Wow, thinking I might have to go dig up some funnel-web spider nests from my property. I also have a lot of orb-weaver spiders around here (you know the ones that make those big round webs between trees that hit you in the face when you walk down the garden path!), but I would need to get up...

They look 10,000 times better than my first batch. What an awesome job 😍

Sorry, a bit off topic here with this question. If it is not appropriate to ask this question here then please let me know and I will post it separately onto the forum. Did you exchange all of your water with the wine? Did you do this as a hot process soap? I am having a lot of trouble with my...

My daughter and I played with some Stephenson's M&P Jelly soap the other day. We didn't really have a problem getting it to melt in the microwave in very small batch sizes, however we tried to make a 3 layer soap with each layer a different colour. We found that the soap sets up very fast and...

The extension tips are just the long part of a transfer pipette cut off from the bulb part. You just fit them over the tip of the squeeze bottle tightly, some people like to tape them with electrical tape but I was able to just push them on hard and they stayed there. I was careful when...

Yes, I actually found some at Aussie Soap Supplies. It would have taken me quite a while to create the design in CAD before I could have printed them anyway. However I will probably still end up designing some, just to add to the assortment that I now have. It will be much easier now that I...

So I am still pretty new to the craft of soap making. I recently purchased a soap design/pull-through tool and was keen as curry to make pull through designs just like the ones I have seen in videos and on this forum. My first attempt was a bit of a failure, but I learned a few things which...

Wow!! These look amazing!!! Do you extrude directly into the soap at the time or do you extrude at an earlier date and let it dry first?

Wow, every time I read stories like this it makes me glad I live in Australia where all of this is covered by our medicare levy that is part of our taxation system. However our dental is not yet included because, you know, dental isn't really health care.......................

Katie from Royalty makes hundreds, possibly thousands of loaves a year, her whole family is involved. I would say she owns a ton of molds, and they are the huge ones too!

Hey!! Another Aussie here. I have only been making soap since January so I'm also a beginner. We all have our ugly, blobby, air-pockety soap!! Here is my most recent UBAP (ugly, blobby, air-pockety). This one was a very ambitious attempt at a column pour gone wrong. Ended up being a scrape and...

Yes, I find the postage on Etsy to be crazy sometimes. I have decided to print my own little beveller and there are also some pull through designs I found that I can print as well. Will see how this one works

Yes, I am taking a supplement that contains biotin, selenium, zinc and copper as well as some other trace elements. The fur baby is Alan lol

I must admit, I do need to do 2 shampoos to get the castor oil out of my hair but I don't feel that it is harming my hair. I also have fine hair and because I haven't put colour in for the past 3 years it is now grey and was quite brittle and frizzy. After a month of using Moroccan Rosemary EO...

Thanks Rebecca, will certainly give this one a go :cool: Appreciate your contribution here I also have another question, do you not actually cook the rice? Do you just stir it around with your hands in the cold water for 30 minutes?

Looks great, but there are no quantities for the teas and the essential oils?

I have done a little research into hair loss as I suffer from androgenic alopecia which came upon me during menopause. I found a lot of people are using castor oil as a carrier oil and 3-4% Moroccan Rosemary EO (ct Cineole) for hair regrowth and strengthening. I use this 3 times a week in the...

We made this soap in April. We used 40% OO, 20% PO, 20% CO, 10% Coco Butter, 5% Castor Oil and 5% Sweet Almond Oil. We used Honey Myrtle, a stunning but rare-ish EO, 1 tspn ppo of kaolin clay and the same for TD. Also added 1 tspn (total) of icing sugar. I know it looks a bit creamy against the...

Ok, just found her on Etsy. She delivers to Aust through etsy but postage is almost $50 which makes it totally unaffordable :-(

So I just checked out the router on Wild Plantanica's web site. They don't deliver to Australia 😭
