    SMF October 2021 challenge - butterfly hanger swirl

    This is my problem as well and have been hesitant to sign up! But I do love a beautiful swirl. And thinking and planning this soap for the last week has helped me visualize my swirl. Now I just need to work on my math and percentages of splitting the batter! I’m going extra again… it seems to...

    confetti soap question

    When I did stars in a galaxy soap, I used old light colored soap shavings that were already shredded and dry. Then I chopped 'em up in my food processor for smaller bits! It turned out pretty cool, but I didn't use as much as I actually needed, so my stars in space were kinda scarce. Something...

    In my head I heard the bad "F-ing" word, that's how my brain translated.... I didn't go for an official translation!

    Soap Art

    I was so thinking about this with my Sunrise soaps for the challenge a couple months' ago when I saw this: Tree Marie Soapworks and there was another Youtube I saw with the 4 pane window frame in the soap and a cat sitting in the window, but I can't find it. :( I was pretty impressed! Good luck...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Yep! My funnel spout is a little longer than normal, I think! Plus, I like to see how the pouring is going! I just can't stand the extra work to use the squeeze bottles and anytime I do the batter seems to thicken quicker. But that was before I became more comfortable with my recipe and soaping...

    anyone ever use Black Nebula carrot puree in a soap?

    That is something I'd love to see! Definitely following this post. What do they taste like? I'm so curious. If it were me, I'd try out the canning water as replacement water first, just to see if the color is affected by the lye. I wouldn't want to waste those beautiful carrots!

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    There is not one bar of this soap that I do not LOVE! this is my new favorite pull-through plate! Each bar is perfect front and back! Top to bottom. Sometimes I worry because I begin with pouring through a funnel and then halfway switch to free pouring. And I can tell where I switched. Not this...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I had to document this before I scraped the rest of the batter into the mold. I couldn’t waste that last 1/4” of soap! But still, this pull-through! I can’t wait to cut it!!!! 😬😜😁 It’s soooo much clearer it person!

    DO NOT drop your red mica!!!

    I once dropped a container of yellow mica waiting to be mixed with batch oil onto the floor. It was only 2 teaspoons but it gained momentum on its way to the floor and reached every crack and crevice it could find. I'm still cleaning it out of hidden places. PS... does your paper towel holder...

    I think that's a sign!!! Just Kidding!!! 🤪 :oops: Yep! as soon as I paid for the order and got a notification for my payment to WSP! I was instantly disappointed. And I'm not too impressed with the FO I got with that order. It has a very strong chemical smell OOB. So we will see how a soap...

    Kaolin Clay Recipe Help!

    If I want my micas to stay true and bright I don’t add kaolin clay. I do find it gives mica a pastel color. Also adding more mica to compensate may also contribute to acceleration. So something to think about.

    Soap Issue?

    I also use batch oils or water to mix additives when they are still warm usually. I like to think they mix better that way. 😁 Umm…. How much total FO did you put in. I for instance most always use 3% of my batch oil. So for you recipe I would use 1.3oz of FO (3% of 43 oz) Most FO safe usage is...

    I placed an order with WSP last night I wanted to try ROE and well I love their kits if I wanna try out a new B&B product. Plus I just went Willy nilly through the additives and ordered a few things I found interesting and useful! I do like WSP, I just get anxious ordering from them. That is a...
