I've already finished white and blues marbled soap with a mix of christmas spice and apple & cinnamon fo, brown layered one with choc and whiskey fo and black with white swirl with star anise eo i look forward to christmas + had an idea to hand it out as a promo

Thanks, verybpleased with it myself :) Tried a little - water did turn greyish. Then again it cleaned off the charcoal/oily mess i couldn't get off my hands.

Unmolded a soap i made yesterday...and posted here after about an eon

And here they are: Blue Christmas & Christmas Spirit

I miscalculated and this was left-over mixture. The spaghetti was supposed to go on Christmas muffins to look like tinsel but it looked like a muffin out of Elm Street so I just piped it on the mixture randomly.

And here it is - the Spaghetti Puke Soap.

Guess I'll just change lye and see how it goes from there

:eek: lots to think about but thanks for your input So 1) yep lye was clumpy. I had just bought it and it sort of didn't seem to reach such a high temperature when mixed with water 2) mold is silicone and never lined it with anything 3) I tried CPOP for the first time. There was a noticeable...

Thanks all, I was really happy with the trees and hollies myself. Just kept going over to the counter every 15 mins to sneak a peek :P They're also scented with peppermint & sweet orange eo's so quite a christmassy smell

I decided to take the easy way out and do muffin soaps with green frosting and small yellow and red drops as decorations :D fingers not too bad - at the moment they look like an old witch's, all wrinkled. Tres sexy

Hi there, been at this for about 2 years but still consider myself a newbie. I've been having some issues with my soaps lately: they are not drying out and taking ages in the mold. At first I thought the recipe was too liquid based (10% Sweet almond oil, 7% castor oil, 15% oo, 30% co & 38%...

Thanks all

My 2nd year of soaping and tried a few new things. Still got a long way to go and have to figure out how to use TD correctly 1. Sugar scrubs, eucalyptus soap with calendula, and star anise soap, both hanger swirl 2. Chocolate and whisky faux funnel pour, Muffin trees and Blue Christmas soap...

Yep, lots of interesting and 'simple' ideas out there. Until you try them out...:) Really like your experiments and the write-up cracked me up I also experimented with Xmas trees this year and managed to burn two fingers

Tried my first Christmas soaps today.

Thanks was hanger swirling like mad from all angles

That's really beautiful - reminds me not those delicate China plates ☺ I'll keep it for another week maybe it will harden, then see what happens

☺ used the same recipe for both and left it unscented. Still got a nice chocolatey smell from the cocoa butter. Used charcoal in the blank swirl one and chocolate & neroli confetti in the other. Still don't have names for them

Very nice. Looks like a really expensive dessert

Well....it's spongy & smells sickly sweet. Think it's going in the bin
