    Entry thread for SMF January 2023 Challenge – Pick a Color, Any Color

    I did indeed manage to get my 1 and only attempt made. No planing as it's still quite soft, but it's done! This entire soap was planned by my 10 year old daughter. She chose M&M Ancient Incense for the scent and tried to match design and color with it. I kept the math simple 😆 NS Shimmer Gold...

    Can I cure soap in a sealed container?

    You will need airflow for curing. How long ago did you make it? Scents usually calm down some during cure. I leave mine in open containers for 6 weeks minimum, but ymmv.

    Soap cutter

    You don't have to match molds and cutters up, they all work the same way. I love my multi-bar cutter from Nurture Soap. I bought the 9" and while it requires an extra cut for longer loaves, it's no big deal and is quick. I'd definitely buy it again, along with my Caterpillar...

    Mx5inpenn's Soapy Mis/Adventures 2022

    Thank you! That design was done at thick trace with a scraper tool. I have several 3d printed ones that I've played with, but that one had the best results.

    More fall and holiday soaps. I always plan to post things as I go, but you know what they say about good intentions.

    I'm so sorry for your loss @Zany_in_CO but am glad you had time the time together to bring you peace.

    How do you cut your soap?

    I also had a cheap wire cheese cutter for a long time. It worked, but was far from perfect. I also have a Bud log splitter. Now I have a multi-bar slicer and just got a Caterpillar that makes me giddy.

    November 2022 Challenge Entry Thread - Trees

    I better post my entry now before I forget. I had hoped to make another batch, but that is not gonna happen, so here it is... This is made in a regular mold and cut horizontally. I used 2 shades of green poured into toilet paper rolls and a light blue with fine white shreds for the rest. It's...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I took pictures (finally!) of a bunch of soaps, mostly holiday ones, and posted some here. I'll add more later. I also stocked holiday soaps at the salon and added a bunch of new FOs to my Aztec cart. The Black Friday sale is perfect for testing new scents!

    Mx5inpenn's Soapy Mis/Adventures 2022

    Aurora - was to be my challenge club splash swirl entry, but I entered in the bonus category instead. Smell the Rainbow - remake of one of my best sellers. This was my 1st splash swirl attempt and looks more like a regular hanger swirl. Pomander - this was made last month, for the laminar...

    Too many different scents to choose from?

    I am no help, but am following because I am also in the too many scents boat. I lugged 42 types to my last fair, 12 of which are fall/winter/holiday specific. I did sell a wide variety and am still remaking the staples, but at some point that's likely to change with so many options right? I have...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    I cut the 3 batches I made yesterday. A splash swirl challenge club attempt, a remake also done as a splash swirl, and a tree soap for the monthly challenge here. I made sure I chose a horizontal cut swirl for the tree soap so I could test my Caterpillar. I am in love. 😍
