Hi and welcome from a few Aussie! I'm in Perth now but originally from NSW/Vic. Also an essential worker over here :)

*cue deep narrator's voice-over* "And this was the moment where Primrose watched her meticulously layered ITPS, possibly the most beautiful one she'd ever achieved, in combat against an accelerating but delicious FO, become muddied and shredded to pieces when poured through a colander"...

Sign Up List: 1. Atiz. This looks like so much fun and I need some more excuse to make soap. 2. jcandleattic - this was going to be my next soap this week anyway, might as well enter it. 3. Misschief - been wanting to try this. Now, I have no excuse. 4. Bookreader451 - just note my results may...

In addition to the good advice given above, forget the vitamin E at trace, it won't achieve anything as it will just be saponified along with the rest. Unfortunately you cannot control superfat in cold process soap. Save the vitamin E for leave in products like lotions

Relle this is the place that I bought the bar off https://freerangeemufarm.com.au/new-products but yes it is definitely expensive.

This bar is unscented and it does have a particular smell (like all unscented bars do) and its different to my olive, coconut and castor bars. So I'm guessing its the emu oil component giving it that scent. However I dont find it offensive or even strong, just characteristic in the same way I...

Last September at an event I did there was a stall selling camel milk soap and a stall selling emu oil soap, so I swapped a bar of my goat milk soap with each of them. I actually then misplaced the emu oil soap and forgot all about it until earlier in the week when I stumbled upon it Oh my...

Holy crap that second one!!!

What is sulfur soap for? I've never heard of it

Now I haven't made my own MP or clear soap, so I can't comment on that part of the recipe but the first part is enough for me to say it's not a wonderful recipe. Firstly it says vegetable oil (lard, tallow) and those are animal fats. Secondly it gives the lye amount but lets you choose whatever...

Krystal perhaps you could post the recipe here for us, so we can get a more accurate answer to your question?

I found a little plastic colander in a reject shop or similar cheap shop

Thanks so much everyone, and @szaza for running an awesome challenge! @Jersey Girl I just love your butterfly and showing how you managed multiple colours has helped me figure out a design that was in my head but I didn't know how to accomplish it. So thank you and congratulations! Well done to...

Very pretty soap! Did you move the hanger in a circular fashion, as well as vertically up and down, and horizontally up and down? Looks like you've got some nice vertical movement but not much of the graduating circles

Look to be honest I went to do it, and for several of my soaps I had six or seven colourants in them, each with three, four or five ingredients. I honestly couldn't fit it on my labels ...

I jinxed myself when I said my soap usually hardens quickly. My soap was definitely too soft to carve but I managed to do one bar of each design and will do the others later. Here is my non entry

Here is my entry - still on the Alice theme, the Cheshire cat. I deliberately carved his design at different depths, so that when you use the soap, he slowly disappears starting from his head and finishing from his tail.

I'll be working on this right till the deadline .. . Just poured my base soap tonight. My recipe hardens pretty quickly so fingers crossed I can carve tomorrow or Saturday and just sneak in!

I particularly like this one hahaha

Yep I was saying the other day it would be inevitable and sure enough ...
