[Jennifer Horne]

[SoapySuds]

I'm contemplating a full black soap. But then I'm thinking - what fragrance will I use?? I want something that smells 'appropriate' for a black soap, but i don't like tea tree/ eucalyptus type smells. I've done anise, I've done black currant absinthe, and i want something different. Any ideas? The winning idea will be in my soap pot tomorrow

don't have any plans for soap today--I just crawled out of bed 1/2 hour ago but while I was waiting for my coffee to brew I got my soap dishes done. now I wanna make soap--but I need to keep telling myself its dehydrated apple day today

Maybe you can soap with the apples when they are done!!!!

I am having a discouraging soapy day. I have been looking for fall/winter festivals, markets, etc and they’re all already booked up with soapers.

Waah! I want to see the original! @Dawni edited!

Haha stoopid autocorrect..

that stinks--how do you find your markets. I googled in my area and found a site with a bunch of them on them--I haven't checked them out yet though

oh no people wouldn't be happy with me if I did that hahaha--they are waiting for my apples to eat

You're not selling it to me...

Not selling it to you, as in you would never purchase something that was tobacco and black pepper......or I need to work a little harder with my sales pitch for this combo? I will assume the latter and give it a go.

I do not have tobacco fragrance, so I can't say it is good, but the tobacco scents seem to be quite popular when I have been fragrance shopping online (I plan to try one soon, although I live in Canada so I have very little to choose from compared to the US) I am imagining something similar to the pipe my dad smoked when I was young....sweetly smokey. And black pepper essential oil I do have. LOVE it! I often add some to my mixes and I have yet to find a cross I don't like it with. I think that the two might cross nicely with one another....you never know.

My next one will be Tabac & Leather

Oooohhh... let me know how that turns out. I'm looking for the replacement for WSP's version.

Do you like florals? You could do any floral, add a deeper base note and call it "black" or "midnight". For example: "Black Rose" or "Midnight Rose".

I was not extremely creative - I used "black" raspberry vanilla .

AAAnd voila finally no soda ash, nice lines, fine cut. I am pleased I am happy that there is a place where I can share my soapy moments

You assumed correctly and I must say you gave it a good shot. I just don't have those scents in my cupboard.

These are great ideas - I might just do that thank you.

I went to a market last weekend and there were lots of soapers - but I was the only one that was palm-free so at least I had a point of difference.

AND - i have just figured out how to do multiple quotes in one post! It's only taken me 11 months!

 

[Martha]

I made soap again after many, many months. I’m playing around with different pours, but am still not 100% happy with my colors. The blue mica (cp approved mica) was way too subtle for me. But overall I’m very happy with these results.

 

[Ashleigh]

I've been in discussion with a potential customer today about doing 50 gift bags for a holiday party. I've sent her some sample ideas of what I could do and really hope it works out. It's very exciting for me since I only just started selling

Yeahhh, one less persons posts I have to merge, that's all I do lately .

I have been wondering how to get the multiple quotes too, as I did comment on two people's pictures yesterday. When I looked at it again, I saw both of my comments were on one post and I genuinely thought that it must just automatically do it when you post two times in a row! lol Opps! I still have no clue how to do it, but I will figure it out as I don't like making more work for anyone!!! Sorry!

Yep, I'm the auotomatic merger . All you do is click the quote button on each persons post you want to reply to. So, the first person you quote, then write want you want to say to them, don't hit post reply, then you do the same again with multiple people until you have finished then hit post reply.

See Relle’s post 13,545, a few posts up for the instructions.

@Adobehead - on the same wavelength... here’s a patchouli scented soap I made a few weeks ago when Hurricane Dorian was heading for the US east coast. I’m calling it “Eye of the Storm.”
