Looks good!

The cracks in the center look like your candles are cooling too fast. Try pouring cooler next time and see if that corrects some of your issues.

I also agree pick one container and test that. It will make it much easier for you to solve problems as the arise.

Gawd,

I thought she only did it around the holidays! Thanks for the heads up.

WOW! All I can say is WOW. As I shake my head in disbelief.

Ok, now for some more questions. What is the recipe and is it really humid there? Humidity can contribute to DOS but I would like to see your recipe.

What are you curing your soaps on and what are you using to cut them?

Beautiful job as usual Julie!

Where is the lavender from? Is is EO or FO? And the colors could be fading because you may have a little bit of ash going on. Mine sometimes fade when I don't cover the top of my soaps with plastic wrap.

If you wash the top of the soap does the color brighten a little or not?

Very Nice!!

How much are you looking for? I bought some in a co-op and I could spare some if you want to try it.

Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you!! Good luck and let us know what happens.

What does your friend make?

I really am looking for the embossed. I don't want the quilted but Thank you anyways.

tootie you could try a wick that is called a gw-28. This works well for votives using El's wax.

The most that I have seen in my area for consignment is 20%. But I have heard some places depending on your craft can take up to 50%. Yes I know it is wholesale but when each party is happy then I guess who cares. I personally wouldn't do more than 30% but that's me.

I can only find the jelly jars during canning season. I can find the Ball Mason or Kerr canning jars in 16 oz and wide mouths year round at the Walmart, grocers, and dollar stores. Mostly its hard finding jj's off season.

I have the same problem there has to be some place to get them from in the winter months.

Do you have a dollar general there? I got some (I had to go look) two years ago for $8.00 a case. Try there and maybe ask them if they can order them in for you. We are just starting to get these in around here because canning season hasn't started.

Those are beautiful!

I am looking to be able to get these out of canning season. I know that fairway used to carry them and they don't anymore so I am trying to find somewhere to buy them during the winter.

Do you have any big lots in your area? Try there.

anyone know where I can find some?

I always taste questionable oils too, they can smell okay but taste off sometimes.

Kellie,

Not all places sell food grade oils. Some sell them as manufacturing quality, I don't know if that makes a different but I wouldn't be tasting any that have that on the box just in case.

Looks like it is a partial gel.

WOW talk about a blast from the Past. This thread is 3 years old but boy I bet those were wonderful soaps!

I am trying to figure out how I would like to label these. Any ideas?

Also what's everyone pricing them at? Retail and wholesale?

Yeah if they are in another state you are wise not to do it.

Some consignment shops are ready have aggreements so you may not even need one:)
