Hopefully she has a swift recovery! I'm glad for you that the surgery went well.

I have been very low energy/low motivation lately, so I kept it simple today and made my hubby a mechanics' soap with some pumice and creamsicle fragrance. He and his co-workers have been washing their hands more than usual and their hands are starting to dry out quite a bit. With how long...

I think @TashaBird should consider doing a video? You genuinely have some of the best consistent results that I have seen with this method. You could probably teach us all a lot. :D

This was a really great challenge that I think everyone learned something from. Waaayyyy more difficult than expected but resulted in some amazing soap being made! Thank you @dibbles for hosting this, congrats to all that participated, and the soaps that made the top 3 were absolutely...

Thank you! I am also hoping it will resolve quickly.

There are some really gorgeous entries (and non entries as well!!!) I waited all month for supplies that were delayed, and then they eventually finally arrived this past Monday. My intentions were to make one or two attempts before cutoff but on the very same day that they arrived, life...

I am still waiting for my new supplies to arrive (ordered Aug 3rd) so I may or may not have one opportunity to attempt this again in time for the cut off. They were going to be here Friday...."out on truck for delivery".....then I got a message that they made a processing error and my delivery...

I just followed you. :)

I am really drawn to the one with the heart in it. Very cool!!

I believe you have some glycerine rivers in the white portion. Honestly, I think it adds to the design. Very nicely done!

It is surprising that she killed him after being together for years. Hopefully this introduction goes well and they adjust to one another quickly.

Is there a slow introduction necessary? Any chance that they will try to murder one another rather than accept sharing a tank in peace?

Thank you! I'm already thinking about what to try with the next one. :D

I imagine that they will develop it as they cure, but they are so perfect right now that I had to take a picture while they were still without ash. Can you steam them down the line like you can a regular bar of soap to remove the ash? Or might the ash actually accentuate the look? There are...

Seriously in love so far! The idea that I can make a soap and unmold it in hours is so perfect for my impatient side. There will for sure be more of these bars in my future! I think that the colour is wonderful for the scent as well. So happy!!! :dance: Thanks again everyone.

It looks REALLY pretty so the outer rind is a plus, but perm smell is ick. (i remember them well) Hopefully your rose scent comes back over time. No ideas on the reason for it happening though.

ok, yeah.....I am so in awe of the skill of some soap makers. It truly can be such art! I would hate to use these soaps as they are just so beautiful!

I wish I had an over abundance of zucchini. I was replacing some beds this year and unfortunately didn't get most of them replaced and so the zucchini and cucumbers got stuck in the shadiest part of the garden where the soil hasn't been as improved. Both are slow going and I am fighting...

I did just finish up my first attempt at salt bars. I went with the 80 coconut, 15 avocado, 5 castor. 30% lye solution made of full goats milk. 18% superfat. I did add some citric acid and enough lye to account for it. I went with equal amounts of lemon, litsea and peppermint (omg it smells...
