Thank you for finding that! They don't have his size right now but you can always send the soap anyway.

Gorgeous!I’m finally done with a large order of deep space soap for a friend who works at NASA. She was excited about this soap I made for her a couple of years ago and wanted me to make the soap last year, but didn‘t ask until Dec. This year she asked me in July. I told her I could do it as long as she didn’t expect the batches to be the same. That gave me the leeway to try some new things, like adding grated salt soap for stars, which I won’t do again because it looks like stearic spots (#1), adding TD stars, using different proportions of colors and different color schemes. All of the batches were made in a slab mold, except #4, which was made in a T&S loaf mold. The simple ITP swirl with an embed in a loaf mold was the easiest batch to make, by far, but to me the feel is not quite like the others (or is that just in my head?). I hope you like them!

It would seem you found your niche! These are all aaahhhmAziiing!I have another order for 48 Deep Space soaps. Apparently the folks at the local NASA facility love sparkly (“the more sparkly, the better”), so I’ve been playing around with various techniques. From left to right: 1) TD in water spatters; 2) ecoglitter sprinkled on the wet soap,TD plus a little red mica as splatters, red mica in alcohol meteor, gas clouds made by layering TD in water and red mica in alcohol using a q-tip; 3) mica in oil drops and drizzles on wet soap, then sprinkled with gold mica before it went to bed. I used steam to set the mica that I added after the soap was cut into bars, and can see that the red mica/TD mix spread a bit. I’m making what I hope will be the last batch today and plan to add mica in oil (and maybe some glitter, too) to the batter for a drop swirl with the hopes of getting some sparkly into the body of the soap. I recently watched someone on IG do it for a peacock swirl, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. It may not matter that much because I’m pretty sure that some of these folks are keeping the soap on their desk as a curiosity.
