Z,

I made my cream soap today and I sent you a PM, I have ???'ss

Thanks!

Sharon

Those are adorable! They look so real, great job!

Where did you find that mold? I have been looking everywhere for one! :undecided

Sharon

Looks good! I can't wait to try it! Will you possibly be around tomorrow to answer any questions? I will be doing this tomorrow afternoon. I have to go get my house cleaned up now, I have lots of kids and parents coming here in a couple hours for prom pictures!

(lucky me! :undecided..lol )

Thanks for doing this class!

Sharon

cottonblossomcrafts also has them. I got some from them through a coop here a few months back and I like them, they were fairly cheap through the coop. Not sure how much they are in small quantities..

Sharon

This has been happening to me a lot as well and its frustrating me! I have started using jojoba oil mixed with my FO to help anchor the scent and some are still dissapearing! I like my soap nice a strong smelling, I'm not sure what else to do. I stopped using much OO in my recipes cause it was hard to cover that scent and my fragrance was dissapearing. I have used several different recipes so I know its not that..

Sharon

Mine came out great. I am very happy with the results.

That looks beautiful! How did you get yours so light in color? Mine came out an amber color like apple juice.

Sharon

Ok yours turned out great. I have 2 stamps from them and have rendered 2 batches unsellable cause the stamp messed it up when I was lifting it back off the soap. I just couldn't get the timing right:angry2:Beautiful soaps, and I like NON.

I've had the same problem with mine. I have some swirlies in my logo and its hard to get it just right! I love it but its frustrating!

Beautiful soaps Z!! Your stamp looks great!! Love it.. I'm the same, on the fence about beveling, I like the look of both and beveling IS so time consuming..Lately I've been leaning more towards non beveled.

Sharon

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one..lol I have about the same about of past left...lol I turned it on low for a bit this morning, thought maybe it didn't get hot enough to dissolve it all. As soon as it cools back down I will take out the rest of the past to dissolve it. Its a nice clear amber color though!

Thanks again Z!!!!

OK, mine is diluting as we speak! I can't wait to see what its looks like in the morning, I hope all those sticky chunky are disolved! So, do you consider this CP LS? Since we are letting it cure.

Thanks Z for such a wonderful class!!!

Sharon

mine looks exactly the same way as everybodies. it sounds like its sizzling! I will do the water test now. Should I turn it down?

Keep it cooking, liquid soap takes at least 3.5 hours, so the soap is not ready yet. Walk about from the soap:pLet's leave it be for half and hour.

Haha, OK, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna burn it.. I am stepping away from the soap pot! For just a bit though..lol:p ....

Mine is now so think you can't stir it anymore and I can barely move it around, could my crockpot be cooking it to hot? Its on high.

Mine reminds me of glue paste like from Kindergarden,,lol :smiley2:

The vaseline stage is a few hours away, but keep stirring every 20 minutes. As long as it does not bubble and run over, you should be ok to leave it for awhile. I personally like to leave it for longer and get other things done in the process.

Thanks Z, should I cover it or leave it uncovered?

Mine is like thick CP trace, I'm just stirrin away. Do I keep doing this until I get the vaseline stage?

Woohoo! I'm gettin there!

Sharon

Mine looks like runny mashed potato's. Is it supposed to look like this and should I continue to SB?

Sharon

Doing good, still stick blending! But i think I am makin progress!

Stick blending...

KOH mixed.. :smiley2:

Oh, I mean I'm here and ready..lol. I'm going to go mix my KOH in a few ..

K, I'm all ready to go!

I better get my stuff out and ready to go. Just have everything pre measured right? I'm in Oregon, so it will be 5:00 for me.. Better get busy.

Sharon

Yay!! I am so excited! I got my KOH and all my oils, I am ready to go!

Sharon

I am going to be ordering some from AAA.

Diamond, do you want to split some with me? I have never ordered form them before. Let me know..

Sharon
