This is amazingly beautiful!!These are finally ready to be packaged. The Awaken FO from NS held up really well. The detail in this design is kinda boggling my brain. View attachment 57367
Moonlit Path Fragrance Oil It doesn't outright claim to be to the BBW brand. OOB it smells similar but has some chemical notes to it. Hopefully this weekend I will get to make a few small batches of OPW and will test this and the Sage & Citrus in those batches. Sometimes I find the chemical notes in NG that are OOB don't come through in the soap. I'm hoping that's the case for this one.Is the Moonlit Path a BBW dupe? I seem to remember that fragrance a long time ago! Iām gonna need to check that out!
Glad your feeling better. I know how painful a foot problem can be' I had bunion surgery' the worst pain ever' mainly due to the blood rushing to foot every time I stood up.Just a boot for the time being. I go back in 2 weeks to make sure it's healing correctly. I'm hoping we'll stay with the boot - showering has been enough of a pain trying to keep weight off one foot! Thanks for the wishes. Hopefully my husband has successfully learned how to properly load my car now so that when I open the back hatch, the hand cart does not fall onto my foot.
ETA: Oh! I did do one soapy thing over my lunch break! I unpacked my NG order. I ordered a few samples (mistakenly thought they part of a $2 sample sale, but I was too lazy to cancel my order and reorder), a couple of scents that sell well and I was out of (Cucumber Splash, TPM, and Japanese Cherry Blossom) and two new FO's: Moonlit Path, and Sage & Citrus. I'm really liking the Sage & Citrus, so I may swap that for my OPW.
Ooooohhhh your soap is BEAUTIFUL' i'm gonna try this diffidently.Here is my spoon swirl. I am so happy that @JoyfulSudz posted her soaps and the video. I love the swirl and it was so easy to do with impressive results. I will be making soap like this often.
Little funny story: I forgot to turn off the oven when it cpop'd. It sat for 9 hours in a 170 degree oven. When I realized it when I woke up today I figured it was ruined. But it seems to be fine. It popped out of the mold easily and it cut divinely LOL. I think it is fine. That's the first time I ever did that.
This was the first time I used CC Black Raspberry Vanilla (as opposed to NS which is what I usually use). I woke up and the whole house smelled like wonderful fragrance. I'm like "ooooooo....this brand is a keeper". Yeah no, it's because it's been baking in the oven all night LOL.
I even double dutied the oven process by putting my cast iron skillet in there after I scrubbed it out to dry off, so it probably got even hotter than 170.
I'm pretty sure it gelled well LOL

Oh no!! Glad hubby was there at the rescue. Pretty mold, though.Today I tried a soap-speriment, with hilarious results.

It started, as most such things do, with a great idea! I made a prototype of a new kind of mould I wanted to try to make, and it looked pretty good.

I also remembered some calendula petals, dock root, and nettle powder I had been planning on trying out, so I figured I'd whip up a batch of soap, since it's been a while!

In keeping with the challenge theme I decided to go for a OPW.

But - apparently my new mould did not take kindly to being tilted (cough manhandled cough), and split all down one side... Luckily husband heard my cries for help and came to the rescue with some clamps.
I guess tomorrow will be V2 of the prototype...
Thanks! In retrospect it kind of reminds me of an ant farm so not sure if it's a keeper, design wisePretty mold, though.
Lashing strap across the long side of the mould? Also, it looks like you could āchooseā the shape of the wooden base. That's a luxury, since you can put a halved round timber there for easiest slanting and straightening, without any towels and provisional stuff.my new mould did not take kindly to being tilted
Ooohhhh PrettyHereās my spoon swirl. Not swirly enough as I thought ( only one twist of the spoon) so next time I will twist more.
But still a lovely effect.
