Central standard time earlene, sorry!

ATTENTION: I am closing the thread midnight tonight meaning any posts past midnight will not appear on the survey. The survey will open tomorrow morning (as soon as I'm up and sure all submissions are added that may have posted tonight). I pm'd all who signed up the password for the survey. If...

I don't think your oven is too hot fwiw. Mine only goes down to 170. I preheat and turn off. I then place in there. Difference is I only leave it in a few hrs, maybe 2-3 tops.

Nope, so long as you post it before midnight tonight, it is a valid entry:) Be sure to copy and paste the list of names adding yours to it if you want to enter.

Since I said it closes the 24th and didnt specify a time, if it posts before midnight (still technically the 24th), I will accept it. That being the case, I will upload the survey the morning of the 25th so I can add any last minute entries.

Carabou, I am so sorry I missed your question!! I sent you a pm.

I went ahead and opened the challenge early this month, but I am leaving it opened until Monday the 24th as opposed to opening on a Friday and closing the next Friday. Hopefully this gives people an extra couple days to finalize their soaps and pics etc. Have fun and be safe! Are you traveling...

Like your attempts earlene! The challenge thread was opened yesterday as an fyi. I can't wait to see what you made everyone!

Entries can now be submitted! Please post ONLY your entries on this thread. Any other comments/compliments or discussion should be left on the original challenge thread. Please post a picture of all your soaps from the batch along side the spoon you used and a pic of at least one bar of soap...

Never said THANK YOU for the well wishes. I really (REALLY) need them this year. Thank you to all that gave a tad bit of hope to me for the new year.

Since I received a pm and saw another contestant mention doing it on a different thread, I want to say using a discoloring fo as a color with plain batter/or a non discoloring fo does count as 2 colors. Someone asked me, and another I believe has also done it, so I wanted to clarify for all this...

That's correct. Same for any milk. Yes, fresh worked, frozen not so much lol. Good luck with your soap!

Oh my gosh, I had that!!! Couldn't pump because she rejected the hideous taste of the high lipase lol! Yeah, uh, nope. Good benefits will almost always get eaten by the lye monster. Now that said, no baby will probably like the high lipase flavor, blech, so milk donations probably aren't a good...

I *think* we have that one on our brainstorming list. It is something we have considered, but thank you all for showing interest in it! It helps a ton to see what participants would like to do as a challenge. Newbie mentioned to me, when I couldn't make up my mind for this challenge, doing an...

I love hearing your attempts! Today is my birthday, so forgive if I am a tad absent; it doesn't mean I am not checking in...show what you aren't submitting...can't wait to see what you've all made!

Ah I see. Still it's a neat look, even if it wasn't what you intended.

Newbie, did you use low water in your base and higher water TD? It looks a little like the 3D effect I get when I do. My failed spoon above that wasn't filmed has opaque edges and the top center looks more translucent with the gel from low high water combo.

I understand that dibbles (too thick)...if you could tell from the second video, it had gone quite thick on me. It wasn't a glop and plop, but it was way thicker than my emulsion or thin trace pours. I find thicker is better with spoon swirls (so long as you can avoid air pockets). I am hoping...
