I was obedient, and indulged myself with a sip of rooibos tea, while I recovered from the “work” of annihilating surplus biscuits, and of rolling about 400 g of soap scraps, with some 10% additional water, into a decent stack of “confetti snowballs”.Make a pot of tea and consume the excess.
Good to see you, Dawni!. I've been wondering where you've been and if you and yours are all in good health.Soapy thing for today is checking in on the forum hehehe
Pssst.. Miss you guys
Cricut?Your Thoughts .
That makes really good sense, Peachy. Yes, I would think how else would you be able to cut the soap...hmmmm. I will say a friend just got some soap that had embedded loofah "chunks" and she says she hates it because it's rough, then smooth then, "oops a bit of loofah just went down the drain."Oh this looks like a fun soap to try. I’m thinking Pre-cut luffa would be easier to cut soap after it sets up’ Your Thoughts .
Yes I'm thinking Pre-Cut loofah & mark on out side of mold as I place the loofa's in round mold as a guage ware to cut after I un-mold it .That makes really good sense, Peachy.

Nicely done.Grrr.... I have to go get ready for work! But I got my router today! I tried a soap made the beginning of May and my challenge soap from 3? Challenges ago... definitely better with cured soap and follow the directions and the arrow for the direction of the soap to go. Lol! I couldn’t wait!

I hate that post, but I read it every time! I’m not a genius, I’ve just memorized it! not really... but you guys are making me laugh! Thanks!O yo shoul, i onl fo humouro effec
Thank you! Bug juice is melt and pour - red & purple mica, acai berry fragrance - super artificial just like the drink@Vicki C How did you get that fabulous color for the "Big Juice" soap? That is stunning! All beautiful soaps.
Wow - all SO beautiful! I especially like the campfire and landscape (and I see the tent - which is perfect). Nicely done and I so enjoyed the write-up. Hope you have a most fantastic time with the gals.I have three friends I went to Girl Scout camp with when I was a teenager - we have stayed in touch and have seen each other through marriages, divorces, births, deaths, life in general. I get to see them this weekend as we are all vaxed. I made camp-themed soaps as gifts for them - L-> R these are S’mores, a carousel that we were able to ride our bikes to (called the “Flying Horses”), a campfire, a landscape with a tent, “bug juice”, and the ocean. Thanks @DeeAnna for the excellent pine tar soap tutorial on your website, the campfire soap is half pine tar and your guidance was a huge help. The ocean is an OPW, tried to copy @The_Phoenix - it’s not exactly the same but I really like it. And thanks @Todd Ziegler and @AliOop for the ZVS recipe, the s’mores has vanilla in it and it would not have looked as good without out that addition! Oh and thanks @glendam for the Christmas tree inspiration. I’d didn’t really work, but the tiny yellow thing is a tent, I tried to emulate your tree idea with the tent.
I have learned a ton in the last six months. This is a supportive and generous community!

@Peachy Clean Soap Definitely pre-slice the loofah. If you search old threads, you will read sad stories about those who put whole loofahs into soap loaves and then could not slice them with anything less than a chain saw.Oh this looks like a fun soap to try.
