I couldn't find photos of the winners for July's woodgrain soap challenge. From what I did see, awesome beautiful work. Congratulations to everyone!

@Ephemerella what did you end up buying to melt your wax? I've been so absent here consider me new. Like a dinky-do, I bought some beeswax and didn't check the origin...I will not say where it was from, but it wasn't what I had hoped for. Too yellow and unnatural looking, not like the...

Hi, I have been a "member" here for a couple of years but rarely drop by or comment. I bought some EOs recently, inexpensive enough, pretty packaging fooled me, I guess. I bought sandalwood, patchouli, and bergamot. The bergamot smells fine. The other two smell like they had petroleum added! As...

@kagey I hope you're able to get the bay rum fragrance/oil, whatever. We used to buy a bay rum soap more than 30 years ago, I forget what company made it. It was a wonderful scent. I'm sure my sons would like it.

Cleaning out my desk and found the business card of a local lady who sells goat milk soap and goats. After we had talked a few minutes, she invited me over to watch her make soap. That was probably TWO years ago! I hope she's still doing this stuff. Glad I found her card since I don't know if I...

haha, I know a guy who checked his and found he had inherited a boatload of money! I checked for my sister once and she had some money coming to her from the state too, forget what it was for, but she had a good chuckle over it and got her money.

@John Harris have you ever used Mountain Rose Herbs products? I don't know how their EO's perform in soap making and there are different blends you could use to make up your own scent for Nag Champa. I don't know what the original formula was but quite a few different EO's can be used and...

New Soap Friends: THANK YOU. This is great how supportive you are to one another (and me)! @earlene clear this up for me: I thought mixing soap solution was supposed to be done,,,,wait...ok. not outside, but well-ventilated. Like many of you, I have a dog and a cat and they are always in my...

@earlene I didn't answer all of your questions! I'm such a hands-on person, but might do okay reading and watching tutorials enough times. I will check the links you included. There is a soapmaker I met where I work a couple of years ago, she lives within 20 miles or so of me and said she would...

Thank you, everyone! @Zing I did watch a tutorial video from the Brambleberry lady. She sure made it look easy. I agree about being wary with Amazon EO and scents and colorants. Thank you for the links to everything. You guys are excited to pull another rookie into the fold! haha @Zany_in_CO...

Thank you, @MellonFriend !! Any suggestions to make it cheaper and easier, I sure appreciate any instruction, comments, etc you'd be willing to toss my way even when I don't ask. :rolleyes: ;)

I'm anticipating having to find smaller goggles than standard size. Do you own more than one pair of goggles? Where do you buy yours from? Do you get most of your soap making supplies from Amazon, soap supply companies, anywhere you can? Maybe you have found a trusted supplier and go with that...

@Catscankim Click on "Report" as seen at the bottom of your screen. That's what I did just a few minutes ago as well.

I've wondered why it is not possible to search and find recipes of soaps, copyright or trademark secrets I suppose.

Congratulations! I haven't made soap ever, but I did buy two highly recommended (here) soapers books and got two molds, the purple silicone that fits inside a nice wooden box, tongue in groove corners. I don't want to do anything riskier than the soap making itself. Starting out with something...
