No colorant except for the coffee FO and the coffee itself. The coffee FO is very dark but with the stark whiteness of the tallow it comes out this mocha cream colour. This is a 5lb batch. I like making tallow soap , it's mild and 100% Tallow traces very quickly :) The coffee .... yummy...

it is a pretty colour, but I think my camera is on the fritz. Lighting changes of course and I changed rooms to cut some of the other pics, but these colours seem to be morphing from shot to shot. Very strange. Time for a new camera maybe , or better consistant lighting. I wonder how hard...

People often ask me the best way to cut large slabs from 5 - 20 lbs scored or unscored. This is the way that we find works the most accurately: If you are working with an unscored slab just lightly make some guidelines on the face of the slab to help you visually. Stand the slab up on...

Don't know what happened to the colour on the close up shot, the soap is the turquoise colour of the larger view. Must of shut the flash off I think it looks kind of dull. Anyway, thought I would show before I cut it into a million little bits! Nothing fancy inside just a rich and luxy...

Really pretty, what a beautiful edge. Lovely, really. Sygrid

I love them too. They look interesting and unique. I especially love the bottom pic, kool pattern.

RETRO CP bars with MP Flowers. More detailed instructions will be on the site but here are the basics to explain how it's done : 1. For your CP Batch - Measure/pre - weigh your ingredients. Heat your oils and mix your lye/water, set them aside to cool. Under 100F is where we want to...

I agree with Tabitha, you have to have a bottom line and stick to it based on cold hard raw mats and labour. If you've read any of my posts I am hard core advocate for not selling your efforts short. Aside from calculating the cost and what the SR (suggested retail) should be, I have found...

Beautiful, love the colours. Really nicely done.

Knock outs. I love the dark swirls!

These pic are all done with cp soap as the base with the flowers all done in mp. These were FUN to make I have more batches that will come out of the molds today and I'll post the pics as soon as I pop them out. If you want the instructions for any of them they will be uploaded to the site...

I know, you stumble a little at first, but you'll get it. If you get nervous practice what you'll say at home Keep it short and sing the benefits of quality ingredients. Offer the bar to the buyer for he/she to hold and smell. Tell her you brought that bar for her to try. Tell her the...

She's just beautiful Congratulations!

Great, good luck! I'll wait to hear :) Sygrid

Ok, here is how you release a Domed mold. You really don't need to oil the mold. Most people try to press in the center of the mold but a dome doesn't work that way. So gently bend the side of the mold 'in' toward the soap, all you are trying to do is break the seal and let a little air...

You can also use the Wilton Colours from Michaels. They are affordable and don't bleed. Red is red, which is really hard to get in mica and blue is stable which in mica it's not. I LOVE micas, but there are some limitations in using it. I use it for both cp and mp and bath bombs, pretty much...

Fantastic Labelling. I can hear them clearing their throats... 'excuse me.....clearly you weren't thinking of walking past were you?' I would stop and read what each one has to say...wonderful looking products Tabitha. Sygrid

You will have the best results if you remove the size of portion you want lightened at very light trace and add either TD or white mica at that point. I would suggest the Mica, as it will be easier to incorporate. Whisk it in, slowly and carefully. The whisk will work to evenly distribute the...

Depending on the EO's that I am using, I generally use 1oz per lb total batch weight if they are milder scents, and 1oz per lb of oils if they are stronger scents. Your 'scent to batch' volume ratio is relatively low. I would think you will be just fine. I have never had a customer come back...

If you are unsure of which Titanium Dioxide you have, take a small amount and mix it in a bit of very hot water. If it mixes easily then you have water soluable. If it doesn't mix well, then you have oil soluable. Try it in some hot oil to see the difference. Test this before you add it to...
