I saw this GORGEOUS soap in my instagram feed and I’ve been trying to figure out the technique I’m thinking maybe pour part of your batter in the mold, pour in a bit of oil mixed with mica, and then pour more batter on top of it? I wasn’t sure if I should post this here or in the soap pics thread

Congrats to all! @midnightsoaper , @szaza , @Terri E , @Dawni , @SaltedFig - you guys kicked some serious booty!! well done! i was so impressed by everyones creativity and craftiness, you guys rock! (~groan~ i'm sorry, i had to :p)

ooooh i've been thinking about trying this for a long time but it never came to the top of the to-do list. i've been working on a needle felted dog doll, and i'd bought a bunch of wee colored bags of roving to try some different things with. looking forward to learning how to do this! thanks...

this is one of my biggest fears, i've seen it played out so many times. :( one sibling goes rogue and seems hellbent on destruction as my parents start to get older, they've been trying to set up things to make it easier for us in the future, with POA and the wills and what not, but they cant...

so lovely, well done :)

@bahbah1182 how do you mix such small batches?

the vanilla bean is gorgeous! will it discolor?

that stirring shaft sounds really sweet! for my small test batches i use (reuse) the big yogurt containers. i would imagine if you liked eating yougurt and bought the individual serving containers you'd be able to accumulate a bunch fairly quickly. certainly not as quick and easy as solo cups...

happens more often than not to me unfortunately

I always try to force gel I made a couple batches that partially gelled when I just left them sitting out and I hated the ring and the texture it gave them so I do my best to force gel. I insulate my molds and I cover with a heating pad (I also really want more vibrant colors) A batch that...

I’ve made river stones! These bars are from my first batch of salt bars. I made them in a pvc pipe and I waited way too long to cut them, broken crumbly messes! They were colored with “50 shades” mica from WSP. The batch was split into two, one part was colored a light grey and the smaller...

i've had it as seasoned nuggets and also in soup like gumbo.

where did this month go?! i'm getting my booty in gear, will get pics posted tomorrow :D

we're going through a very similar situation now @shunt2011 , merging with a hospital and then splitting from them, being bought by another big company and now being dumped by that company, sold to another. the uncertainty is nerve wracking, i know that feeling , i'm so sorry you're going...

Yes @MGM!! Spot on Babies don’t need to be bathed very much, their delicate skin can usually be cleaned up pretty nicely with just water and a gentle rag With the over washing comes slathering them in lotions that are full of stuff she probably doesn’t want her baby’s skin absorbing If...

if you're looking for a slow-mover, keep in mind that palm will accelerate trace, have you considered lard? if it was me, i'd go get the $10 bucket of 8lbs of lard at walmart, and i'd do something along the lines of 40% OO 40% lard 20% CO for the sake of keeping it simple while you're getting...

well apparently i am destined to enter this month's challenge LOL last night in the shower i was checking out some of the soaps and the hamster in my head was cruising on its wheel 1. Misschief - I REALLY want to try this! 2. Primrose 3. Dawni - I think I can finally have a go at a challenge...

i made 4 batches earlier this week two batches were cut and put on the curing racks (sangria scented, and one with @cmzaha's dragons blood- holy cow its amazing, i dont want to let any of it go!), two batches needed a bit more time so thats whats happening tonight when the wildlings go to bed...

for those in the states- you can get a 2 pack of flexible cutting boards at dollartree, they're polyethelyne, i use them to line my round molds (shiny side in) these are what i use for mine- https://www.homedepot.com/p/VPC-3-in-x-2-ft-Plastic-ABS-Pipe-1203/202300520...
