I think it looks beautiful!

If you are going to shrink wrap your soaps, instead of then putting them into a bag tied with string, you could just tie the string or ribbon around the soap with your tag hanging? That way you just have to decided what kind of string and tags you want and not have to worry about all kinds of...

Those are great questions! I'm a noob too and I'll be watching for answers from the more experienced soapers too

I have not cut into a bar yet and I haven't zap tested it yet... maybe my sister will lick it for me muhahahah :twisted: I'll try it and i'm glad to know its just the honey and I can still used the soap. I will diffently try the suggestions about how to incorporate the honey next time...

Here are the before and after pictures. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us if it indeed is the honey, can the soap still be used?

i kept the temp under a 100 degrees for the lye. I used frozen milk and stired in little bits of lye at a time until it was all melted and milky. Then at trace I added the oats and honey. After pouring into the mold I put it into the fridge to prevent gel. I left it there for 2 days, then I...

Hi, I am still considered a soap noob (only been researching and making soap for 2 years) and I made my first goatmilk soap using frozen goatsmilk. I added ground oats and honey... well when i first undmolded the soap it was beautiful! And I was so happy! Now, less than a week later, my soap is...

Hi, I just did my first CPOP soap and got the same wierd skin of bubbles. I am sure it is just a cosmetic issue, but is there any way to clean up the soap so its not so wierd looking?

Your soaps look awesome. I want to eat them!

Yesterday I found Goat's Milk at the Walmart. I was passing the dairy section and sure enough tucked away next to the soy milk were cartons of goat's milk. I bought it! Its sitting in zippock baggies in the freezer! I'm so excited to try making my first goat milk soap!

Indian Sandalwood - Does not really smell like true sandalwood. This is a strong scent and comes off as being very masculine. I'm not sure if I like it. Maybe the smell will get better as the soap cures. No discoloration... yet. Bamboo and White Grapefruit - OMG! I really like this FO! You...

Here is my soap after sticking it over night in the refridgerator to prevent gel. Very creamy looking. I made a small one pound batch of soap using Peppermint OE and cocoa powder. They smell awesome! I probably should have waited a little longer before I cut the soap. They have the consistancy...

I was just trolling the forum and came across this thread. Very interesting info. Making another batch this weekend and I think I want to stick my soap in the fridge to prevent gel. Just so I can see what the difference is for myself. :)

You know, I never even thought about the fact that CO and PKO being similar in properties. I will definitaly take your advice and go half and half . Thanks for the tip about soaperschoice and butters oils by nature. I will have to check them out.

Butt Naked was a disapointment in the end. The scent became less fruity and more purfumey and it really discolored my soap. I just placed another order with NG and because you all seem to rave about the Sea Salt Caramels I did add that to my list. I also ordered Bamboo and white grapefruit...

I just ordered some new soaping supplies from Bramble Berry. Cocoa butter, shea butter, and the pigment sampler pack. I have never worked with those oils before nor have I ever used pigment. I am very excited! I haven't made soap in about 2 months and I can't wait to put on my goggles and get...

Can you add fragrance to the one bar recipe? If so, how much?

I got my lye from Essential Depot. I don't recall any issues and plan to purchase from them again.
