Well it is bad. Elbow still swollen starting to bruise. Cramping from bicep to forearm. Can barely use fingers. Still cant bend my arm, open anuthing like a jar. I'm going to go to an orthopedist and have them MRI it. I'm almost 100% certain I tore ligaments in my elbow pretty bad. When I first...

You know I thought long about that while making the challenge. Yes it counts. I made a soup for a challenge a while back that had pink and black as the accents and white as the main color. I use silver glitter on top. That would disqualify because that would be a fourth color. You could...

First off I am so sorry for not responding sooner. I injured my arm pretty badly last night and found myself at the ER all morning and afternoon today. Yes, all of those things I showed you would qualify. That's what's going to make this challenge hopefully fun. You don't have to just swirl, you...

Yes! A two toned soap with part of it a water discount, and part not, would count as 2 colors. 3 is the max. Add a colorant in and you could have 3 hypothetically, but 2 colors are fine (as is only 1) . So long as it maintains a simple swirl and not 100% through your soap, busy, like my hanger I...

My videos aren't showing up in the thread, click the link...I'm trying to work on it. Sorry guys! Edit, I tried like 5 times. I even used the web link instead of a direct paste which I did the first time. It won't load onto the thread automatically. I'm at a loss, sorry!

Sign up sheet 1.

And 1 more! Yeah, overboard, but I wanted a wide variety of ideas since this challenge is more ambiguous.

More coming lol...

More examples...and I've got some more, give me a sec...

Welcome to October's 2017 SMF Soap Challenge! Please read first ***Before signing up, please give me a moment to post examples of soaps in subsequent responses. I have several examples of things that would qualify for this challenge and will have to post many responses to show you (since...

Yeah, staph infection is "natural" as in found in nature lol. Thx! It's been a year since I made lotion. I'll look into optiphen plus now! :)

On the question of optiphen, I use it in my lotion. I haven't made lotion in quite some time, but if I recall correctly, it needs to be added below a certain temperature, requires a certain ph range, and can seperate some different products. I've never had problems with it in my lotion, however...

I use cellophane (saran wrap) to cover mine for about 3 to 5 days after unmolded and cut. Of course I cut in less than 12 hrs, but if I use higher water and have to wait longer, then I cover in mold as well as afterwards. I turn them upside down too so any ash will not ruin my tops. Beyween...

Well, BB uses (usually) the trinity of 33% each of CO, palm/animal fats (usually palm), and olive oil. Sometimes they switch it up with specialty oils (that they sell lol). Personally I've eliminated olive oil and replaced it with sweet almond oil, and recently tried a substitute of avocado oil...

OK. I'm not going to give it away, but a hint for October. Think simple, elegant, and use a delicate hand. I also trolled pinterest yesterday to give ample examples of this challenge. It should be easy enough for beginners and fun for vets of soaping (hopefully). My main problem was trying to...

Thx, I think it finally worked back in. It slipped last Friday and it always is about a week to go back. Sure enough yesterday was back appx 80%, and so far (fingers crossed), I feel pretty darn good this morning. I filmed an intro yesterday and am ready for a couple soaps for the challenge. I'm...

Too funny. I'll call them now. Thx!

You and me both lol!

Update: I think it had all just copied into the Google photos. It never synced it. I went through my settings and made sure syncing was turned on. It was turned on while charging only, and it charges every night, but it was not syncing it. So when I turned off sync while charging only, it...

That's smart. Maybe. Looking into it. So mad at myself for acting hasty.
