What soapy thing have you done today?

[Nonnie]

I'm always impatient trying to wait to bevel and stamp my new soap. I beveled the blackberry Magnolia but didn't stamp. It's still pretty soft and I would squash it. Trying to decide on 2 or 3 more scents to make for upcoming April events. I also played with floral wax melts today. Something out of my norm.

I’m going to try this tomorrow…

Ok - @Mobjack Bay i will never use ultramarines any other way. Why did I think mixing them with oils didn’t work? This was SO MUCH better. The palette knife and oil method works really well - the ultramarines were well dispersed with no clumping.
As an added tip I premixed the oil and ultramarine, put in in a small SS prep cup, then added a small amount of soap batter and blended it well. Then added that back into the batter. Amazing.

It's been hard to keep up with this thread and to post. For some reason, I've been distracted lately. But I love this Forum, it brings balance and good souls and humor and good advice to my life, which I sorely need now. Tusen takk.

So I've started using my Hello Yellow soap that ahem, I'm sure you all remember was THIRD PLACE WINNER in the November challenge, https://www.soapmakingforum.com/thr...-hello-yellow-entry-thread.94185/post-1021451 . I'm enjoying the scent, eucalyptus, fir needle, peppermint, cedarwood, rosemary essential oils.

@Vicki C, I think this is the link for @justsomeguy’s soap mold. The sizes on the website are 7” wide, but other options are in the works and explained further down the page. I have a couple custom craft molds and love them!

I cut my challenge soap last night and, while it's a viable soap, it certainly isn't entry worthy.

You have lots of opportunity to try again, but if you don’t make another scrubby soap, put the one in that you think isn’t challenge worthy to help everyone else look really good! Please?

Actually, if you click on the drop down box, there are some additional sizes available - 12" l, 16" l, 18" l, in case someone's looking for a new mold. They look pricey, but I guess everything is.

I misread the widths in the drop-down menu. I need to discontinue the one medication that is scrambling my brains. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it.

I promise that if I don't have time to make another one, I'll post this one. It's still good soap (I've even tested already and really like it); it just isn't very pretty.

That is my specialty!
I'm branching out though

Yup. That's it. 18x3x3.5. My bad.
