Happy New Year! Life happened and I haven't made soap for quite a while...I have missed soaping and the creativity that it inspired, so here I am. :mrgreen: Lots of familiar and new names, and of course lots of great photos and tips to try out. I am looking forward to getting re-acquainted...

I haven't posted any photos in a while, so here are a few soaps I made. My kid took the photos--she's pretty good! Anyway, to the left is my canolive test batch scented with lemon, lavender and a bit of orange 5x...This smells YUMMY. The middle is OMH, unscented, made today and looks rather...

I purchased some Rainbow Mica samples from Cosmo a month or so ago and finally got a chance to try them out. I loved the shimmer and was hoping but not expecting it to stay in the soap. I was really hoping the colours would stay and they certainly did! I am VERY happy with the results. I think I...

Just sayin'. :p I suggested to my daughter that we go downtown to the Parliaments and mingle with the thousands that are going to be wandering around doing the same thing. Nuts? Yep. Enjoy the day!

I made myself two wood log type molds, one of which is truly worthy of Red Green's approval but hey, it works. :mrgreen: So, I've been experimenting again, this time with sunflower and palm oils. Despite the controversy with using palm oil it contributes to the making of a really, really nice...

This took some time to make but turned out rather nicely. I used paprika infused olive/rice bran oil, as well as a few strands of saffron infused in olive/coconut oil for contrast. It is fully gelled and still very soft. Scented with orange and frankincense. My daughter says the round ones...

I've decided that soapmaking is going to consume me unless I force myself to sloooow doooown. It's just so darn fun, especially when new and good things come in the mail that I just have to try. Left to right, clockwise: 1) Purple glitter soap, by special request from my daughter. This one...

The good news is that I found the chunks. Have a great weekend!:-D

I've been a little busy these past couple of weeks. :-D From left to right 1st photo: -Oatmeal Milk Honey soap, HP (lovely stuff) -Bastile soap with olive and coconut oil -Beer soap, complete with suds. Even smells a bit like beer. I used cocoa to darken the bottom and some titanium dioxide...

Ohhhhh! With all the beautiful soaps on display today (love that coffee and goatmilk swirl one!), I am compelled to display my nasty rebatch. The green is a congealed shade of boogies that highlights the rest of the chunks. My kid hasn't decided whether they're hideous or not. I love all of my...
