I am running a secret Santa for handmade soaps/cosmetics over in a European soapmaking Facebook group. I know we don’t have that many Europeans on here so I struggle to get enough people wanting to do soap swaps so if you would like to join in and are in Europe then send me a PM and I will give...

The only time I used M&P and cold process. The m&p went all sweaty and sticky so I am totally no help sorry! I love that inspiration pic though! :)

I adore art nouveau. Really looking forward to seeing all these entries. I'm really excited about this challenge :)

Don't worry Traumabrew, you can still use any of the ideas listed. Just put your own personal spin on them. Noone's soap is likely to end up looking the same :) I received your message and your idea is fine. Just find a picture of something suitable to explain why you chose your idea.

I can't edit my original post to add the video so here's the youtube link to instead. https://youtu.be/8_neaUcjT64

Yes of course, that sounds exciting!

Yes I am weird, I only know my height in ft and ins, and distance in miles but I measure everything else in metric. I weight myself in stone and lbs, but I weigh everything else in metric. We do a weird sort of hybrid lol

That pumpkin is absolutely gigantic. I didn't even know they could grow that big!!! Here is my pumpkin this year. I thought the skull went with the white skin.

I still Don't have the video, but have added a picture of my soap so you can see the general idea. Hope that helps a little. It doesn't have to be complicated as you can see from mine and it could be as simple as a colour scheme from a piece of artwork that inspires you or as complicated as a...

Just to let you know that my example soap and video are coming, but due to my digital ineptitude I can't get it to work. My hubby is away working this week so I will upload it when he is home to help me. Sorry guys! You don't really need my example anyway as your soap design is your own choice...

You can use http://www.eocalc.com/ now for the same results :)

Just to let everyone know that it is me running next month's challenge. I am currently ready to throw the video camera at the wall as it failed to let me know that the data card was full so the end of my video isn't there and I am now tearing my hair out wondering why I can't get the PC to...

Same old stock blender too! I am going to buy more palm tomorrow and specifically check for a different batch code on the boxes. Wish me luck!

I don't use pomace as it always seems to cause crazy amounts of acceleration, it is regular olive oil. The new lot was cheaper so I thought it might have been misrepresented and actually pomace, but the stuff I went back to was the usual stuff which I know works as I used that batch number and...

They are plugged into the wall so run on mains power and I calibrated them recently so it's definitely not that. It's so odd!

I have made hundreds and hundreds of bars of soap using my same recipe and never had a problem with it tracing way too quickly, but this month it has been a nightmare. My recipe is just Palm, olive, sunflower and coconut oil. I thought at first it was the olive oil as I had changed supplier, but...

How thick do you think the batter needs to be?
