    September 2022 SMF Soap Challenge – Hybrid soaps, pouring CP and MP together

    So I was not the only one struggling to keep the M&P fluid! 😂 I got so frustrated with it at some point that I just plonked it down on the CP batter. I thought it was because my M&P was handmade and honestly a bit old (which is why I was happy about this challenge and the chance to use it up)...

    Entry thread for the September 2022 SMF Soap Challenge - Hybrid soaps, pouring CP and MP together.

    My idea for this soap was to have a very dark CP base (activated charcoal) against the transparent handmade M&P diagonal lines, but as you can see it didn't exactly go as planned 😂 I prepared the CP batter, split it in 3 and worked one layer at a time. I had a very difficult time heating and...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I've been doing some prep work today to prepare for my first soaping session in my new apartment, hopefully tomorrow. Prep work as in, gluing pieces of cardboard together to fashion a mold divider (my previous one somehow got misplaced and lost in the move) and a slanted holder for my mold that...

    September 2022 SMF Soap Challenge – Hybrid soaps, pouring CP and MP together

    I've had a few things going on and I won't be able to soap until tomorrow morning but (fingers crossed!) I should still be able to meet the deadline. I won't look at the entries until after I've made my soap to prevent any soap fright 😂 This just got me thinking, is this to reduce the...

    Halloween soap stamping

    I agree with earlene, I think the slight faded black in some areas gives the impression of an ink stamp. Personally I love the result!

    Ciaglia Method

    I was interested in reading about it but for some reason the link doesn't work for me, I get a "not found" error. Is it still available?

    August 2022 SMF Challenge - Dual Swirl Techniques in one Soap

    Congratulations to the winners! I'm getting my soapy fix by looking at everyone's stunning soap in the entry thread. This was an interesting challenge and, even if I was not able to join, I loved seeing everyone's work!

    Star Trek Soap!

    I'm just so impressed with your soap. It's fantastic. All the details! Loving it.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    My tiny soaping thing today was starting to unpack some soap bars after the move and pondering which one should I use first in the new apartment. Little joys!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    My soapy thing today is catching up on the forum and daydreaming of the next soap once I unpack all my boxes after the move. I'm definitely planning a mica line one. And also, daydreaming about my future soap area/room: I signed my new apartment contract today and, to my surprise, the contract...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    My soapy thing today was packing up all my soap supplies. I'm moving soon and tried to be extra careful to pad everything as much as I could, hopefully everything will ship ok. So while I'm relieved to have one less pack on my list, I'm quite bummed that I won't be able to unpack my soapy things...

    SMF April 2022 Soap Challenge - Straight Line design

    I'll join the others and confess I hadn't the slightest idea that you meant a tool and not the actual Cheshire Cat! I read your whole post managing to ignore all the clues, imagining your cute Cheshire Cat-themed soap with the colours from the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland, and I went as far...

    Natural Moon & Stars Soap

    I think your design works really well with the Tall and Skinny mold, it definitely gives a sense of sky height. Loving all the details.

    Show us your work space!

    I like your idea of adding a protective layer (made of plastic I guess?) under your soaping area for any spills. It seems really easy to clean as you go. I use some old sheets doubled up to protect my table, but when some batter spills I can't really clean the fabric until I wash it. I might...

    A new hobby

    They are gorgeous! I like how the wire is ribbed or twisted in some areas to add movement. Just for the sake of curiosity, do you need a set of tools? Or is it done with just the one tool?
