I have seen many soaps with orange peel looking stuff in them (or on top)... is it really orange peels? If so, how do you use them without them rotting in the soap... do you peel then dehydrate? I would really love to try it! Any advise?

The newest one is the blue, it kinda looks like a fish tail to me! Lavendar, purple Lemongrass, yellow Oatmeal, Sensuous Sandlewood Blue, Rosemary, tea tree, peppermint Green, peppermint Half White Half Brown, Sandlewood Vanilla

but it's not DOS... it only happens when I use the Sandalwood Vanilla FO... Does anyone know what it is or why it might be happening? It seemed like the FO did it right when I added it to the soap...

I used coco powder, I was thinking about using coffee, but too uncertain of it to try it, I am a newbie! I put the log in front of the heater to and then forgot about it, so i thought i overheated it, but it came out ok! The bottom half is Sandalwood vanilla so I am expecting it to be...

I wanted to do a thin line in my soap in between colors.... can you use really fine coffee grounds? I was thinking to put one layer in the mold, sprinkly thin layer of coffee grounds and then poor the next layer on it.... I wanted to use coco powder but i don't think the kind i got will work...

I had a problem with the purple I tried to use on my last color attempt so it took some guts to try the green.... I tested a small batch on my last batch so I knew what it was going to do before I used so much in this batch.... I like it... although it's more girly than I normally do... what...

I posted a message earlier about a soap i made (or should I say tried to make)... well it tried to seize in the tub... finally got it into mold.... here's some pics of the product.... [/url] Uploaded with ImageShack.us You can see how the liquid is oozing out of the soap.... don't know...

I did the fridge method to prevent my soap from gelling, and I molded it at thin trace, it is now the consistancy of thick butter, will it continue to get harder as the days pass, it has been about 24 hours now, first 12 in the fridge, last 12 in room temp. It is definately a lot firmer than...

wanted to say hi to everyone. I do cold process soaps.... My last couple of batches have a large crack down the middle. I researched this and decided to start at lower temperatures, 110, it's hard to be patient and wait to mix! It still cracked though.... I put this batch in the fridge...
