    What soapy thing have you done today?

    They look great. Wonder if your guests will think it is an artistic display rather than soap.

    A picture of ricing, volcanos, separating, overheating

    Really a good idea to post these pictures. I did not know what any of these looked like when I began my soaping journey (before the internet). Sadly, I have a number of these things happen to me too. I didn't know how to resolve the problems; even though I purchased several books, it seemed as...

    My first soap making attempt :-)

    Yes, white sugar. Add it to the water and make sure it is dissolved before you add the lye. You can use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of sugar per pound (16 ounces) of oils, I usually use about 1/2 teaspoon per pound of oil.

    My first soap making attempt :-)

    I love your cheese analogy. I looks pretty. You can add sugar for more bubbles; however it does make the soap heat up, I do like the soaps that I have used sugar in. You could also try Castor oil, about 5 to 7 percent to increase the bubbles. It will help you get rich creamy lather. There...
