What soapy thing have you done today?

[lenarenee]

I was able to rescue the top from the lid. I was still soft so I was able to reattach it (for the most part). I'll have to see how the embeds do because I didn't realize that MP can 'sweat' until someone mentioned it to me yesterday. So we'll see how it holds up. I had a LOT of fun with this one! It means so much to have you guys all say that you think it's good. Thanks for all you do!!!

That's a brilliant job Julie - so happy and bubbly (like your personality, or at least the impression I have of your personality)!

Did the embeds stay where you put them? I'm trying to imagine how thick the white batter had to be...

You are such a sweetheart! I was thrilled with my batter
because it was superthin been able to soap with superthin batter. But, because of how thin it was, my embeds jumped all over the place. This recipe is a keeper for swirls, but for embeds? I think I need a stronger stick blender!

I tried to almost double my batch of goat's milk, oatmeal & honey in the tube molds. I missed by a few ounces, but it's all good, I'll make it again. 78 ounces of base oils instead of 73 should do it.

I'm waiting on supplies (still). So in the meantime, since I can't make soap, I'm editing product photos and designing labels. I also will be reorganizing my FO and other supplies on my shelves. I wanna make soap darn it!

I finally made sticker logos and bought some cute ribbons and black pipe cleaners...trying to figure out gift packaging my soaps. I'm hoping to attempt a soap cake tonight.

Determined to start milk soaps for the first time. For some reason find this intimidating, but just bought some good no-additive coconut milk, and am going to take the plunge. May spend several hours researching though, that is always a good procrastination technique the easily intimidated

Milk soaps got me to switch from hp to cp. They are easier than you think. I typically do full 100% liquid swap and I've only messed up a few out of dozens. If I can do it, you certainly can!

No soaping for me still - but my exam is Friday morning so I know what I'm doing Friday afternoon!!!

Here's some cuppacake soapies I made!!! they smell so so delicious too

 

[skayc1]

I shopped on ebay for a heat gun to shrink wrap my soaps, & ordered from brambleberry!

Your cupcakes look delicious, Bubbles! Keep those away from kids, there are going to be some missing bites and woebegone faces otherwise Maybe some silly grownups who, ahem, have been know to take a bit before looking too closely

ahh yes....the kiddos know that anything on a rack or in the dining room is off limits....but everyone eagerly awaits the creations I make...they were all anxious to see how they turn out every time.

My oils showed up finally so I got to make soap this afternoon! Just finished as a matter of fact. I'm not going to lie, this design is a duplicate of the one from Soap Queen because I loved her design and wanted to try it out, so props to Ann Marie! The design is hers but the recipe is mine and is palm free with oo, co, shea butter, rice bran, and avocado. It's scented with Iced Tea Twist by WSP. I call it Lemon Poppy Tea.

I didn't quite make enough to fill two of my tube molds, and this picture is mainly a play on sunlight and shadows, but I got 25 bars out of the 'double' batch I made. Gotta up it to a full 80 ounces I guess. I call this GMOH, stands for goat's milk, oatmeal & honey.

I have a mess in a round mold LOL. I started out with a nice in the pot swirl with white, pink clay, green clay and some gold mica lines. Well realized I forgot my fragrance and ended up just mixing it together. I added a few more mica lines. Will see how it looks when I cut it open. At least it smells like thee baby powder it was supposed to

 

[FlybyStardancer]

Wasn't so much today, buuuut... Monday I remade a soap I attempted and failed at Saturday, Tuesday I made a chocolate-themed soap, and then yesterday I cut and beveled them. The chocolate soap is still very different than what I expected... So far there hasn't been any vanillin darkening (despite being a high-vanillin FO), and for one of the colors I used a green mica that's SUPPOSED to morph orange in CP and has every time I've used it... Well, it decided to change its mind this time and is still a pale green. Bah.

I finally braved the loaf mold. Hubs never could get good results with it, so he bought silicone bar molds. I've gotten comfortable enough with basic soap and I wanted to try an ITP swirl. I unmolded it this morning and cut it.

I'm hooked, so I just ordered colors from Nurture. This was one of the Fun colors from NG.

 

[not_ally]

How fun was that?! I love cutting into a new swirled loaf and getting to see what lies within.

 

[traderbren]

I enjoyed it so much, I made another loaf today, and tried the second color poured into the mold on top (linear swirling?). My colored batter was a bit too thick, so I have no clue how pretty it will turn out. I'm also smelling piggy in it right now, and hoping I used enough FO to stick. I used 1oz in my 2lb (oil weight) loaf. I think my nose is just being sensitive today.

I made soap!! Been revising for weeks, time for fun!!
