OK, here is another video, this time using our 3" diameter PVC pipe mold. We chose blue and white, to honor the Indy Colts of course, and Sun Washed Linen FO. Turned out great and the scent is outstanding. Hope you enjoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXai2SqYhTc Here is a still pic

Billie (DW) has researched and added incense to our hobby list (beyond candles, CP soaps, lotions, lip balms, and bath melts). Since it is fairly easy, I made this video showing this very simple process to make your own incense sticks. I figured the costs at just under 5 cents ($0.05) per stick...

Here's another FO idea we got from Krissy's shaving soap. It is uniquely awesome and manly, but a much milder scent than the Rum Spice we posted earlier. I think Rum Spice is still my favorite, but Dragons Blood is a close second. Just after unmolding. A closer look.

Here is DW Billie's latest adventure. It is a 4 color CP swirl with Rum Spice, that Krissy (Prairie Creations) uses in some of her after shave balm. I think it is one of my new favorite FO's, and traces very slow, which is great for making swirls. We also made another video with this batch...

Here are a couple of items Billie and I (mostly Billie) had fun with this week. The log mold batch (#2) is a start for the holidays. This is an in the pot CP swirl with Ezra FO. A closer view. Here is a CP Xmas log batch with red and green confetti, and Candy Cane FO. After...

Getting ready for the holidays, Billie just HAD to order and try some pumpkin FO. :D The whole batch A Closer look

Posted for DW Billie. I suck at HP, but thought I would practice. Did 40% water, added sugar and salt. Came out creamy and pourable, but have the caved in smiley on top, and my HP swirls still need a lot of work. :shock:

For something different, Billie tried a black raspberry and banana FO blend, using a Mantra swirl in our 30" log mold. Here is what we got.

Billie and I made another video showing a CP batch with Endless Love FO and white and gold swirls. Here is the video link ----> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp3yxn4Xntc And here are a couple of stills

We had a box of old soaps that did not turn out as we planned, or had a weak scent, or was just plain ugly. Billie decided to put it to use, so we separated bars by similar colors, primarily looking for blues and purples. We put each color group through the salad shredder. Cooked them down in...

Billie decided to tried something new for us this time. She has a sheet mold of small roses. She 1st made a batch of yellow and a batch pink roses using melt and pour, with some sparkles. She then made a batch of CP soap (FO - Sweet Pea & Me) with pink and yellow swirls, put in our dividers, and...

I was a geek for 34 years in a large corporation (systems and process automation architectures). I retired in 2007. Even though I enjoyed my job, I only missed work for about a microsecond. :D My job now is to bug DW Billie all day long. :D Billie became involved with candle making several...

Lexan (Polycarbonate) Lining on wood molds: In the past, we have tried cutting up fun foam sheets, several vinyls, freezer paper, plastic cutting board covers, and whatever else we could find to make liners. They start out great, but after a few batches the fun foam wrinkles and stretches...

After our amazed viewing of Barbara AL's swirl work, this was our best first attempt. Even with me watching (mmmm, breathing down Billie's neck) and trying to help, it was still a little difficult. We couldn't get the hang of placing the X's evenly over where each bar will fall. I think next...

The good - it is still soap. The bad - all the colors changed on us. The ugly - what happened to the blue base and lavender splotches Another experiment gone wild. Billie wanted to try something new using splotches to swirl instead of lines. We got the idea from our So Cal soap fiasco, when...

Well, we started off to make another video for two color swirls. However, we either blended too long, or the So Cal FO is a fast tracer, and the colors got way too thick before we could pour. It was more like large colored bird droppings into the batch, instead of a nice thin stream up, down...
