You call them fragrances, maybe that's the problem? "The woman insisted that USPS doesn't allow fragrances" - maybe she thinks they are perfumes containing alcohol?

Has anyone used FB's Rose FO in cp soap? http://www.fragrancebuddy.com/rose_fragrance.aspx

I have exactly the same situation, it's been a week since getting my tracking number but the parcel is seems to be stuck in Georgia.

Thank you everyone! :) I'm sorry I couldn't answer earlier... I am on vacation and have been travelling. For this type of swirls I found that very thin trace doesn't give very good results. I could get the nicest feathers when my soap batter was between light and medium trace. I didn't use a...

Thank you, everyone! :-D Sonya, no, I haven't made these soaps with the Clyde Slide technique, I find the faux funnel pour isn't necessary to achieve this type of swirls. You can see some pictures of the process in my blog: http://soaptechniques.blogspot.com/2015/09/feathered-in-pot-swirl.html

I've been testing some FOs from AHRE and also experimenting with the Feathered in-the-pot swirls. So here are my new soaps: Satsuma: Black Cherry: and Hawaiian Sandalwood:

Susie, does sugar really make a difference? I remember reading somewhere that you wanted to make some experiments to be sure.

Thank you! I just got their newsletter today. :)

not_ally, where can I learn more about that?

Your swirls are lovely! I especially liked the first one.

I believe this soap is hand painted on the surface. I saw a very similar looking soap at this store: http://www.gardeners.com/buy/stone-soaps-set-of-3/8586382.html Here is one of the reviews from a customer: "The lines that make these look like rocks are only surface deep so within a short...

When I saw somebody else has had a similar idea of making a "kaleidoscope", I changed my mind and desided to make a sailboat. This was my first attempt at it (without the sun): Thanks for watching! :)

The 'soak tests' done by Dr. Kevin Dunn show that gelled soap is slightly less water soluble than un-gelled soap. Usually this means a bar of gelled soap would last longer. Here are some details about his experiments, pages 41-44: http://cavemanchemistry.com/HsmgTemperature2009.pdf P.S. Oh...

I would say the embeds are also CP soap: https://infusionsblog.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/olive-pomace-and-white-kaolin-in-soap/

I love your dragon, Liz! And like I said in your blog, I am really impressed that you can use 14 different colorants while soaping with such a strong lye solution!

Yes, I agree. Nevertheless there soooo many beautiful entries, I am really impressed!

Shouldn't be the inspiration also be Ebru? :think: That's how I understand the 3rd guideline: "3. You will need to include the inspiration for your soap in your entry – in your blog post, Facebook caption, Pinterest album, or YouTube Video, demonstrating that it is an Ebru technique, whether in...

Amy said: " You may pour the soap in the mold in any variety of patterns that mimic an Ebru technique, ". That doesn't give us a lot of choice - let's say we cannot pour soap batter in stripes, can we? :roll:
