Here are some pictures of my newest soaps. Had some fun experimenting with soap dough and a few techniques. Sorry about the labels, but too lazy to take a second set of pictures. Confetti with Diagonal pour, layered turmeric with swirled top, lavender with attempted spoon swirl, peppermint with...

Still not ready to tackle a batch, but managed to take some photos of my last few batches. The one is a scraped floating soap scented with a baby powder flavour oil and the secong a confetti soap with a sherbet flavour oil.

I am thinking of adding a 3d perspective to my cut bars by "pasting" a little somthing on the corner or face of the cut bar. Has anyone got any experience or advice on this? All will be cp, no mp involved.

I am really struģgling to find nice extruder discs in South Africa. Any possible diy solution?

I have read all the confetti soap threads and felt really inspired. After grating all my old bats, some of them where really crumbly and turned into a powder. I sifted this fine powder out. Any idea what would happen if I incorporate them in fresh batter. Would it make litle specks or disappear?

We are having a rodeo in our town and I would like to create some special soaps for the occasion. Any ideas what EO's I can combine to create a special "cowboy" scent? Flavour oils are difficult to get hold of and I know very little about EO's, so any help or ideas will be appreciated.

Has anyone tried using "Gloves in a bottle" instead of latex gloves when working with lye? I read a lot of reviews about people using it when painting and using solvents, but was wondering if it would protect against lye? The normal gloves really makes my hands sweat terribly and results in a rash.

I know this has been discussed in a few places, but I still need some answers, can somebody please help? What would be the average size of a bar of soap? If soap loses 10% weight during curing - dies it imply that it also loses 10% of its lenght, width and thickness?

I want to try some whipped/ floating soap. Can I use only tallow? Or must I mix in a liquid oil? Also, what would be the most foolproof? HP or CP?
