I love red. And that soap is awesome!

I like them both. The second one in the oats is cool looking.

I second TVivian's post. It is the oils used that will determine how long the bar will last, not so much the method. MP has other additives and hardens quickly and seems to last quite a while (made some for the kid who loves weird, sparkly soaps), whereas my HP soaps definitely don't last as...

They're both lovely, but the second one looks tasty! :D Cool planters in the background btw.

Hi I'm on well and septic and have not had a problem. If you are dumping a LOT of lye water down the drain then there might be cause for concern but if you are neutralizing it first then you're ok. We have been flushing a cup of yeast granules down the toilet every other month to keep up with...

And keep stirring, stirring, stirring. It will settle down. Good luck on the next batch. :)

Hi Ashley and welcome! You have some lovely soaps on your website.

I've had excellent service from both Saffire Blue and NDA and find that the quality is quite good. Their shipping costs are peanuts to where I am, which is near Ottawa so this definitely affects the rates. I'm glad Candora was mentioned because I will be in London in a couple of weeks and will...

Yes, very pretty soap! Does it lather black?

Kazmi the swirls are beautiful! Cut the soap already! ;) :D

It looks like the dried soap on the sides of the crockpot. You don't have to stir constantly initially but I do it so that minimal soap gathers on the sides during the cook. Lovely soap, by the way. It will harden up.

Thanks Paillo, I will check their website out.

Thanks Kellie! You don't see the shimmer when the soaps are dry but it's there when wet. Very nice, methinks. Cherry the website is nurturesoapsupplies.com and they are definitely worth playing around with. Kazmi, thanks for that video link. I haven't watched her videos in a while so I...

I purchased some Rainbow Mica samples from Cosmo a month or so ago and finally got a chance to try them out. I loved the shimmer and was hoping but not expecting it to stay in the soap. I was really hoping the colours would stay and they certainly did! I am VERY happy with the results. I think I...

If it's out of pocket I would just print sheets of paper in colour. There is also Vistaprint and sometimes large stationery stores will offer printing services.

It looks edible, like an ice cream cake. Looking forward to seeing the cut version. ;)

Congrats on passing your bar exam! :) It's difficult to get the air pockets out of batter that accelerates so don't worry about those. Your soap looks soft and lovely. I just made a couple of mini batches tonight, one with Wisteria Lilac FO in a pure castille soap that accelerated and traced in...

Oooh, very nice! What a great way to jazz up cardstock.

There is nothing wrong with your soaps. One can never go wrong with trying to learn as much info as possible but you really need to get a few batches of both methods under your belt because each one has its challenges. There are so many variables that contribute to the success or failure of a...

Yes, same thing.
