@DeeAnna, I forgot to look at the date. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm feeling the same way about my shampoo bars. It's been about two weeks, so I'm going for it!

Sméagol oops! a moment too late.

What a great idea! Will start saving the bits & pieces.

@Meena I make do a whole lot. For cutting my soaps, I use a ruler and mark 1" increments along each side with my soap cutting blade. Then do the best I can to cut straight down across the loaf from one mark to the matching mark on the other side. Bars aren't perfect, but never had any...

That soap is so beautiful. Very artsy! Is the confetti from grated soap or something else? I really like it!

Meena, I use the tare button when measuring the hard oils. If I put a little too much cocoa butter in with the coconut oil, it's easy enough to take a little back out. Sometimes I live on the wild side and tare with the soft oils. But I pour very, very, very slowly.

I put together a slab mold out of the last two bed slats. Looks like #@$@! But it's square and I'm gonna use it, by cracky! Getting some freezer paper to use in this one. It really is worse than a cardboard box.

I considered getting some bronze mica for lip balms. Might go ahead and use it for soap also. Thanks for responding.

Thanks for the correction, Misschief. I just realized the soap I was talking about was actually created by KiwiMoose. I've never been accused of being the brightest crayon in the box. ;-)

Thank you, shunt2011. I will look on Amazon right now.

I made two 4 lb wood soap molds today. Daughter had 4 pine bed slats headed to the trash. I grabbed them. They're somewhat warped & not pretty, but they work for me. After the two molds today, I still have two boards left. Will likely make a slab mold after seeing Zing's beautiful soap she made...

Meena, you made a beautiful soap! You are much braver than I was with my first soaps. It was quite a while before I tried adding colors.

I've must find a silicone cake mat "thingy"! I've had no desire to do slab soaps until I saw your beautiful supply-box-mold soap. What did you use on the design for that pretty color?

Just found the Photo Gallery. Zing, your soaps are so pretty!

Thank you, Meena. I'm looking forward to getting more colors to play with. And I love my naps. Lots of days I need a couple. As far as trace, I'm no expert for sure...but - I find as long as I have trace, I'm good. Even if it's thin & I want to swirl or whatever, I can wait a few minutes for the...

This has been a good soap day. Sliced the Arabian Spice loaf I made yesterday. First time to try an angled pour. Made some Creamy Lavender Soap. Still trying for that nice white soap, but creamy will have to suffice. I'll see tomorrow if maybe it whitens a little. I read today that I probably...
