I like the blue, it reminds me of the sky blue just before sunset on a clear day.

@Zany Thank you for the Correct Labeling for soap that I'm guessing is heading for sale. I do not want to confuse anyone about labeling. I give my soap to family only, and as far as they are concerned the only thing they want to know is do I want them to pay for the soap. I refuse payment...

I passed this on once before but I will offer this to you as well. I found this option awhile back and make up wrapping boxes for friends and family as I do not sell my soap either. I print my soap information directly on the box before cutting it and I even print a picture or something to...

May I suggest you try a small batch to test the acceleration and the dark color that will result.

I like the Pink. If my sister saw it she would drive me crazy wanting me to make that soap for her. Thank you for sharing.

I’m not sure this will help explain the reaction with the lye, but Ox gall is gall, usually obtained from cows, and is composed of the following: fatty acids, bile acids, inorganic salts, sulfates, bile pigments, cholesterol, mucin, lecithin, glycuronicacids, porphyrins, and urea. I’m willing...

If you replace the water with wine, you can remove most of the alcohol be bringing the wine to a boil in an open top container then turn the heat to low and let evaporation to occure. Water alcohol is an azeotrope that means you can’t just boil it to separate the alcohol from the water. To do...

I'll help.

I purchased a remnant of Vinyl Sheet Flooring and covered my bench. I’ve spilled crystal lye on the surface and could not stop to clean it for about an hour. No damage to the surface. I have enough Vinyl Flooring to replace what’s on my bench if needed. Cost me about $20.00 US. Been soaping...

I also have a copy of her book, but I use “Caliber E-book,” (it’s free online) to convert the PDF to Epub format and I no longer have to use the password. Caliber E-book, also has a reader, and manages all of my ebooks. calibre - E-book management

Not sure how available it is for you, but when I had hand surgery the doctor had me gently rub in Vitamin E to reduce scaring. I poked a hole in gel caps for the E, but didn’t think it would help. My cut healed fast and now you would have to look really hard with a bright light to even find the...

I think the use of a colored base is a strong and beautiful technique with a swirl. I hope you don’t mind if I try it for my next soaping.

Yesterday I made two simultaneous batches one with infused yellow dock root, and one without. I brought both to light trace and mixed the two for a pot pour. The yellow dock batch had a raspberry red color. But I also noticed the yellow dock batch was thickening quickly so I had to work faster...

I’m so glad you had enough time with the acceleration to mold the soap and do the spatula swirl. It turned out to be beautiful soap.

I hope it is just a bloom and not mold, the soap is truly gorgeous.

I found this brand available at this site and also on Amazon. https://support.jamestowndistributors.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015933874-Creosote-in-pine-tar

If anyone is interested there is a really nice phone apt called “INaturalist.” It’s free, you take a picture of the bug, leaf, or plant and then the network of members will help identify what you have. It works very well, as there are experts who use the apt as well, and can Identify just about...
