  1. That looks like fun! Time to grab some oils & butters. Thanks for the inspiration Brenda
  2. OMG Grumpy...that husband needs to steer clear when you're soaping! :lipsrseal That soap is just amazingly beautiful and I'm sure there is another award winner in your near future!!
  3. Again....just beautiful. Your layering turned out awsome for a first try. Very impressive
  4. Mustard? Who woulda thunk it....very, very nice soap!
  5. That soap makes me wish I had joined a swap!
  6. Great mode to be in! That is some bea-u-tiful soap.
  7. I don't know what base you use, but I cannot imagine that it sat too long. Get out your samari (sp) sword! He-iii-ye! It'll cut!
  8. LOL Janis...I'm going to remember that one!
  9. Thank you ladies! Might as well give it a go! Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
  10. What wax/additives are you using? That makes all the difference in the world.
  11. I agree with the kinda sorta thought. Thats why I went from M&P to CP....I had to have that swril. This might be what Grumpy was talkin about http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16781 or read this http://www.soapdishforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3253
  12. I've used one of WYW oils and yes it was very strong, and you can use less oil per lb of wax, BUT, to throw in a hitch....there are MANY suppliers out there that carry oils that throw well at lower percentages that don't cost nearly as much. The type of wax and wick you use will also determine how well a certain FO will throw at lower percentages. You can spend top dollar on fragrances, but if your wax & wick combo is incorrect you won't get diddly squat for throw. Start with the basics before you start spending big $$ on Fo's! Get your starter kit and take it slow is my best advise! Good luck and welcome to CT
  13. Peak's Asian Sandalwood? I've checked the "Scents that Rock in CP" thread, but it wasn't listed. Just curious if anyone knows how this does. Thx:D
  14. You would need to know the total of ounces that you want to make. Like this Total batch=24 oz. If an ingredient is 4% then you just get your handy dandy calculator and do 24 (total weight) X .04 and so on with the rest of your ingredients. HTH
  15. Experience and a quality product. Without that you will never have repeat customers. Tess All I can really say is, Candlemaking is not a get rich quick, easy extra money making "project", ESPECIALLY for kids Ditto that!
  16. When I grow up I want to swirl like you! Also, I like the look of your labels....your style seems very original and is pleasing to the eye (nice & easy to read)
  17. Peak's Midsummer Night is awsome.....good and strong and you can use less oil so it's a real money saver! Edited to add....Yes it is a Drakkar dupe...
