    Latest hanger swirl

    The Pink was Flashdance from Mad Micas. The Blue was a combo of Moonshine, Tahitian Teal and some other blue - all from Nurture and the Yellow was a combo of Lemon Drop and some other Yellow also both from Nurture.

    Latest hanger swirl

    Here is my latest soap. I love just blindly swirling that hanger tool up and down and around and hoping for the best.

    Cosmic One Pot Wonder

    Pretty sure it’s called One Pot Wonder. You should be able to find a bunch of You Tube videos demonstrating it.

    Been a while

    Haven’t been here in quite some time. Started soaping again recently. Here is most recent batch. Best part about hanger swirls is not knowing what it will look like. This might be one of my favorite batches of all time.

    My first batch

    Awesome!! Best part of soap making is that you never know what is going to happen. As long as you take your time, pay attention, and don't obsess there is always the potential for awesome results. Once I learned to just accept that sometimes it is a crapshoot I enjoyed myself so much more.

    Been awhile

    Hello everyone. Been awhile since I posted. Kind of burned myself out on the whole soapmaking thing. Had at least 100 bars sitting around and then I just lost my passion for it. Took a personal day the other day and decided to make a batch. Took my time and so happy with the results. Hope...

    Lotion Bars

    those molds are always hit or miss for me. no matter what my recipe is I have to leave it in the mold for 4-5 days or those little nubs break off. if you are just starting out making soap you are better off just using a regular loaf/rectangular mold so you don’t get frustrated with the results.

    Valentine’s Day soap

    Thanks. Once again my results are mostly dumb luck. I was trying to do a feather swirl so it kind of came out like I planned. As for the meat soap, I was very worried about that but I think most meat soaps are the result of ITP swirls or tiger swirls that use more of the reds. I only used 12.5%...

    Valentine’s Day soap

    Here is my latest batch. I know I should have made this 6 weeks ago but better late than never. Winter White, Trial By Fire from Nurture, along with Voodoo from Mad Micas. FO is Black Raspberry Vanilla from Nurture. Was looking for a feather swirl but I got impatient and didn’t let my batter...

    Help identifying these substances...

    The flatter looking flakes look like Palm Kernel Oil flakes. Not sure about the other stuff. If you can’t find out for sure what they are I wouldnt do anything with it.

    Herbalicious FO from Nurture

    Has anyone out there used Herbalicious FO from Nurture Soaps.? I ordered two 1oz bottles just to see the color morphing that is talked about in the description and the reviews. Think I will just make a small 1lb batch of white soap colored with Winter White and use this FO and see what kind of...

    Hard Oils/Heated Lye Transfer

    your recipe only has one hard oil so not sure why you would even need to do the heat transfer method. with all those soft oils you are probably soaping way too hot. Also your recipe is only adding up to 90%. What is the other 10%?

    First soaps of 2022 happy new year 🎊

    "Ethereal" is the word that comes to mind. Gorgeous soaps. I have not done anything yet this year. Lost a little bit of my mojo to be honest. These have inspired me to make some soap this weekend. Thanks for sharing @violets2217

    "Pork fat" Vs Lard

    My family on my father's side comes from Spain and Iberico Ham is top of the line and in my opinion would be a crime to waste that making soap. Just my opinion but if you got it cheap and don't have any use for it then go for it.

    making shave soap for the first time

    Appreciate the feedback. This was my first stab at both shave soap and hot process so I wanted to follow step by step instructions first and then start analyzing and learning more. In a weird way I am happy that you were able to find the faults in this recipe. It will also be good to start out...
