Looking for recommendations on stick blenders. I'm blaming mine for recent air bubbles. I can't drop the soap to get the air bubbles out because the embeds will move around. And, I think I need a new SB soon anyway.

Live Long and Prosper. Second soap in the trio is on the curing rack.

Managed to make the second in my Star Trek series soaps today. Hopefully the embeds didn’t float around too much. Had to get up early to do it because I can’t do anything after doing 3 1.5hr deep tissue massage therapy sessions.

Well, my family is relatively ok. Lost some screen, some fence, and the pressure and wind pulled a few of the boards off the windows that they'd nailed on. The road in front of their house got so much water under that a truck made it crack. They've got no power yet, eating what they can, playing...

Please hold the vision of ✨safety and protection✨ for my family a few miles outside of Tampa. They're boarded up and hunkered down, and I think they're safe. My SIL is a paramedic who will be on shift though, so that's a bit scary. Does anyone else here have family in the path of this hurricane?

If I just wanted the look like above I'd make soap dough. If I wanted to use other soap I'd use the grater attachment on the food processor, not the blade.

Only a few gaps that needed “spackle”. ST soap

Finally cut my soap! Beyond excited!!! Check it out over in the gallery. Here’s a sneak peak of the glow in the dark part!

I want to say that the fact that I only had to spackle 5-6 bars around this embed was a miracle, but I’m gonna own it as mad soaping skills!! First soap in TWO YEARS! It had to be something really exciting to motivate me to get it done as busy as I am. I’m super happy w how it came out, and it...

Took my soaps out of the cooler. They were still a bit warm and soft. It took every ounce of will power I had not to try and unmold/cut them!!! Some beading on the surface I’m hoping is just water. I def had trace. May not have mixed FO completely I to all colors as I almost forgot it completely. 🤞🏼

I'm so intrigued! What're you doing with the strips of impression mat?

I will revisit this after I make today’s soap. Thanks so much! I can’t quite understand it right now, but I may hit you up when I go to use it. Haven’t made soap in two years so of course I decided to something really complicated. 🙄😆 Decided to add a star so extruded one at the last minute...

I'm so excited! Nervous I'll mess it up.

I’m worried about the workability and ash. I started over, but may need something help when I go to use the first batch. I’d prefer to keep the recipe as close as possible since I know that’s what’s worked before. And I decided to kick the can down the road and start over today. The lye water...

Planning to make soap today for the first time in TWO YEARS! (Except for the soap dough last week) I’m so nervous! I just mixed my lye water and realized I forgot to dissolve my sugar in the water first. Is there any way to save it? My recipe needs it for lather?

I was thinking of grating some older soap for speckle/stars. I want it really fine though!

The pic from yesterday wasn’t great as the embed was too soft to cut. Here’s a better slice from today. Now to figure the soap!! I’m thinking maybe OPW?

After two failed batches of soap dough due to old oils, my newest attempt w all new oils worked great!! Conditioned and wrapped the dough. Used my bath bomb press to do the first squeeze. It really helped!! I wasn’t sure if this extruded disc would work or not. I’m really surprised and grateful...

Castor and rice bran.

because they're compromised enough that my soap I tried making with them did not work out. Soap on a stick.
