    Faces in soap

    At @Zing ’s suggestion I thought I would start a thread for people to post their soaps that have faces. @Catscankim has a good one... This drop swirl that I just cut has comic book villain faces.

    Share your unintentional meat soap photos

    I’ve been seeing a lot of posts recently about soaps that have turned out looking like meat. I thought it might be fun to share them in a meat thread. @Dawni You made a ham soap recently. This one was from the first (and only) time I rendered tallow. The whole house smelled like meat, the color...

    Olive oil soap from the West Bank

    What do you make of this video? They say they use baking soda. Is that a mistranslation? Also, I think the way they stack the soap to cure is beautiful. Wonder how that would play out in my home. 😁

    Lavender eo recs please

    Hi gang, Thought I would ask where you get (and what brand) your lavender eo. I finally ordered a 16oz bottle and am very disappointed in it. It’s made by Sun Essentials (purchased on Amazon). It accelerates like mad, which I don’t remember happening with whatever lavender I had used before. And...

    Didn’t expect this Soapy transformation

    In the fall I tried my first drop swirl. While I was happy with how the swirl looked, I was pretty disappointed in the muted colors. Imagine my surprise when I went to my friends house and saw a bar from this batch in her soap dish. I couldn’t believe how the colors changed. I LOVE the colors of...

    Hello, I just made my first batch of coffee soap and it was perfect....until I tried to cut it. It was so hard that when I cut it, it shattered into chunks.

    What kind of cutter is this?

    Can anyone tell me what kind of cutter this is and where to find it in the US? Is it even made for cutting soap? Looks like it could work well. Has anyone ever used one and could give it a review? I saw it on a YT video.

    What do your soap dishes look like?

    I’m not talking about dirty soaping dishes here. Since I started making soap, I decided I needed nicer soap dishes to hold the pretty soaps. I saw that @KiwiMoose just made a beautiful one. Just wondering if others have felt the need to step up their soap dish game. Do you have a favorite...

    Hello from Brooklyn

    hi everyone, So happy to have found you. I made my first batch of soap about a year ago so I could then teach my Girl Scout troop. Both batches came out great. I put it aside until recently when I decided it would be nice to make soap as holiday gifts. I have completely fallen down the rabbit...
