Made a loaf of soap, but i'm beginning to think the Monkey Fart FO is bringing bad luck. Power randomly went out, so I had the bright idea that I could still make soap with some battery lights on. Everything all set up, go to pour the lye in and clued in that power is essential for a stick...

The FO is from Nature's Garden. It's my first time using it, but it soaped nicely. It says it discolours, so I removed some batter before adding the FO for the piping. I used a vanilla stabilizer to hopefully stop the uncoloured batter in the remainder of the soap from going too dark so I have...

Hi everyone, I have just started using biodegradable (Biolefin) perforated shrinkwrap. The website says that it allows scent to pass through the film. I personally don't smell too much once packaged, but I don't have a very sensitive nose. I was wondering how other people stored their...

Had a mixed soaping day today. Went to make a double batch of a brightly coloured soap using "Monkey Farts" FO, everything was going beautifully, but the batter wasn't setting up to do the piping I had planned. Came to realize that I doubled the oils, but didn't double the lye water. Doh! So...

Tried my hand at shrinkwrapping. I'm going to need a LOT of practice!

Impatiently tracking my mica shipment from Nurture and making a list of the soaps I want to make. I've been watching too many soap videos lately, the list keeps growing for all the fun things I want to try.

Ok, here goes posting a picture of my soap for the first time! Eek! I had a miscalculation in my loaf size in Soapmaker so I ended up with too little batter. So my bars are much shorter than I wanted and the embeds look huge.

Hello and welcome from a fellow Ontarian!

Just finished a Halloween soap scented with "Bite Me" and topped with vampire fang embeds, and a mango madness loaf. And of course created another huge pile of soapy dishes...

I made some deodorants today. I ran out and had to use some commercial until I had time to make more and it really made me realize how much I love my homemade ones! Changed up my recipe hoping to make them harder and am really excited to see how they turn out.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! @Liesel Atwood, I've ordered from New Direction Aromatics, Windy Point, and Voyageur Soap & Candle the most. Windy Point has been great with the free shipping for some stuff, especially lye, but it can take awhile to get items since i'm so far away...

Hi everyone! I decided it's about time I stop being shy and introduce myself. I'm from Ontario, Canada. I've been making CP soap for a little over a year now, and some other bath and body products as well. I'm dipping my toes into selling, and have done a few craft fairs so far. I'm also in...
