I don't know where I have been lately but I saw a new (to me) product called soy beads. They were colored and in a nice bath salt tube. Several scents were available. Looked real nice. Thought I would try them but don't know how to make. Anyone see these yet. They use them like a tart.

Sounds like a great receipe. Will have to give it a try! Love your swirls.....

That is so cool! love your pillar and votives. Very pretty.

Those are beautiful pillars. I would love the rusic look and just can't get it with my palm. Do you mind if I ask what wax you used?

Is that Country Apple scent from NG ? I just ordered that one. It sounds wonderful! Your soap looks great!

This isn't a scrub but a moisturizer (sp) right? It looks wonderful! I looked in the receipe section and found the thread with the receipe. Looks easy and fun. Did it stay fluffy?

Got it made. Thanks for all your help. I will post pics when cut. Used no color, just plain soap but wanted to used my new Frank and Myrh (sp). Think I liked MMS seperate scents combined better. Will know more when it's cut.

I think I am figuring out how to do it. Got to say MMS is alot easier but this one has more functions.

I was just looking at that one. I feel like it's in Spanish or something. Which one do I use to find out how much lye to use? It looks confusing to me..

I am trying to run it through the calc but don't know where to put the veg shorting. I use MMS. Making a 60 oz batch to keep the #'s even. Want to make it with my new F&M from SW. Thanks...

I am so envious of you! I love to make cp soap but will never get such nice looking bars as you!

I use PQ for my votives when I'm not using my EL votive wax. I didn't find it that hard. I wicked it with a CD 12 and poured at about 150. I did get some holes a few times but not enough to worry. I don't think you can get it any more?

That looks great! Do you have any trouble with the texture staying fluffy like it is in the picture. I made some sugar scrub once. Whipped it for 2 hours. Fluffy like whipped cream at first, after a few months all condensed into a sugar ball!

I have had about 3 batches do that to me now! I think it has something to do with me wanting to use GM in my receipe. I was just fine when I just used a water or tea or coffee. Think I will go back to what worked best for me. A seize is no fun! Nor is it very pretty!

Good heavens! I am not used to seeing my soap on here. I sure picked some off shaped bars to show you guys! I use a Keilsi mold and I always have wavey tops. Any hints on smooth ones?

Don't know how edit my first post and add the picture to that so I will just put it here. I don't take great pics of my soap. It turned out beige with a faint and I do mean faint swirl of green. I am just starting to try swirls. It looks good and firm. The scent is Juniper Breeze. Smells so fresh!

This is my pumpkin pie scented soap. It seized up like crazy and I had to actually had so scoop with my rubber gloves to get in in the mold and level with my hands. I used Peaks sweet pumpkin spice. Nice scent! no added color just the added spice and pumpkin pie filling. I will try again with more water.

I had batch do the oozing thing but it usually had honey and milk in it. I didn't know that you should not insulate it. Can't wait to try that receipe again. It was the nicest lather!

That is so cool looking! I love round soap. It feels so good in your hand when your using it.

That would be great! I have been making alot of soap for the shows comming up. Getting a late start but life has kept me really busy! Feels great to be making soap again! ( you can pm me if you like ) Thanks.

Thanks guys! Will post pics when unmolded.

I love dark soaps! I think pics should come with receipes!

I use a keilsi (sp) mold. Do I just leave it butt naked? I took the towels off. Thanks for the quick response!

Need help fast if possible. I have some goats milk cp on the bench now and I have it insulated. Is that the right thing to do? I heard it can become overheated or is that just when you have honey in it too?

What a talented man you have there! It makes a great presentation for your soap!
