Thanks for the tip! I will have to try that next time!

I wonder what flax seed gel would be like as an additive in soap? That would eliminate the scratchiness of the seeds themselves, but still provide some kind of flax benefit? You make the gel from flax seeds, and then strain out the seeds. I've seen recipes for it around on the internet...

I made a soap using eggs. It turned out great. I love the feel of it. Very luxurious. I read all the information I could ahead of time, such as the article mentioned above. Soap on the cool side. I reserved some of my oils and blended the eggs before adding to the soap batter. The eggs tended...

I also tried the tree swirl for the first time recently. The Bamboo FO I was using accelerated the batter somewhat and I was panicking, but I still managed to pull off three tree layers. I love the snowy look of your tree, The_Emerald_Chicken! For anyone looking for a video, I don't think I...

Bartlett & Bosc You guys are fabulous with the puns around here! I had a good laugh!

I love the seahorse! I was thinking about asking a ceramic artist to make me a custom soap dish for my triangular soap, when my sister-in-law, who is a stained glass artist, said she had just found the perfect mold for making a triangular dish. Here's a picture of what she made for me...
