I live near the sea so have collected some seaweed, dulce and bladder wrack to make some soap. I added 2 teaspoons of dulce, and one of bladder wrack into some avocado oil before adding to my base oils 1000 grams. The bladder wrack was a bit scratchy in the oil so I strained it before adding...

Thanks for that. I'm from Wales UK!!

I love them, they look so lovely and natural. Did you use a mould for the writing or was it on the bottom of the mould ?

I've infused 1 tablespoon of dried seaweed in 30 grams of avocado oil and plan to add to soap batch tomorrow, not sure if this is enough to colour a light green or should I put in more. Also not sure if I should strain or add it all for a speckle look. Will post photos when done. Also do you...

I've seen a u tube tutorial that shows the hole done when the batter is being poured. She used individual moulds and placed a cut straw in the correct place, took the straw out 24 hours later.

Hi. I'm from Wales and I love this forum. You will learn a lot and everyone is really helpful when you have a problem..

Perhaps if I only maximise my %. Ie 8% then it will not be too much of an issue?

Those are really good.

I bought a wooden one, so I could mark out measurements 1' 1.5 inches ect

Ok thanks for that. Last time I made them they were a bit thin, I'll try a cheese slicer and see if I can make them thicker.

Hey. What make of scales did you get, thinking of getting a new scale so I may as well get a good one!!

I've seen a video somewhere, where something was added to melt and pour transparent, she then made curles with a cheese slice and then put it in a mould and poured in CP. I think it was glycerin , but does anyone know how much to add ?

That's really pretty . Live the colours.

I aways buy hadmade CP soaps when i see them, then photograph and keep the packaging!! Mentioning soap from Afghanistan reminds me of seeing some soap that was sold in a craft fair that was apparently made in Turkey. It was in the shape of fruit, - bananas, apple and orange and beautifully...

Thats great! Ive been trying to perfect this technique with mixed results. Looks like you nailed it!

Can't wait to see them cut. They look fab

Sorry photo is upside down! No it's not a column swirl, it's a tall thin mould. 2.5 wide x 3 high. Used sheet of plastic set at angle in the mould and poured the different colours down the plastic. The mix of oils helps for a slow trace, first time I tried this tecnnique with pomace and it...
