I read your posts like this and I get so jealous. I'm still using boxes for molds but I have some BIG plans to someday buy a real mold. someday shoot I sound like a disney song lol

They both look wonderful and the chocolate looks yummy enough to eat. It is a wonderful addiction, I haven't been able to make soap in weeks so I'm planning a weekend of it. It's nice to hear when a couple are both addicted. Donna

I love the color combo. I think they're wonderful.

I love those, they are so cute and different. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Beautiful.....I wish I could get my soap to look like that. Thanks for sharing.

Can you send your little helpers my way I could sure use some lessons on swirling lol. Your soap looks great.

How about getting another presto pot for melting your hard oils in or a crockpot? To be honest I use my crockpot, as I weigh out my oils and butters I put them in the crock pot to melt and put my liquid oils in another bowl. After I have all my butters and solids melted I turn the crock pot off and add this to my bowl of cool liquid oils it helps to cool my melted oils back down to the right temp for adding my lye water. Since you already have electricity in shop it would be an easy fix. I work in my kitchen but have never used my stove it works for me. HTH

I used pink with a touch of blue and I really thought I had blown it because when I put it in the soap it morphed to a very bright purple but a couple days later the color morphed again and really surprised me.

I think they're wonderful isn't it amazing the things we come up with when it doesn't go the way we have it planned and we have to think fast and do it a different way.

Thank you so much. I beat myself up about my soaps and candles I guess when they don't look like the picture I have in my head I get disapointed I guess we all do that. I have really been suprised at how well my whole family likes my soap I barely get to let it set long enough to dry out before they want more. They have all stopped buying soap at the store and say they don't feel all dry and itchy any more so I guess this little hobby of mine is a good thing. They have all been telling they're friends about my soap and everyone wants some but I am a little timid just yet of selling to any one. I know what everyone in my family are allergic to so I know what to avoid but with others I don't have that luxury and I can't help but worry about it. I did agree to let the doctor my daughter works for use my soap because his hands are horrible from washing his hands all day and he took a bar home to his wife and she likes it too. But even that made me nervous I made sure he wasn't allergis to peanuts or latex first, until I started researching before making soap I didn't know that people who are allergic to peanuts and latex can possibly have a nasty reaction to shea. Maybe I worry too much lol. I think I'd rather worry to much than just throw my stuff out there and not be concerned about others but I don't think I could face myself in the mirror if I did that. Ok I'm prattling lmao I think it's old age that makes me do that yeah I'll stick with that it's my old age

If the grinder would grind it then the sausage extruder would prolly work to extrude it but it would be awful small in diameter. Just a thought. Seems like ever since I started making candles and soaps I think of the weirdest things and apply it to the craft and see everything as a possible mold. I think I have a problem.

I like the purple. I have been wanting to try melt and pour.

This is several batches I have done in the last few weeks some is ok and some were train wrecks. I guess the mean nasty hateful soap faries have decided to homestead at my apartment but I'm moving in a few weeks and gonna try my best to leave them here lol The first one I made last night it's cpop with green oxide and lime EO The second picture is the same batch but I pulled this out and did something different with the swirl and the little rounds in the back was some that wouldn't fit in the mold so I dumped it in a mailing tube. The third batch is CP Strawberry creme that I pulled out and didn't allow to jell before doing the rest of the batch in the crock pot The fourth batch was the crock pot portion in the pot swirl and of course ugly brown. The fifth one is a cp batch that was going to be Island Mango but I forgot the FO The sixth one is showing some that I rebatched and added the Island Mango FO it was poured into a mailing tube for a mold The last one is actually the second time I tried to do an Strawberry creme but it turned brown when it jelled yuck

I love it, and I love mango my bottle of island mango is almost gone and makes me sad. Kudos

If I ever get just 1 batch of soap to look like one of those it would take days to pull me off cloud nine. If this is the result of soap faries please please please send me one.

I think it's cool and would love it if I had made it. It looks like a leopard print to me.

I told you, you could do it lol kudos

If this is what you get when you can't sleep I have got to try it lol. I can't wait to see cut pics.

wow now that is really wild , but I actually like the way it looks. Reminds me of lace or spider web. Thanks for snapping the pics and sharing.

I love the colors and the way you did your layers very nice

Veeery pretty love the colors
