Thank you....I knew this wasn't going to be my last attempt. I was mostly looking to figure out proportion and to see if I liked this green after it gelled. I do like it....it's 2 parts green vibrance mica to 1 part black pearl mica. Both from Nurture. It's scented with NG Balsam FO at 3% PPO. I...

This is Jingle Bells soap scented with Sparkling Snowdrop. Made last week, but I was out of town and unable to post then.

Throwing my example onto this thread for gauging purposes as well. The green is only 15% and I think it's way too much for me. Too much green, too many swirls....so NOT minimalism. I'm going to have to think a little more on this project!

This is going to be so tough! I keep trying to teach myself that "less is more", but, I too, was going to use that same 25% ratio today.....thank you for posting this! You just saved me some time as I venture into attempt #1. It's beautiful, by the way.....what did you scent it with?

Happy Independence Day! I hope it comes with some fun activities, relaxation, and some feasting and celebrating. Enjoy the day!

That is beautiful, toxikon! Well done (again:))!

I don't think your skin loves it at all, MissE! Eek! That's the exact recipe I use to make stain sticks for laundry because it's so harsh it gets the stains out of fabrics! Be nice to your face, darling.....you deserve a luxuriously gentle soap for your skin!

Spent a wonderful day of listening to and learning from Zahida Map (Handmade in Florida), Jackie Thompson (author of "Liquid Soapmaking: Tips, Techniques, and Recipes for Creating All Manner of Liquid and Soft Soap Naturally!"), and Dr. Kevin Dunn ("Scientific Soapmaking"). I'm waiting for my...

I'm currently sitting at the airport, ready to fly off to SoapCon. Safe travels to all who are attending! :bath1:

Very nice, sunny! Were you quivering with excitement when you made the first cut? Soap cutting days are so exciting for me.....even after 5 years of soaping. It just never gets old!

See you there, all who are attending! I'm coming from the north, as well.....and thank you Cindy2428 for setting up a table for us SMF'ers. Okay, that just sounded really bad. Sorry.

No problem at all, newbie. I was just hoping that everyone was alright what with all the hurricanes and fires going on in the world. Thank you for taking on October's challenge. I'm so looking forward to whatever it will be. I sorta miss having something to obsess about, but I did get some...

I'm about five months into my cure and I didn't use any scent in this batch. The scent has mellowed considerably. I smell earthy green in a good way now. I could hardly stand it when I first made it! :sick:

I've got some from BeScented.com. Love it! And I've had really good luck with her scents, as well.

After spending a month purging the clutter in my home (can you visualize a massive dumpster and many trips to deliver donations?), canning, fermenting, and generally preparing for winter on the farm (the only thing left is to dig up potatoes, and put the garden beds to rest), I FINALLY got to...

I feel guilty going about my normal life when you all are up against so much uncertainty. I'm lifting you all up in prayer!✝️

So is mine, SRA! He's such a trooper. I love how happy he is for my soapy happiness.
