    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    That is what I saw too, second and last pics, I think, although I did find the sheep, the eye and what more looked like to me a fox profile, lemurs are pretty ....well, they just look like they been hittin' the shrooms...

    Christmas 2015

    If someone gets a gift from me this year they pretty much know what it is going to be. I think I will put together little baskets this year. Except for at work. They get a big basket to fight over.

    Official entry thread: SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    My official entry: I used .5 Oz. Turkish Mocha as my discoloring FO in the bottom portion of the soap. The FO is doing it's thing to color the bottom of the soap. It is separated by a thin gold mica line (hard to see, sorry) and the top is scented with .3 oz. of Peppermint Essential oil, 1st...

    Selling Soap Making Supplies

    I purchase from all over the place, and I try to wait until I have as big of an order as I can make until I buy from one place, because of- you guessed it- shipping. My main bulk oils are coconut and olive that I order online. Seems like buying those at the grocery store would be much more...

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    I would looooove for the date to be extended. I've lost my phone, which I need in order to take pictures (Also have lost my camera, I HATE fibro fog!!!!) So once I find my phone (It's been gone 2 days now) and charge it, and can get the pics up. I'll be good. Hopefully it turns up soon. My...

    Becoming frustrated by my lack of proper tools...

    And because I give so much away, this person or that will kick down 10 or 20 or whatever for the supplies needed if they request a batch. My daughter bought my Crock pot for me as a present, so if you have anyone around you who still gifts (it is just one daughter, BF and I, here) you can...

    My September Rants, 2015

    Rant 1: So, I smoke. Yes, it's horrible. Bash if some of you will, but it's my only bad habit, besides too much coffee. I'll quit (again) eventually. I roll my own smokes, with the filter papers and a nice roller. That way, I can still afford my awful habit. My rant? After I have cut...

    Newbie here

    She beat me to lard. Sigh. Lard. Insert. Dreamy. Face. Here. That is all.

    Finding time to soap now that the holiday orders are coming in...

    Those are sooo cute! Are you familiar with Irish crochet? It's horribly time consuming and probably not saleable but as a hobby it's such beautiful work. I stepped into that a couple of years ago, along with Romanian Point Lace and Tatting, and then knitting just a few months ago. I grasped...

    Sodium hydroxide U-Do Drain Cleaner

    I haven't. I order from The Lye Guy. Where do you live? He and I both are in America. I know lots of posters here aren't in America, so someone nearer to you may be able to help better if you tell us where you are. Otherwise, I personally am leery of drain cleaners and won't use them. Someone...

    Lining slab mold question

    Lol NA seriously you had to see the wrinkles in the loaf pic. I have been nagging my fella for a planer. Hopefully there will be one under the Christmas tree. Things will be tight probably until next summer though, then we won't know what to do with ourselves. I've never had any issues...

    Mad Oils vs Bramble Berry Colorant Quality?

    I have been eyeing Mad Oils for awhile now myself, but they are a bit pricey and with our rough patch the last few months, I have held off. I've made my several sample mica and oxide packs stretch a really long way, coupled with a few jars of this or that and a good amount of activated charcoal...

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    Thank you all for the compliments! I am a fancy topper because I was a hobby cake decorator, and I helped a very good friend of mine who did it as a side business for a few years. I know I've said I had to give it up because of the fibro, and being able to do it again some with soap just tickles...

    Lining slab mold question

    I use parchment paper for the time being, just because I have about 5 rolls of it. It does wrinkle, but if you have a planer you can just shave those wrinkles off. (I don't have a planer.) I either use a peeler or a knife and just do the best I can. It's not a perfect solution but mine aren't...

    Hi, My Name Is Patrick And I'm A FOHO

    Totally a FOHO, at least as much as I can afford. We've hit a bit of a rough spot financially these last few months so I have had to cut down a bit, and I decided the next wad of cash needs to go to colors, since I have a whole cabinet shelf full of FO's. 16 Oz bottles line a whole two rows, 8...

    Monthly Rant: September, 2015

    I giggled so much when I read this. Misery loves company, you know. The 67 year old teen was the best part, although I relate most with the teens, having just raised three to adults and got them all booted this last year. 'His idea of staying out of the kitchen'...LOLOLOL.Making you stop your...

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    Skayc, your last soap picture looks like you have a cherry right in the middle of the soap. That is so neat looking!

    SMF Soap Making Challenge: September Discoloring FO

    Here is what mine looked like when I unmolded it late last night, and then when I cut it this morning. It's trucking right along! I have to say I'm happy enough with it. I could pick...my mica lines need to be thicker, but it will do. It was much straighter this time though! Yay! I hope to...

    Wall pour

    With a little more manipulation (or luck) these could be made to look like a tornado touching down in a stormy sky. How very cool would that be? These are amazing!
