I'll try again with my lakes then - I tried once before, but I kept ending up with a black that was more bluish or reddish. I gotta be combining them wrong :think:

Hiya folks! So I was playing around with some black mica today for my bath bombs. Man, that stuff got everywhere despite gloves (I wore a mask thankfully, the glitter got all over in the air... surprised I'm not seeing sparkles every time I blink though!). The mixture seems pretty dark...

Whew! Good to hear - thank you!! :)

Hi all, I'm the worst kind of person, ugh. I worry about the stupidest, littlest things. So tonight I was playing with some glitter for my bath bombs. I accidentally moved my hand too fast with an open jar of it (the Black Onyx by Nurture Soap, so the biodegradable kind). Of course...

Good golly, this is all fabulous, amazing information!! I'm a lot more confident now about trying recipes with milks, honey, and beers added in :D Y'all have been a huge help, and now I'm back to building my list of ingredients to get (once I get more equipment :lol: ). Also I'm building a...

Hi all! I am so close to being able to make soap again, I can almost taste it (smell it?)! Just a few more things to pick up and I'll be ready. So I've been watching all kinds of videos and reading books for soaping. I'd say the only thing that really terrifies me still about it is the...

Thanks folks! :D I'll check out the recipe. I think I'm also going to test out some simple tapioca glue and see if that does the trick, or if it's going to make a mess in the water.

oooh, I didn't know that! :) I suppose all the sugar scrubs should have indicated it's fine to use with bathing, lol

Back again! My mind is just spinning today with ideas for my bath bombs. The recipe is getting so close to what I want it to be! I have no idea if what I have planned will actually work, but I've been curious if one can attach things to bath bombs. Things like embeds. Would melt and...

Hiya folks! I return with yet more questions ;) So I just had the neatest idea for bath bombs, but it would involve probably utilizing some sort of 'frosting' (or possibly a sugar scrub molded to look like frosting). I've been looking and looking at different recipes for BB frostings, and...

Thanks @lsg :D I'll check it out!

Hiya folks! So I ordered the salt dyes from TKB. I tried to mix the blue and yellow to get a deep green, but I was afraid of adding to much and ending up with a staining problem. So it's more of a mint green right now =/ Does anyone know if there are approved green dyes? I've been going by...

Good golly, there's so much to comb through here! :lol: Thanks for all the input folks, I really appreciate all of it :D @artemis - I have been playing with blends actually, yes! I'd love to make some SPN teas sometime, just got to dust off the tablet for the art part of it all!

Hiya folks! UPDATE - Well, they hardened right up! They're like rocks compared to my previous ones. However, upon testing them, they indeed sink like a rock *le sigh* Pretty sure that's the clay's work... Not what I wanted u_u @Luviesmom - Yes, I'm making round BBs n_n And yeah, it...

Hi folks, So. My experimentation continues. I grow a little more perplexed as each batch has yet to turn out to my expectations, so I'm thinking I'm being a little too zealous, trying to get too fancy starting out. What I'd like to know is, when you're mixing up the whole batch, I...

Sounds like finding a true tea scent is gonna be a challenge :lol: @artemis - I love Adagio. LOVE THEM :D

Hi all! Seems like I have a tough time finding true tea-smelling FOs. The one I picked up smells like flowers =/ Does anyone know or have recs for some good tea FOs that actually smell like tea? I'll be using them for bath bombs, in case that helps or changes anything :)

Thanks for all the responses folks! I appreciate it all :) Sounds like I'm in the safe, lol. Next time I'll just switch to some clean gloves for clean up just to be on the safe side though, especially when I get some EOs in.

Hiya folks, long time no see (kinda :lol: ) So I'm dipping my toes into making bath bombs. Tried my first batch tonight, I think they're going to crack or not stick altogether, but I'll unmold them tomorrow and find out. Wasn't sure if this was where my question should go, but here goes -...

Thank you so much everyone!! I really appreciate the feedback :D It's good to know I can make the lye solution so far in advance, I really hated doing that when I first did soap. The very first time I got lye, it came in a plastic-type container and the lye itself was in really superfine...
