I was going to leave this alone ... but it has bugged me all night. For about three to four years, two times a year, I have been making soap as presents for my sister and sister-in-law. I believe that I have shared the fun of handmade soap with them and feel extremely complimented when they...

Sorry that I bothered anyone with this post

Try your stick blender in small bursts of 20-25 seconds only. Then use the stick to just gently stir the mix. Repeat until you are just at the level that you want. Those couple of moments of just stirring give you time to catch when it is going into trace.

Stunning ... in fact, I would put that shawl in the 'breath taking' category of great works.

kchaystack, I am sorry to hear this as it makes me wonder what I might have learned from you or what experiences we might have shared but never will. But I sure can't judge as I have been lurking for more than 90 days and still not posted enough to 'qualify' to enter the challenges because I...

Thank you PennyJ!!!!!!

"Books Abound" = old leather = light rust brown

Well done NsMar42111 and dibbles ... very well done! And, of course, we are all waiting to see your first creations with your new molds !!!!! And, thank you to JoeyG, the Mold Meister, for bringing this opportunity to the forum members !!!!

Hey Dunbar! First and foremost welcome to the forum!!!!! I am a newbie as well, having made my first batch of soap in May this year. The responses are leaning towards faulting you on the way you interrupted the criticism and in implying that you have added an emotional content to the post...

Can I please stand down wind from your kitchen when you do the 12 scent test ????

Have you tried one half hour in the freezer yet ? That works sometimes to give it that final firmness needed to drop it out of the mold.

Oh, Please TOOOOOOT! If that was my soap I would be doing a little war dance across the kitchen floor, signing "I Did That!"

OH! Geez-zoo-flip!!! That is gorgeous!!!! What a smile that one is.

I don't know yet, KeelSoaper! We will both discover how the colors behave after the soap has it's four week curing. The micas that I use are from Nuture Soap and so far I have not had any bleeding from the colors. But this is the first time that I have used their Neon line ... so I really...

Can't wait to see the out come for this loaf ... please post photos after you pour.

Keelsoaper !!! Just love your confetti soap!!!! And love the soft brown combination of colors you caught that make the confetti bits really show up. What coloring agent did you use for the medium brown top portion?

Well ... since you asked .... sheepish grin here! So I was taking photos of a totally different type of project this morning and thought while I was set up I would take some of the soaps I have been having fun with. My photo set up is very simple. I have two, white, full sized foam-core...

Am I hanging out with the Soap Drunk Crew ???? If so, its the right place for me.

I'm addicted, addicted I tell you, to the adrenaline rush of un-molding and cutting homemade soap loaves .... AHHH! And don't anyone dare recommend a twelve step program that can 'fix me' from it!
