Yes I could watch her videos all day. She makes everything look so simple. And her voice really is calming. @ResolvableOwl Thanks for the info you sent as well. I added the indigo to a small amount of OO like I do with my micas. I had that weird gray color Holly had, so I added more in a bit of...

Thanks @Zing! I’m glad to be back. Making soap for friends and family for the holidays. I’m very happy with being able to replicate the swirling technique. I would like to tweak the colors next time. I will have to read up some more on indigo. I just thought I would get a nice denim blue...

I made this batch of soap following Oh Yvonne’s video. I’m very happy with the swirl, but a bit confused with the color. The main area is colored with indigo. The side that was exposed turned pink. Will the rest of the blue soap turn pink now that it’s cut? Or is this one of those magic tricks...

I cut the soap in my slab mold and love the results. The soap in the mold was 2”, so I cut it in half on the horizontal. The colored batter didn’t make it all the way through the white batter, so it looks as though I made 2 separate batches. I really like both looks. I will probably play around...

It’s a slab mold.

Maybe it has been said before, but what the heck with BB’s disappearing ink? Every label fades so I don’t know what color mica I’m using, what fragrance oil is in the bottle, what base oil, etc. etc. I find this really frustrating.

I actually have been making soap again!! 🎉 I can’t wait for this soap to harden enough to unmold, cut and plane it. I’ve made a few other batches and will try and put up some photos. Glad to be back in the proverbial saddle again!

Gorgeous!

Gaffer’s tape sticks really well on dry surfaces. I think it would stay put even when it gets wet. It just doesn’t adhere to a wet surface.

My soapy thing has been catching up on about a month of posts here. Missed you guys. Been feeling Covid crappy and haven’t done much of anything. I don’t have Covid. Just the low-level angst we are all dealing with. And a giant smooch to whichever amazing person suggested putting the jar of EO...

I actually like the pink and black bathrooms, although the aqua ones from the same era are my favorite. My grandparents had an aqua one in mint (haha) condition. You guys are making my day. I’m inspired by the beautiful (or should I say fancy? 😋) soap I see you do. I aspire to swirl greatness..

Cut my soap. I colored it with pink clay and activated charcoal. I forgot to add the eo, but it wouldn’t be one of my soaps if I didn’t screw something up. 🙄 Fortunately I used cocoa butter and it smells lovely despite my best efforts. The colors remind me of the pink tiled bathrooms from the...

My soapy thing was catching up on pages and pages of this thread. It’s been so long since most of you posted that I couldn’t really reply. However, I’m dying to know the verdict on the rhubarb pie. And @KiwiMoose I wish we were neighbors so I could take some of the passion fruit off your hands...

Thanks everyone. I bought a bottle from Camden Grey. Was thinking of making a batch today to try it out.

Thanks you guys! I really appreciate the quick replies. I will do some comparison shopping with all this new info.

Hi gang, Thought I would ask where you get (and what brand) your lavender eo. I finally ordered a 16oz bottle and am very disappointed in it. It’s made by Sun Essentials (purchased on Amazon). It accelerates like mad, which I don’t remember happening with whatever lavender I had used before. And...

After some not so stellar soaps, I've decided to step back and simplify things. I made an itp swirl and a drop swirl. Both came out well. I might even do a solid color. Gasp. Trying to follow the KISS theory of keeping it simple. Your friend will like the soap and even though it isn't what you...

Are you a Steelers fan?

Since this is my first time using a lotion bar I'm probably not that well versed. It had cocoa butter, which smells dreamy. They are a little hard, so was thinking that this might be a better recipe to make when it's warm. It takes a bit of rubbing/dragging to get it on my skin. However, once I...

My daughter likes the scent in Dream Cream. Does anyone know if there’s a dupe fo available? I looked on NS and nothing seemed right.
