Very pretty! looking forward to pics of the cut soap!

I know, right! I have been making soap for a long time, but I still learn little tricks here and there from watching other people make soap. I love to watch the process! ETA, I got called in to work today so I didn't get to go to Dollar Tree, so I will have to go tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

nice mold, and great looking soap!

I have gone up to 15% as an experiment to see if I could go higher on coconut with a higher superfat. Our skin is sensitive to coconut and/or pk in higher amounts, I can't go higher than 10% total in a recipe. It was a no go...we still got itchy. Anyway, my default is 7%, but I'm thinking I...

Looks good. You could probably stick that in the freezer to harden it up faster so you could cut it. I do that at times with castile types.

Awesome! I have both Dollar Tree and Big Lots here! Going to look for some of these today! Don't know why dollar tree didn't cross my mind. :crazy: I had looked at Walmart, Target, and Bed Bath and Beyond and didn't come up with anything.

You've already gotten some wonderful advise here so I just wanted to say welcome. Welcome to the forum and welcome to the addiction!

Hi there, I am looking for plastic bowls/pitchers for soap making similar to the ones used in this youtube video (the bigger ones): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTDPcyUUF_Q&list=UU3PM8TsawVROFDbAJ1IyjRw They don't have to be exactly the same ones, just something similar. My other...

Thanks so much for the compliments! I've been making soap for a long time....I'd say about 17 yrs now. The first couple of years were cp, and then hp mostly after that, so I guess you can say I've had a bit of practice LOL! There are a few different ways to get the hp more fluid without...

Thank you!

I have made salt bars with lard before. I can't remember the percentage I used off hand, but it turned out very nice. I also love lard in soap. It imparts hardness, creaminess to the lather, and conditioning.

Thanks everyone! the colors are growing on me LOL! I really wanted a nice orange, and before molding it looked more peach, and now it looks kind of pinkish. And the green looks almost like a sea glass. I did do a full water content and added 1/4 tsp salt ppo to the lye water. That way the soap...

Thank so much for the compliments! I am really surprised that they turned out as well as they did because I rarely ever do cp. The FO was so well behaved though thank goodness. :D

My dh LOVES his peppermint soap that I make for him. It's his Favorite! I think I use it at .3% if I remember correctly.

this one was done hp with a spoon swirl in the mold. The green and orange didn't turn out quite the color I had envisioned, but it looks ok. TFL

I have soaped all kinds of fresh pureed food items: Yogurt, Banana, Cucumber, Strawberries, pumpkin, Aloe, Oatmeal, and I am sure there are others I can't think of right now LOL! Then there have been teas, coconut milk, buttermilk, goatmilk, beer, etc, etc. I have never had anything of my...

Today I cut the Black Raspberry Vanilla that I made yesterday. I did my first hanger swirl and I love the way they turned out. Also right now I have a batch in my crockpot that is going to scented with Monkey Farts swirled with yellow, orange and green.

Thank you Ellacho and Beachy! I think I will give it another try it was fun!

Thanks Seawolfe! I had fun making them but I gotta tell ya it's been some time since I've done cp. My kitchen was a disaster when I was finished LOL!

just bumping this up as I added pictures. I am very happy with how they turned out. :razz:
