Oh, that makes sense. I had dry blended into soap batter. But I think I may get a more certain incorporation by using it earlier. Thank you.

Wow, you all are a fount of information. Thanks. I've only gotten mica samples from Amazon as I'm just figuring out what I like. Do you mix your micas in oil, water, first or into your mix after trace?

I seem to get more color from micah in CP than the one HP I've done which came out very bland. But I'm new to all of this. My colors used to only be from spices I put in my CP. Branching out now

I'm glad you're on the upswing! :thumbs: Thanks for the Joom app info. I haven't tried stamping yet. But when I cut the day or two after pouring seems like my soap is pliable enough. But I keep trying different recipes so.... hard to tell. o_O

You can easily grow stinging nettle in a pot. It grows wild in the Carolinas. You don't want it in your yard, it's invasive and painful. No kidding right? We have it wild out here Cali , but rather than forage for it I bought a seedling at a herb nursery. I finally quit raising mine though...

Wow that looks great!

Well I'm so new I probably don't have enough posts to enter, but this looks fun so I 'm going to give it a try just for the experience.

I hope you feel better soon. Do you stamp right after the cutting? And where do you order stamps from? I'm running my tools that I used 2 days ago through the dishwasher a second time. All but some silicone molds which I hand washed last night. I didn't wash with any dish soap first time, my...

Thanks Meena. I'd appreciate it. What I think is partial is in the area where it's slighty darker in the cream color. I only have cream, and 2 pinks.

That's beautiful! I unmolded my first attempt at a hanger swirl and cut. Not happy with the pattern or bland color quality. I used mica coloring. It appears to have some areas that have partial gel. What do you think?

I see your cows too! :p The soaps do look like fatty steaks! I wonder if there is a way to process the tallow that will remove the odor?

Very pretty!

I really like the colors you put together.

I love the contrast you've achieved!

I like the look of your MP. I haven't tried MP yet. I want to get the hang of CP. I've only done CP off and on for a couple years but I've caught the soaping bug now!

I made soap yesterday, seemed to trace well. However today tried to remove from individual molds and it's still slightly soft and slightly sticky in the bottom center. I'll give it another day to firm and try again.

Ok. Thanks. I'm new to soaping. I've had a few very simple recipe sucesses. And recently had 2 batches that got away from me and had to rebatch. This is an interesting craft, so many variables.

Wow, I think both of those are beautiful Dawni. Do you wait for each layer to firm before pouring the next color?
