Ok here are photos of what is happening with my soap, if anyone had an idea about it ... the grey parts on the right are soft but smooth and feel like they'll be fine once they harden up, the green on the left is softer with uneven textures, and the purple is super soft and chalky and falls off...

Awesome!!

That's lovely tina - what fragrance did you use? (if any)

Excellent, well done. Keep us posted as to how you go with it.

Love love love the butterfly!

It stays soft a lot longer than usual but does eventually set up. But it tends to crumble, especially nearing the end of the bar. But the weird thing is it has a different sort of look to it which puts me in mind of how egg whites look when you whip them up. (Which is why I wondered about the...

As you can see Todd - many different ideas and preferences. Guess you'd better just give that recipe a whirl and see how you go. I'm with penelopejane re olive oil soaps, I love them, but lots of people here don't. If you think your recipe might just work for you then the only way to know is to...

Hi Toni and welcome! My husband, too is very supportive - he took two of my wrapped soaps to work today to give to two of his colleagues who are having birthdays - because he is so proud of my soap. :)

Welcome and well done, those are lovely!

Yes I'd like to see your pic MySoapyHeart, thanks :) I made fizzy toilet fresheners. The toilet smells lovely - all lemony and pepperminty.

I'll be interested to see how they go penelope, I haven't purchased from them yet.

Ok got it, thanks. I thought I had all the rules worked out but not quite. I'll post a pic of the "fail" when I get it out of the mould - it's still really soft. I've been having trouble with soft soap lately - does it happen if you stick blend too much does anyone know? I think I'm getting...

Need to make a switch ... And who are you gonna beat with it? ... ;-)

I adapted a recipe from the Wellness Mama blog. We love it because it works. Apparently some people can't use baking soda though as it irritates them, but we find it ok. If you have issues with it I believe the Wellness Mama has an alternative recipe on the blog. This is my adaptation of her...

Thanks newbie, no I didn't remember that so I'm glad you reminded me :) I checked the soap this morning and unfortunately it has cracks on the top (not too severe - can be fixed), but the purple has turned into a colour I wasn't expecting - one which isn't in the picture at all. That's the...

If you wanna post ... I wanna watch ... :)

I hear you! But ... ^^^ what navaria said ... ^^^ So true - others will see the beauty that DOES exist - even though you think you've fallen short. And on that note ... I checked my challenge soap this morning - it has cracked on the top and the purple has turned out completely wrong...

Don't you dare throw those out Guspuppy - they are way to purty!! I made a first attempt at the soap challenge, so much fun :D My daughter took photos, got excited and has decided she wants to make a celestial/space soap ... today ... and she's never made soap before. Ahem!
