    When to compete?

    Anytime you feel ready is a good time. When I first found the forum, I kept struggling to get the 50 posts since I mostly read. I still made the challenge soaps but did not enter or showed them around. They were hideous, and I cringe looking back. It was a new medium for me, so it took a...

    March 2020 Challenge: inlaid soap design

    I may start posting my failures, which were many. I cant seem to concentrate on anything. Made a soap today and forgot to add the hard oils. The soap was already in the molds, but I could not figure out why I did not have enough for the various molds. Once I started cleaning and lifted the...

    Coronavirus

    We are not sure yet. We are under voluntary quarantine since this all started, only going out if we had to. That day, since we had to renew our tag and change of address after the big move, we went out to get that done. We did not find out about our exposure until yesterday, but we were...

    March 2020 Challenge: inlaid soap design

    My soap is carved. I have a somewhat ok soap but, as per my usual crazy tendencies, I have decided that I want something on the back too. Each design different, because I need more complications when it calls for something simple. Waiting on the soap to set a bit to keep working on it. I...

    Coronavirus

    We went to the store for our usual weekly shopping. They were completely out of Mac and Cheese, toilet paper and towels, Pasta sauce, etc. Plenty of veggies and other miscellaneous stuff that you have to prepare. All stores in the area our out of mainly toilet paper and towels

    March 2020 Challenge: inlaid soap design

    Two failures for me so far. I get what I think is a great idea,only to realize that it's crazy to try to get that amount of detail into a small area. Back to the drawing board. Plenty of base to give it a couple of tries.. or 20.

    SMF February 2020 challenge - Ione swirl

    No place to soap yet, and just started unpacking the molds, micas and miscellaneous other soapy things yesterday.. This move just about killed me. I am going to try to soap in my kitchen until the soap room is ready. I promise to give it a shot if I find all the stuff I need. 4 months...

    A Couple of Questions on Soap Dough

    What Amd said. If you do try it, be prepared to deal with the mess of your life. Ask me how I know, lol Oh the humanity.... If I add any fragrance, I do to it to the entire batch as you would for a "regular soap" batch. These days I only do unscented. Any scent associated with my soap...

    70% Rice Bran Oil soap

    Hmmm I just bought some Hemp Oil. I will give it a try. I wonder if Zany's no slime method with Faux seawater would make a difference when it comes to the slime fest. Off to the dungeon, I mean the soap room. Will try both with and without the faux seawater. I needed more things to test...
