Thanks kc, I really enjoyed this challenge and it was a really different new technique to try with so much potential. When I have more time I am definitely going to revisit this! I hope you will host some more challenges with us :) Congratulations to all the winners, you all did a fantastic job!

I will wait until the winner is announced before putting up the next challenge. :)

If you rinsed the affected area thoroughly with water straight away then you will be fine.

Ooooh they are all so pretty!!!

Oops sorry earlene, I must have copied and pasted the wrong thing. I am on the iPad now but will fix when I get on the PC.

I have made laundry soap with just a balloon whisk but the 100% coconut heats up so fast that the reaction doesn't need as much mixing. I tried with my regular soap recipe as I thought it might be fun for the students at my soapmaking workshops, but after an hour of trying I gave in and stick...

I am going to call my entry neonsplosion LOL! I thought it was only fitting to use the mad oils neon micas for my entry as KC was the one who kindly organised getting them to the UK for me as you can't buy them over here. I scented the soap with a sour apple fragrance which accellerates a bit as...

Thanks for the kind words everyone :) I have just poured my top part so hopefully I will have something to enter!

I'm really sad that I haven't had chance to have a go at this yet. My uncle unexpectedly died and I had to go to Manchester to be with my family. His funeral was on Tuesday so I am finally starting to get back to normal. I really hope I have time in the week to have a go. I need to go and check...

Beardguy is it cold in the room where you made your soap? I work in an unheated old water mill building and in winter I have horrible trouble with crumbly soap that isn't lye heavy and only occurs near the bottom of the moulds. It only happens between November and February when the outside temps...

It works fine at 40% lye concentration - I mix the soap till it is emulsified, divide into three parts. Divide fragrance into three too. Set aside to thicken slightly and make sure it's not going to separate. Then add the fragrance, mix it in thoroughly and quickly pour. It does accelerate, but...

Oooh they look lovely!

Thank you for the lovely compliments everyone. Lots of my hair fell out from the stressful things that happened last year and it seemed to be re growing over the last couple of months, but that left me feeling really tired and barely able to get out of bed. I am starting to feel better again now...

I like some free fragrance in my soap as well so I use about 1/3 fragrance weight of tapioca starch Dahlia, it forms a watery paste. I add most fragrances at trace.

I'm weird, I adore jasmine tea and detest cilantro!
