    SMF February 2022 Challenge - Ocean-Inspired

    Good point! I'm also curious to read what everyone else is using. I'll be using up some micas leftover from previous soaps (but I just checked the label on my deep blue mica and it has some oxides in it!). I'd love to try with indigo the next time

    This soap looks gorgeous! Did you use charcoal powder? if so can I ask how much you used?

    Wondering about embed soaps staying unexpectedly compact?

    Thank you @DeeAnna for your thoughts! I forgot to mention it in the original post, the white soap is a trasparent soap (gone wrong and turned opaque instead) mainly made up by extra virgin coconut oil. I also find it interesting that the different rate of wear is noticeable.

    Wondering about embed soaps staying unexpectedly compact?

    I've made just one or two embed soaps so far and my general understanding from reading on the forum and my limited experience is that they will eventually split apart where the different pieces are connected. So it was much to my surprise that I realised today that two of my embed soaps are...

    Baby goats to Brighten Your Day

    Thank you! It makes much sense.

    Baby goats to Brighten Your Day

    I know nothing of goats so excuse me if this is a naive question, but I'm much intrigued, is this linked to their diet then?

    Additives that look like stars in a Galaxy soap

    I'm watching the series now for the first time and it's so enjoyable! It's really fun. I'm a bit late to the thread but when I was researching galaxy themed soaps I came across this video where the soaper added some galaxy sparkling effect on the outer side of the soap by using some mica mixed...

    SMF January 2022 Challenge - There's No Place Like Home

    I won't be able to join either as I ran out of time after returning home this week after a while. I still plan to do the soap at some point, even if it isn't the same if I'm not participating in the challenge. But at least that means I won't have to wait any longer to look at the entries thread...

    SMF January 2022 Challenge - There's No Place Like Home

    Oooh I like this prompt! I had to change my plans due to COVID and will be staying a bit longer with family but away from my soaping tools, I'll try to plan now and I hope to have some time after the 23rd to squeeze in a January soap before the deadline!

    December Un-Challenge - Retry

    I know, those whitish halo blobs keep me scratching my head. I can only think that the ombre was done from the top right corner, so if the white blobs are mini swirl or column embeds I can't figure out the logistics of it as it would need to be done from a different angle I guess? Unless there's...

    December Un-Challenge - Retry

    So, I have done my retry challenge and, much to my amusement and frustration, it was half a success and half a fail! I need to work on this one haha. So this is the soap that I wanted to recreate, a beautiful Christmas soap by ellbin_soap: This is my third attempt, so technically a re-retry -...

    Beautiful soaps! I especially like the colours of the first one, so summer-y.

    Soap in use

    But this is brilliant, no one is going to find themselves under the shower with no soap! (Thinking about a true story happened to a friend...) My soap in use from the bathroom sink - this is a save soap made with leftover batter and leftover embed, i always hope it won't split but alas, here it...

    Love to share my designs and welcome constructive feedback

    Welcome! Your soaps are really amazing and inspiring. I especially love the fish one with the trasparent soap, I remember that one from the September Challenge on the Soap Challenge Club. I also joined that one and at the time of voting your entry was an immediate "this has my vote!" for me. So...

    2022 (too soon?) Soap Making Goals.

    Not too soon I think 😁 For me it's learning how to use plant colorants! Very much inspired by @Vicki C 's thread and I have Jo Hauslauer book to study.
