Hey, is that from our very own Lynnz up there?? :D

I so relate to most of the posts above - I prefer to gel - I usually soap at 30% lye concentration and cover and insulate with blankets. My house has been rather cold lately and I suspect it has caused my soap to not gel properly and the resulting soap is soft, chalky, tends to break easily and...

This is so exciting - I'm in awe Black Dog, so cool! My idea for that pic was totally different but I so love yours! Well done Saponista and MySoapyHeart - awesome both of you. Oh isn't this fun :D Love seeing others' creative ideas.

Mine have all started sweating after a couple of months. Perhaps that's just what they do? They're still lovely to use.

We're not doing all that great are we? :think:

Well, I will be cutting my first attempt hopefully tonight - I think it has hardened up enough. But that fourth colour is all wrong anyway, so if it looks any way decent I'll post a pic. Then - on to a second attempt on the weekend. And the rest of you ... ?

Looking forward to the cut ...... :D

Ooh lovely, did you use a fragrance?

Elysium, I've had troubles just lately with more soda ash than usual - using the same recipes and moulds that usually work for me. I'm wondering if my problem is due to my house being cooler. We're going into Winter now - just wondering where you live and whether there have been changes in...

I'm still trying to work it out ... :-?

My "fail" turned out quite pretty after all :) Although, still a "fail" as in it doesn't qualify due to the colours. Still waiting for it to harden up though. No time to soap this weekend, helping out my parents with their down-sizing massive garage sale. Sold some soaps here though! Did better...

Pretty! :)

That's lovely - I just shared your post with my whole family. We're all smiling ... enjoy!!! :)

Awesome!! I find myself trying to imagine what they all smell like, you make them sound delicious! Love the candy heart idea too :D

Hi and welcome selinayeee :) Whenever I do a "whipped cream" look on my soap, I just do what you do and stick blend until it is super thick, then pipe it on using an icing bag and nozzle. Works for me! I haven't tried any other way so I can't comment on pros and cons. Suzie

Soaping with unknown oil What! You didn't introduce yourselves first?

Wow LisaAnne - I wish you every success in your new ventures business-wise but even more than that, with your relationship. I hope you have a wonderful life together! He sounds awesome xx

Ah yes, I like that! Must remember it :razz:

Thanks Saponista, it's possible I didn't mix the colour in enough as I was trying to keep a thin trace. I don't think I'm very good at thin traces anyway. @cgpeanut - No I didn't use any clays.

^^ That's a cool looking soap even if it isn't what you were going for BattleGnome. Thanks Saponista.
