Hear is a soap I created back in 7-5-21 I used "Ginger Tea Water" & Coco De Coconut "sweetened c-milk". notice the bubbles which I think contributed to the bubbles. I'm going for the wings design' or sunglass which ever you see' art is in the eyes of the beholder, as it's stated. colors are Peacock' Full throttle' liquid red' coral' green' & TD. scent is a combo of many but I think the ginger tea is ever so slightly detected. I can't recall who suggested using Ginger tea for more bubbles' but I remember a few of you chimed in believing it does' so had to try' & I gotta agree.

Prepped FOURTEEN batches of soap! 8 pull throughs and 6 for 7.5lb mold. Whew! Very last ingredient perfectly measured all 14 portions. Then realized it was poly80 and not SL!
Well, better now than after a few failed soap!
Tomorrow is a deep clean of the studio before the holiday soap making ensues.

No major soapiness to report today. I did turn my curing soaps (simple pleasure). We just got back from another trip to see my dad and sis. So excited Sis is finally using soap to wash with (what a concept) instead of to decorate with. Nice to re-visit old soaps. Some scents have faded -- BUT the lather is awesome. Long cures are awesometastic!
EDIT: P.S. I checked my calendar and realized 2 soaps were cured so I boxed them. I am absolutely thrilled to use again my all time favorite "Spring Clean" scented with rosemary/lemongrass! Shower time, here I come!

I totally understand @msunnerstood !! I’ve been making labels with my cricut too and just today a friend and I were trying to do that with a label for her daughters baby shower. She’s giving some soap as gifts to the guests. It took us 4 hours to figure it out , mistakes all all!All I wanted today was to make my labels for my Wizard of oz soaps. Sounds simple doesnt it? Yeah, no. I wanted shapes so I had to use the cricut, which was fine until it started cutting the words out even though I flattened the imagine. so off to youtube university to troubleshoot that, got that fixed then discovered my printer wouldnt load my glossy label paper. I had that printer almost totally taken apart when I happened upon a video that mentioned the "Manual Feeder"never knew it had one. Finally got a page to load and my print came out ballooned. couldnt even read the words. An hour later, I figured out I had to turn the allow bleed setting off.
All day making one sheet of labels. I swear if I were rich Id have had them made.
we just finished an hour ago!ETA my daughter bought me a planner so I can organize better. I wrote in it “ plan a day for one label”

All things small. Inherited my grandmother’s hand made Knick Knack shelf that includes TREASURES. Those 
figurines fit into that category!
I’ve been building my stash for awhile.
My soapy experience began yesterday & due to fast trace & not pre-dispersing mica in oil beforehand I ended with a purple polka dot mess. Then when cutting, I had crumbles. 
Only good thing is found a tool I like to bevel edges. Posted ugly photo elsewhere with question about CA.

Great bubbles!So yesterday made my 1st soap in over a month' felt like it was forever. I made a mixture of different mint scents & it smells wonderful, in the soap recipe used coconut milk, goats milk & honey then kicked up the heat' lol "what was i thinking? of course it over heated & cracked, the fisher doesn't look that deep fingers crossed it isn't. As I designed this soap I had in mind trying to replicate a picture that reminds me of an experience from days of yesteryears for our Sept Soap Challenge' looking forward to cutting it' to see how close I got, this will be fun. I may post a picture depending how it looks' the two colors morphed to baby poo' & throw up'praying it morphs back to original colors it was intended, I'm remaining hopeful. It smells great & will have nice bubbles so all is not lost. I'll keep ya'll posted,
Thx for reading my post....
Update: this soap should win "ugly duckling award' but on a positive note as expected it lathers & smells wonderful. It's name is " Bubble Mint" i'm leaving it in big blocks, the oval shape was left over that didn't fit in mold. ok w/ out further ado here it is.
3rd & final update' show the bubbles...

Lucky you, how nice to get something so precious from your granny
I love anything miniature! I go gaga over anything that is made so tiny. (I think I may have a problem, but let us not dwell on that for to long, OK??)
My soapy thing for today is the same as @Zing and that is to
And now I have to go and make dinner. At least I can use my dish soap to wash the pots with afterwards. That is a soapy thing too, right?

A real OT Peche de Vigne soap! The FO smells wonderful, just like peach, and not overbearing at 5%. I love the size of the mold, but need to get the hang of working within the “confined” area, especially with pipe dividers. I made a bit of a mess with drips and drops, but I think it turned out okay. The green will likely be a bit less olive if it morphs back to the planned color.
