just had to post this! These are two of my greatest friends who have a Blessing and Talent they often get to share with others. during this Season we are all currently in its good to remember what is truly important to each of us! i know there are a few different Spring Time Celebration...

Thanks guys!! This was the first soap of mine that I have sent to my Mom, she was surprised that it was actually soap! xD

Thank you @Dawni! I am always super critical with my creations so of course in hind sight I see all I did WRONG. But this early its more about being excited to try again and do better. would love to get that pencil line more "on point" (see what I did there xD) and texture on the tops needs a...

This one is called Pink and Blue Skys. The scent it Poppy by Coach (our Version) from Bulk Apothecary. This is a Christmas present for Mum! Shhh dont tell! lol xD she is OBSESSED with her pink and blue sunsets and sun rises, that magic moment where the low whispy clouds are painted pink by the...

i agree with @Martha check out http://soapcalc.net/info/helptext.asp. if you haven't already. great site, helps A LOT. NaCl (table salt) solution as water weight for LYE water can also help to speed trace and harden bars. also more natural additives like kaolin clay can help to thicken soaping...

@Zany_in_CO just got done making this castile recipe! looks great so far, behaved wonderfully. i did 4 bars unscented and uncolored. i may have misjudged my molds cause i had enough badder to fill another 6 bar mold. so i decided to try out the BB Gingerbread Cookie FO i got in tere holiday...

@Lynnz I feel like that is a well worn phrase in soap making!! lol couple times now ive just stood over and glared at my "creation".... tis now much easier to sympathize with Dr. Frankenstein....

Thank you! The red is just clear MP with red mica (MM Voodoo). pretended it was ribbon candy and poured it out onto a silicone mat, then rip, twist and place! wicked easy. cool results with lots of inspiration for future endeavors! yea. gotta get me one of these as well. ordered a whole bundle...

So, im trying to come up with a recipe for a bar of soap i intend to use as a face bar. i know everyone has different skin types but im more looking for a basic recipe (not looking to steal any ones secrets xD). And/or some tips on what NOT to do; things to stay away from. i know i really don't...

Thank you for the tips! I've resorted to hand cutting with fishing line. which works really well if im very patient. im not sure how long it will last but i have a test bar from about 4-5 weeks ago and the fragrance oil has all but dissipated (at least as far as i can smell from the outside)but...

Thank you Marilyn! I am fairly new to soap making so am very proud of anything I can get into and back out of a mold at this point! xD Used BB Candy Cane. it came in their holiday collection. its a... perfumey kind of peppermint, and as its' description says, it does accelerate slightly. think i...

Just finished these! so excited! first time with this technique. only problem is the one i seem to keep running into. dont have a wire cutter yet and i keep "chipping" the bottom edge with my knife.

Getting ready to unmold candy cane bars for Christmas!

Made these bars with Poppy (a dupe of the Coach scent of the same name) by BA (an amazing fragrance I will continue to use in less involved designs). I attempted an intricate swirl and knew I was in trouble when I had to PLOP my batter into the second pitcher. After mixing in the first color (an...

this is what i got from a quick google search for "what are fragrance oils made from": Fragrance oils are a mixture composed of essential oils, synthetic aroma chemicals, and aromatic resins. In order to achieve the scent that a perfumist is trying to achieve, the perfumist has more than 3000...

YES!! I had the same exact thing happen! I remember thinking it smelled just like burnt hair. after about a week of curing i really had to sniff to smell it. now about three weeks later they just smell like peppermint!
