that dragonfly mold was the first mold I ever bought back when I was still too scared to try CP. I still love it best.

Packed up the last of my soaps, my marble cheese-cutting board and my packaging ribbons. Tomorrow I'll dump the last bits of lye masterbatch onto the weeds in my courtyard. No soaping for two weeks. How did I get through so many years without making soap? Not sure I can face the next two weeks.

I'd love to meet you too! I posted in a few Facebook forums but nothing for certain yet. We shall see. I'll be in touch. It's all pretty much brand new and you can't even tell an ounce is missing. It breaks my heart to see it go to waste. A year ago, if you'd told me I'd be saying the lost of...

I've read the books so I can tell you the answers to both those questions, Navigator, but I'll be good and leave you unspoiled. :)

Right on, Retropixie! Just looking at the picture posted I just about choked--by claiming that hers is the ONLY company making "synthetic-free" skincare products (and I don't even know where to begin with that choice of words), she's implying that everyone else is just gleefully tearing open...

I have molds for a (High)garden of golden roses with a green base for Margaery, and amethyst jewel soaps for the Queen of Thorns, so I figure the latter one will do for Joffrey, since that's what poisoned him. He's kind of old news so I'd like to concentrate on characters with some skin in the...

Definitely, Teresa. I have the scent and name planned (The God of Tits and Wine) but not the shape. Perhaps guest-size soaps? Too soon?

Jon Snow can't be dead; he's the endgame. I'm holding out hope, anyway. It looks like we won't know until 2017 at the earliest. I'll be making Golden Hand soaps for Jamie after I move, and any other ASOIAF themes people want to suggest.

Dingdingding! That's Fire & Blood for Danaerys scented with wasabi and woodsmoke; Lady Stoneheart for Catelyn scented with tonka bean, soft black pepper and teakwood; Jon Snow's Blue Rose with peppermint and lavender; Lemon Cake for Sansa (sweet Meyer lemon with a lemon cake crust); and House of...

Ooh, nope! It's a blue rose growing from a wall of ice.

A hundred geek points if you can guess the characters. The black and white ones are soleseife, my new favorite thing to make.

I gotta say, y'all got some high standards. These last few (and many previous) are prettier than soaps I consider my beauties. This thread is as much an inspiration to me as the photo thread.

From the previous page, how does the soaper get that gold vein to be so glittery-gold? Gold mica in my soap turns it opaque yellow.

What a fun thread and what a bunch of cool cats you all are! My tattoos are in my profile pic. There are swirly bows above my knees. I love my ink and I loved the experience--even got a discount for being "good" (not twitching). But I won't get another. These are like clothing and I can avoid...

OMG, this is moronic. Thanks, navigator! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNvIQJz1674

Sorry, mods, if this thread is invalid, but I think it goes to the perception of soapmaking, its process and its safety among the general public. And those are things we should protect and defend. There's Fight Club—burning yourself with lye is badazz!—Orange Is the New Black, which, look, I...

Galaxy, it looks great cut! Kinda like pixie barf in the pan but the cut bars are really nice. I think this one is salvagable, but then again, I'd say anything to get out of rebatching. @not_ally, I used Wasabi in the colored bits and Eucalyptus in the clear, because BB's Wasabi goes yellowish...

That is gorgeous! I loved the sample I got. Not enough to buy it, but still, it smelled delicious.

I don't zap test anymore. I have proven recipes--one for soaps that will discolor, one for white soaps, and I can't imagine that either will go drastically wrong enough to require a zap test, considering they are solid and proven. I wait a week and then wash with a sliver. So far, so good.
