I live in a part of the US where (American) football rivalries are a way of life. I shared that I made my tiger stripes for Auburn University in my home state. Well, I work with a ton of Mississippi State fans, and they are demanding “equal time.” My challenge is their school colors..thus the...

Problem is, I’m not—just managing the chaos. I am always working to gain efficiency, and find that I waste a ton of time looking for things My wife would laugh at that—The other day, I was walking around the house on my phone...LOOKING for my phone. :confused: There are so many parts and...

Master-batched next 4 loads, transferred bagged colorants to plastic jars, organized said colorants and fragrances in soap cabinet and finished set-up of eCommerce website—all while smoking a pork butt, slab of ribs and turkey breast; working out then walking the dog. I’m bushed!

I respectfully disagree about your “too much white” assessment. I love the contrast. Very nice work.

Thank you. I love this technique. It’s easy after the first couple of times.

Hey, I’m a classy guy.

Looks exactly like a Bengal tiger. Amazing.

Agreed! Those are beautiful.

Hey TAS, we haven’t met. Welcome back to the obsession. Make some soap. Let’s have fun.

No, but he’s Grrrreat!

“Rawrr?” That sounds like how a southern lion would roar

Well, now I'm inspired. I have, basically, a "gabillion" little envelopes of mica. Anything an oz or more is going into a jar or bottle, and I'm moving my colorants from a shelf into a drawer over the holiday weekend. And, while I'm at it, I move my EOs/FOs in to a drawer as well. It's gonna...

Very nice.

Why would that not qualify as a tiger swirl? They look great and were clearly poured in layers.

I actually appreciate both points of view--especially since I have a more than full-time job. I'm not launching any sort of subscription service soon. Heck...I'll be happy just to get my eCommerce site up and running. I'm just exploring and creating hopefully interesting conversation. I got...

NO Sherry! Very good stuff. I forgot to mention, I too am into the subscription thing. Wife signed me up for Dollar Shave Club a couple of years ago, so I get the same pack of razors each month, so so "surprise" factor there, but they do include a rather pithy "bathroom reader" that I enjoy...

Been dying to use the new word I learned from my wife... Nice "ombre!"

I agree with Earlene...and the other comments above. Colorants are always a bit of hit and miss. Some disperse best in oil, others in water and some in glycerine, and they aren't generally labeled (at least from my supplies) as to which is which. I have a lavender colorant that, unless it's...

I love these! I have a couple of bags of trimmings Janice has has been encouraging me to add to a batch, but I've been resisting. Now I want to do it. My shavings are predominantly TD white, so I'm debating putting in a colored soap or leaving the soap natural for a more subtle white/neutral...
