    Data tracking each batch of soap made

    Thanx!! I really do need to start keeping better records, I will start to forget! Thus far I have been taking a screenshot of the recipe followed by a photo of the soap.

    Mica swirling in clear MP

    Ahhh!!! Me too, well a vision anyway!! I've a feeling there is a reason it's not done! All the more reason I'm going to try it, provided there is no outward, obvious reason that I shouldn't!

    Mica swirling in clear MP

    Hmmm... so alcohol as OPPOSED to glycerin! Interesting, I feel another experiment coming on!! It's premature, as I haven't ordered the MP yet, but real soon! I have a week to research. As per everything in my life, I'm backwards! Starting with hp, going to cp, then mp!

    Mica swirling in clear MP

    Do you mean mix first (glycerin) and then dilute with alcohol?

    Mica swirling in clear MP

    Funny, the top lavender one was the closest I could find for the effect I'm looking for. I'm hoping to use a a light lab color to keep it translucent, and swirl micas into it. Somebody MUST have done this!

    Mica swirling in clear MP

    I googled the #%€£* out of ALL that wording!! I'm about to watch the vids, looks promising!

    Mica swirling in clear MP

    i can't even find a good picture of what I'm envisioning, maybe because it just doesn't work well. I'm wondering about doing mica swirls in clear based mp, leaving a portion of the soap clear, or even slightly tinted. Thoughts?? I can't imagine why I can't find what I'm looking for, unless (as...

    Ok, I'm impressed that I was able to wait!! I am encouraged!! There are some things I would change, but I'm happy with my first try!

    I looked at that several times, but I can't find the dimensions! I might have been too tired, I'll look again!

    THIS seems to be the right size, with the width being 2x the length for 2 squares. Pricey though, and a center divider would be nice! 3.5 x 7, almost $60 and out of stock! I need to get my husband to make me something!

    I should have just used less mica, as you say. I was afraid of stick blending because I didn't want it to get any thicker. I did notice little chunks of the TD which I HOPEFULLY got all worked out. I guess I'll really be able to see when I unmold the big one tomorrow. The TD came from nurture...

    Before I attempt this CP...

    Thank you SO much, yes it was FUN!! I love hp, but my complaint is that it's SO MUCH TIME with only about 2 minutes old design time! Not enough! Granted, this took me a LONG time today from measuring and cutting cardboard, trying to be sure that I had the right %'s of colors to base, AND...

    Better with their little faces sliced off!!

    :(:(Ugh!! I got BUBBLES!! Whereas I'm happy with my first swirling experiment, I'm #%€£*€¥!!! About the bubbles!!!!

    Blueberries for color?

    While we're here, what do you think dehydrated, powdered cranberries would do? sorryish for the hijack!

    Thanx! In order for this design to work properly the length needs to be twice the width in order to get 2 squares. It would be nice to find one with the center divider. Here's me thinking DH should make me something!

    In the oven hopefully gellin'! I should have taken a pic before it went in! I think that things went reasonably well, considering the size of the mold isn't quite right. The batter stayed pretty fluid for the duration. I FORGOT THE FRAGRANCE! I had made a bit extra batter to experiment in the...

    I know that I'm biting off WAY more than I should be, with my first cp swirling, but as I say d, it's the only one that has made me want to cross over to a CP! I've got everything ready, any words of wisdom????
