If you go to the website I posted last I'm sure you'll add much more to your 57 in just one night hahahaOk...so far I have seen 57 designs I want to try........
I found it on Amazon--leaf square nature handmade silicon mold by Williamhouse...This post of mine was inspired by that soap but I had no individual molds so I used a loaf. Came fairly cheap here, where everything else is expensive lol. Are they expensive for you from Amazon? They have those suppliers from China that make em cheap. I noticed thinner silicone, but it works.
Now this is a mold I wish I can find here..

I am not Jeboz, but I don't see how a dehumidifier would work well with a swamp cooler. Swamp coolers are water based. Dehumidifiers pull air out of the air. So they would be competing with each other and you would be using even more water to refill the swamp cooler.
Our central AC systems pulls water out of the air and spits it down a drain. We also have a separate dehumidifier that does the same thing that we use when the humidity rises due to heavy rains (we use it a lot when the basement gets wet during the rainy seasons or now, when the snow melt saturates our ground.) It helps pull the moisture out of the air and the basement dries out faster. A large fan also helps dry out the air faster, too.
Don't you live in a hot dry climate? As I recall, Tuscon isn't very humid, but the climate is changing, so that could be changing as well, and I am not as aware since I missed Spring Training the last two years. If it's more about the added humidity from the swamp cooler, that you're worried about, why not move your soaps to another room where a swamp cooler is not in use, and just use a fan in that room? I run a fan in the room I cure my soaps, as our AC doesn't reach our top floor very well. I guess our forced air fans aren't as powerful as they would need to be to get the cooler air up there. But a fan moves the air around and it seems to help with drying up some of the humidity as well.
how did the kids like your paw soaps?

Does anyone know how to make circles in soap other than soap dough?
PJ, here's one. Oversized straws, another. One must be opportunistic, that's for sure ;P
I have a fragrance oil that I use from my own fragrance oil company ( I also sell fragrance oils). I got it when I bought the FO company from another soap lady and she cannot remember where she got the oil from. I am almost out of it but it is the most amazing tutti fruitti fragrance and one of my best sellers in my "Smell the Rainbow" soap which I have pictured here!!.
I have bought other FO's scented "Skittles", "Fruit Slices" etc and they have all discoloured my colours. My oil does not discolour.... my colours stay vibrant.... *sigh* soapmaker frustration here!!!
It's spring training season, finally!
They were a hit Marily, thanks for asking.
That is really beautiful, another amazing soap...She used the Intaglio method, how cool! They are really pretty. She calls it "Schnitz", we call it Intaglio. But soap carving all the same. I like the colorful bits under the white.

I have a mold for spheres but it makes one side a bit flat and of course they are always in the forefront of the cut soap.
