    Your First Thought on My Logo

    Many people are feeling "duped" by my logo, and that wasn't my intent. My intent was to see if anyone saw Dove Soap (it's actually a beauty bar) and they didn't (an I didn't want you to), and to see if they saw pure and gentle, which they did. Once people look at my product I can "sell" them...

    Your First Thought on My Logo

    I want to give a like to each person that posted, but if I remember correctly I only have a certain number of "likes" I can use each day and I'm afraid if I run out I'll offend someone. I appreciate the candid response from everyone. I also recognize that if I wanted a consumers opinion of...

    Would be fun to try, but would like a good recipe!

    Most of my personal soaps have oatmeal and honey. I use various milks and infusions in place of the water. Freeze the milk and add your lye to the frozen milk (there are Youtube videos on it). My recipe is a variation of the Nerdy Farm Wife's (plug your recipe into soap calc if you change the...

    Making your own body oils?

    I make a body butter and use it in the shower. It keeps my skin soft. Because I use it in the shower the oil does not get on my clothes. I use coconut oil (76 degrees) and cocoa butter, unscented. I like to add a citrus EO in summer. I only use a small amount of coco butter so the...

    Favourite soap size

    When I decided to make soap as a donation to the church I gave it (size of bar) some thought. A few days ago I just did what I wanted and went with the mold, my mood, and the position of the planets :roll:. I made soap to control the products I put on body and really didn't care if it was the...

    Please take a look at my updated Pinterest page and tell me what you think.

    I really like your boards. The only thing, and I'm guessing it has to do with the size of my laptop screen, but when I look at the titles I mostly see a lot of mayamade, and not the actual textual content of the board. It took me awhile to find the soaps. I suspect a person using a tablet...

    SMF Soap Challenge August - Inverted Stamping

    I was searching for ideas and found a few. The criss-cross idea was in my head -- maybe I saw it before because the pics show it how I pictured it. I really like the soft colors. I'm usually not a fan of swirls but this... Seeing all the pretty swirls on SMF has made me a convert :-D

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    My husband is used to seeing my plain Jane soap. I put a little more natural color across the top and a few oats. I cut it and put it on the counter. He thought I made cheesecake. The man obviously needs to wear his glasses, but I decided to mess with his appetite and put a bunch of soap on...

    SMF Soap Challenge August - Inverted Stamping

    It's a good thing I can buy shaped paperclips for a couple dollars. I know I wouldn't have the patience -- after a few minutes I would decide the paperclip was "modern art" -- my term for bend it, break it, and give it a name that sounds better than "manufacturing defect". I have some napkin...

    Swirl tutorial??

    I was looking through the photos at the original swirls and colors. The soap is too pretty to use, it should be framed :) Very talented people who have any eye for spacial balance, color, design, and the experience to bring an idea to life. Awesome, very cool.

    Browsing soap pics

    Beautiful, stunning works of art. They need a picture frame, not a soap dish ;)

    Free Windows 10

    Regarding PW sign in, apparently 10 has "Windows Hello"; sign in with face, finger or eye. I haven't used it because I just heard about it. I'll have to check it out. I usually disable my camera when at home, but it may work for others.

    Wrapping for gifts....oil stain possibility?

    I do like the soap IrishLass wrapped in the decorative paper and it is very reasonably priced. Hahaha :lolno: canning jars and bars of soap. Although, when you said that I thought about a bar of soap fitting easily in a wide mouth jar. I think I'll try it to see if it does. I went to an...

    SMF Soap Challenge August - Inverted Stamping

    I haven't read any of the posts in previous contests so I was surprised that everyone here is sharing. It isn't cut throat competitive and I like that. Everyone is kind. I'm guessing most of you have seen Paperclip Art. There are some really cool paperclips but they have to be ordered from...

    Free Vintage Reproducible Label Art

    I've used this page many times and I love the free reproducible art. Children were often used to sell soap -- representing purity?? Here are a few samples:

    If you could only have one FO, what would it be??

    My favorite soap and body butter is Lemon, then Orange - citrus in general. For my shampoo, coconut. My laundry/linens, lavender. I do like expensive perfumed body lotions -- I have a load of favorites there.

    What do you like about your body, for no reason?

    So many cute posts. For me it is my soul/heart, and when I'm running low on tolerance and forgiveness I'll go with my brain/logic :) None of my body parts can make me a good person, and none of my body parts can think for me. My mom lost her sight and hearing, my husband lost a limb and it...

    Who has the best price for molds? Or should I build my own?

    When Joann's or Michael's has a coupon for 50% off one regular priced item you can get silicone molds really cheap. They are one of the few things that aren't perpetually on sale which makes a "regular price" coupon invalid. You can probably get one of those coupons now by visiting their web site.
