    SMF May 2021 Challenge - One Pot Wonder

    Entry thread? My brain is broken over what order to put my colors in the pot!! Lol. Anyone else struggle with this?? I write it down and have still done it backwards. 😱 ETA: when I couldn't get my gloves on this morning I should have just put everything away! I was on the front seat of the...

    SMF May 2021 Challenge - One Pot Wonder

    My daughter said the same thing about the starry night painting 🙂 I need to make a second one myself, it's "planned" but other things keep taking priority. Hopefully by this weekend. Good luck to you!

    SMF May 2021 Challenge - One Pot Wonder

    Here is my riced and accelerated soap from yesterday. I was unable to do the OPW into the pot so this is an in the pot plop! I did pour it into the mold in OPW style. I love all the cool swirls! The embeds are my homemade clear soap colored with yellow mica.

    SMF May 2021 Challenge - One Pot Wonder

    Well, I mixed a big batch of soap for my extra tall and skinny mold. The plan was to do a OPW in my gallon pitcher and add embeds made from my homemade clear soap. I know it's against the rules but I was/am going to post pics here just for fun. The FO riced and accelerated!!! So here it is in...

    Thank you! It's kinda cool even though I had wispy lines in mind. For all of them actually haha 🤣

    SMF May 2021 Challenge - One Pot Wonder

    Yep, same here! And it's totally more common to not get exactly what you thought when you cut it

    SMF May 2021 Challenge - One Pot Wonder

    Thank you Dibbles 🙂 you know how you have a certain thing in mind and they don't look like you thought, or like the video you followed? That's why I say "failed". I also thought the photos illustrated that although I poured these soaps into a pitcher and then into a mold in the OPW fashion...

    SMF May 2021 Challenge - One Pot Wonder

    I posted several pics, some were duplicates and I deleted them but I'm not sure all my pics made it. In some I had acceleration and ended up with different looks. It's interesting the same technique can result in so many different finished looks.

    First attempt is molded! Here are some of my previous "failed" OPW, NOT made for this challenge. I love the look of this technique and have tried to nail it for some time now.

    WSP Acquires Rustic & Elements

    Ahhhh well that makes sense. A little note letting me know would have been nice. I was thinking I ordered them that way 🤣

    WSP Acquires Rustic & Elements

    I ordered from RE and several items were out of stock even though they were in stock when I ordered, then my order came in a couple different shipments and different size bottles. Like I ordered 16 oz of a FO and got a 12 and a 4 oz bottle. I also HATE the new clear labels! They are super tiny...

    Short/Mini Immersion (Stick) Blender?

    Wow, sure wish I'd have seen that one. I paid 10 bucks more for the one I ordered and it will get here tomorrow, when I leave for a weeks vacation haha. I'll try it when I get back and keep this one in mind if it doesn't work out. Thank you!

    Short/Mini Immersion (Stick) Blender?

    If the bell is smaller and can fit in my smaller cups to mix colors that would be really nice. I did get a mini frother that is battery operated and it wouldn't mix once batter got past light trace. I had to order one that actually plugs in, those are pretty hard to find. But I'm watching...

    Short/Mini Immersion (Stick) Blender?

    I was intrigued by this adorable mini blender. I saw that you could order from Amazon UK and have it delivered to the US. You can even pay in USD. I clicked through the process and then clicked "pay in USD" expecting it to show me how much before I confirmed, but instead I actually placed the...
