The bright colored ones are defined toward the middle, but by my preferences, quite muddy on the edges. I’m actually going to use the same two plates tomorrow. They’re both new. One purchased, one was a gift. I got the plates where I got all my pull through tools from Wildplantanica.com she just started a YouTube page too.
That's it! The first batch took awhile with 5 layers and mica lines so yes, the other batch of oil and lye liquid was cooling off. See, that's why I come here!
Uh, nice try. I see through your wily ways!
LOL. To my credit, I will never ever soap UI.I just figured out what you meant by SUI lol. I do that all the time. I think i am more creative sometimes
You're the best! Thanks for reminding me of one of my faves. Good night good friends!
EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT!!I come here for reassurance. TELL ME EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT!!
Of course, now all I'll be thinking about tomorrow is Mrs. Zing's Christmas cookies! LOL
Everything gonna be all right'I come here for reassurance. I soaped today! I loved my recent alternating-wall-pour and this time decided to use both my 10" and 8" molds. So. Much. Math. I made one batch of melted oils and one batch of lye liquid. For the first batch, I weighed and poured oils and added lye liquid -- so stressful to not go over! -- and blended/colored/layered one batch before doing the second mold. I thought I'd save on dishes but I think next time I'll just do two separate batches. I soaped at medium trace and I knew if I was pouring into two separate molds at once, my batter eventually would have been cement.
Always am angsty until the cut but now I'm even more angsty because the second batter seemed a different consistency than the first batter and I'm wondering if I didn't stir the oils enough. Now the wait.... TELL ME EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT!!
As a social services administrator, just another plug for the donation suggestion -- military, food pantry, or shelter! And, @AliOop , the Matthew quote is my absolute favorite verse.
I'm just a hobbyist but up until recently my entire basement was full of soap. Now after gift-giving it's looking bare! It's a weird feeling, like I know my soap has gone to good homes but still.... Mrs. Zing must feel the same way with her ever-shrinking supply of Christmas cookies.
I vote we add the following to the acronym thread:I just figured out what you meant by SUI lol. I do that all the time. I think i am more creative sometimes
GO TO BED!
Good question! Best to post this in it's own thread. It will get buried here and not everyone reads this thread.
Which plate did you use for the bright coloured one? I have 5 new photos lates here and wondered if I have the same one
That plate is a custom design I ordered from wildplantanica.comWhich plate did you use for the bright coloured one? I have 5 new photos lates here and wondered if I have the same one
Just wondering, Have you tried Comfort & Joy from Nurture Soap. It's a holiday scent that is quite fruity. I think it's my favorite, but I keep saying that! So it's up there on my list anyway.
I love your pipe divider swirl! That's what I did yesterday, too, and my results were... less than stellar. I may go back to just swirling colors on the top, which usually turns out very well for me (and it requires NO MATH).
That looks fantastic! I've been wanting to try the lollipop swirl soon, but you've set the bar really high.
omg those are absolutely adorable!!!! Good luck on the Soap Challenge. I think you have a winner there!!
