    Monsters

    These are gorgeous! I'm loving all the details. I'm curious to ask, how did you create the eye shape for Mike's eye? Is it all soap dough? That makes two of us 😁 I can't say they are my favourite ones, but definitely in my top 10!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    This is brilliant, love this idea! 😁 My soapy thing today was finally making that dish soap I've seen on a YouTube video and wanted to try. It has baking soda and coffee grounds, and I've used some of the used rapeseeds oil I've got saved up to try and recycle. I did a very small batch just to...

    Caterpillar soap cutting station

    Not @AliOop , but I just remembered that I've seen this in a video I watched recently from Tree Marie Soapworks. It looks great:

    Christmas 2021

    I was wondering if there was already a Christmas-themed thread on the forum for this year - and I wasn't disappointed! I found this video mind-blowing (for my soaping level which is way more at a beginner stage), such a good inspiration for Christmas soaps:

    Juniper and Citrus

    Loving the colours of your soap, the end result is so cheerful! I'm going to watch the video next as this is something I'd definitely like to try 😬

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I've been living vicariously through the forum's soapy adventures, as I've been visiting my family for six weeks and, while I was so happy to finally be able to meet them, I missed being able to make soap! I handed over some soaps and I'm curious to hear what the family thinks of it. I had one...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    This is brilliant and makes my Italian soul very happy! 😂 My soapy thing of today is that I made a couple of 100% coconut oil, 0% SF unscented bars that I use as stain remover bars.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Just googled nigella seeds as I wasn't sure what they are (one new thing learnt today, check). You're right, the shape is definitely closer! But I'm worried that they might be too large/scratchy as you say.

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Thank you. I've been wanting to try a watermelon soap for quite some time now but I'm the same about the seeds, can't decide if to go with poppy seeds or to try my hand to make embeds/soap dough.

    They are so cute! If you don't mind me asking, what are the black spots? Poppy seeds?

    Loving the shape of this soap!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I tried @Zany_in_CO's 67% Shea butter recipe, it's now resting before the cut - as usual, waiting for the cut is the hardest part! Since I consider this to be quite a luxurious recipe for the high Shea butter content, I had this picture saved as inspiration for the light dusting effect on the...

    Sea Buckthorn Moon Cakes

    The soaps are so lovely, both in colour and shape, great molds! And thank you for sharing the video! I have a small quantity of buckthorn oil that I've been wanting to use for a small test soap, and I will definitely take inspiration from your recipe 🙂

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    My soap thing of the day was checking on my pine inspired soap. I'm curing a few bars under a thick cotton cloth and the others under a cardboard box (so they are in the dark) to preserve the botanical green colour, and at 2 weeks I think I can see a slightly difference! The ones under the box...

    Rescue bunnies multiplied

    I'm catching up on this thread and starting from the first post, I thought they couldn't get any cuter, but they proved me wrong, they are getting cuter by the day! Those chubby bellies and paws!

    Well, I bought a...

    Really curious to see your experiments with it! Fun fact: my partner is toying with the idea of buying it too (he works in the 3D field) and his latest argument in favour of the purchase was, quote: "...just think of all the soap stamps we could create!" 😂

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    This is so beautiful, I'm really loving it. It looks like a watercolour painting. All the botanical colour goals! I've been wondering how effective the light blocking should be to preserve the colours best. Is a light cotton enough? Or should it be totally in the dark, like under a cardboard...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Thank you for the encouraging words! I think I imagined it turning out differently (more spaced out across the length), but I'm putting on my rose-soap-tinted glasses now. I do like that it is consistent! Thank you earlene, I never thought to cover it twice so that I don't need to replace it...
