clean the mold so no trace amounts of coconut oil remain before using the mold to make a lard soap recipe?

Is Patchouli EO, I used 1.2 for 30oz of oils. The scent is definitely sticking.

I used a hanger tool to get this design, that's why I'm saying a hidden taiwan swirl. basically I did the swirl inside the soap & not from the top of the soap. before the cut- I need to work on making hearts look better- got a bit messy on top. now for the cut..I achieved my goal of...

and ordered a 2 oz of pathouli EO to be sent to me...what is the best way to make the EO stick?

Instead of using the buttermilk that has cultures, I used the powder, I also added heavy cream & baby carrot puree, I added these after mixing in the lye water with the oils. my olive oil was at 75% so it took awhile to get to trace (I gave up at light trace & let it sit and get thicker.) I then...

I'm wanting to make a baby soap that uses 75-80% olive oil, not sure how long it would need to cure for. I do know that a castille soap recipe cures for 6 months.

I had a hard time removing this from the mold, it was 27 hours after i had poured it, next time I'll freeze the 1 lb mold for 2 hours before attempting to unmold. This was easy to unmold despite only being 25 hours after the pour & having half an ounce of baby oil in the batter for a 2 lb...
