I can't exactly claim this as a soapy thing, but I just made my first lip balm using this recipe that @IrishLass posted a while back. Either I overestimated on the recipe size, or I underestimated the number of tubes to order, or both! I have plenty of tubes to give away, plus more chapstick...

These colors are fantastic @TashaBird ! I love the vibrance. What colorant did you use to get the rich navy?

I like these wrappers, and the black & white swirl on the right is so elegant! Today was my mom's family's annual hog butchering day. Yep, we rendered some lard. I haven't used "homemade" lard in my soap yet, but I'm eager to try it.

I made my challenge soap last Saturday, but I just used micas and TD, no pigments. Sorry to be so boring ;)

Just wanted to mention that this recently happened to me. I had ordered $5.93 worth of lanolin butter along with a few other items. A day or so after placing the order, I got a notification that $5.93 had been refunded to PayPal. Strange, I thought, but I hadn't gotten any notification that the...

I haven't made a lot of soap in the past few months, but I finally got around to photographing most of the batches I have made. As before, all fragrances are from Bramble Berry. Tobacco & Bay Leaf This batch was modeled after one I made a year or so again, but I thought it turned out rather...

I soaped today for the first time in around 2 months. This is English Rose, especially for my mom and grandma. There's a pink layer on the bottom with an ITP swirl on top. I just love wet soap tops!

LOVE these!!! I had no intentions of soaping today, but looking at these is almost making me change my mind.

I used up two bottles of FO today! It's so exciting to see our supply diminishing slowly. Some we've had for quite a while, so I'm ready to move those out...and then, you know, that supply's gonna need replenished! Both FOs were really good ones, so I'll probably end up ordering more. One...

Energy Midnight Waters White Tea & Ginger Tobacco & Bay Leaf Apple Sage Rejuvenating Eucalyptus Ginger Ale is fascinating...it smells very authentic, almost fizzy 😀

My first soap dough! I didn't set out to make it, but after a Monday-evening-semi-soapy-disaster-that-actually-turned-out-pretty-well-despite-the-well-behaved-FO-accelerating, I ended up with extra soap batter that was to a stiff pudding-like trace. Not knowing what to do with it since I'd...

Thank you! As far as the FO, I think I like it. I purchased it after I had covid and lost my taste/smell, which are still somewhat distorted. I can smell it, but I'm not sure if what I smell is accurate...so I don't feel like a good judge. My sister didn't love it OOB, but she thought it was...

Is this tip specifically for essential oils, or does it work for fragrance oils as well?

After much agonization about which butterfly to choose, here's my entry. This batch is fragranced with Bali Breeze FO from Bramble Berry and is colored with Sunset Orange, Yellow, and Mermaid Blue micas, in addition to activated charcoal (all from BB). This shows the pattern I was aiming for...

Maybe the swirl isn't as detailed and butterfly-ish as you would've liked, but you certainly deserve extra brownie points for such a creative idea---making the front and back wings different colors! That's really fantastic.

Photographed my entry options (all from the same batch) this morning. Now to decide which butterfly to choose out of the....the.... ....does anyone know what a group of butterflies is called? I had to google it 😄
