    I get 90% of my supplies from Brambleberry. 1) Their customer service is awesome. 2) They have very competitive pricing and a great selection of FO, EO, butters, micas, etc. 3) All of their FO are tested in CP soap (which is very important to me so I know I am not wasting money). 4) They cater to the soapmaker. That was all that they sold until recently they added candle FO and supplies. 5) You only use .5 oz. per lb. of oils with their FO. I am hooked. The only reason why I order from any other place is if they do not have the FO that I want. Good luck in your selection. Jennifer

    It is actually a sugar design (like the ones that they sell in cake decorating stores). The pictures doesn't show it well that it is actually raised and has texture to it. I wanted them to be a bit different and not just colored like most that you see. Thanks for the compliments! Jen

    I am going to re-post using Photobucket tonight. I have had a lot of PM's wanting to see the Citrus Cherry soap. Sorry guys. I do not know why it works for some and not for others that are trying to view. Jennifer

    I just wanted to give you all some encouragement for those that are trying to make rock hard bath bombs.... I have been "trying" for 2 years and have tried many, many recipes. This was my goal this spring to find the perfect recipe so I can sell them this summer. Well, recipe #7 was finally it. I can drop these on the floor and they will not break and I have no issues with cracking or coming out of the mold. Thanks for looking!

    Are you sure that it is liquid and not a partial gel in the center? Sorry for all of the questions, I am just trying to help you figure this out! :smiley2:

    Did you over superfat or did you not stir the FO in well enough? You might want to post your recipe....

    Did you use soap safe FO?
  10. mountainmadness
    They do sell scented water.... It is usually used as water to iron your clothes or used as a sheet spray. All of the ones that I have used have other things in them besides water and FO or EO. I am guessing that it would seize your soap batch. You could always try a small batch and see if it works!

    Best seller: Lemon Peel (my own blend) My favorite: Clean Cotton (Sweetcakes)

    I use the squeeze bottle method when I want pictures in my soap... I do not use it for swirls. I posted a picture on the thread titled Cherries, Cherries, Everywhere... I made the cherries and leaves by placing different colors of soap at light trace in squeeze bottles and then making designs in the soap. It is quite tricky but when you get the hang of it the sky is the limit! I am going to make a lemon batch tonight. Jennifer

    I can see where you were going with your idea. I think that it is really cool. Jennifer

    Can anyone else see them? Or do I need to re-post them?

    My husband bought me two different ones for Christmas stocking stuffers. I have mixed feelings about it too. It was a bit strange but a bit cool at the same time. I have no desire to make it. I would not want the liability if someone clogs their pipes. I was a bit afraid (even though I followed the instructions) to push the drain....

    If it is for CP... I get mine from the following: The Pigment Lady Brambleberry Soap Crafter's HTH. Jennifer

    It must be! They are still there... I didn't delete anything. Jennifer

    Looks like soap to me! Great job! What is the next one going to be? Jennifer

    It can but it shouldn't. What I mean is if you get colored bubbles it means that you have added too much color. If your bubbles are colored then that means that your washcloth and possibly skin (with a lot of use) will be also. Proper coloring and color achievement are two of the most challenging things when making CP soap- IMO. HTH. Jennifer

    I have my first show of the season coming up in March. I want to have more floral than I normally do to be ready for the season and weddings. Peony Petals Thanks for looking! Jennifer

    I have been on a cherry kick lately.... Here are a few new ones. Citrus Cherry Cherry Almond Thanks for looking! Jennifer

    Depends on your marketing... I have done both. It really doesn't seem to matter in my sales. Just be aware that if you cut the soap off of the loaf (CP) that the end that you cut will feel damp even when it is fully cured. It takes about 30 min. for the air to "seal" the fresh cut soap. HTH.

    For Crafts Sake is a company that makes molds, cutters, etc. They have an awesome set for 1 oz. soap bars. It has a block mold, log and bar cutter. Some of us use them to sell to local bed and breakfasts, hotels or for samples. The kit is expensive and OutlandishLady got a spankin' deal!

    I agree with CareBear. I always mix in my kitchen.. just use the precautions and turn on your vent fan for your stove if you need to. I would not leave it unattended. I mix mine in the kitchen and put the containers in my husband's garage sink when they are cooling.

    That is an awesome set and deal! I have one and love it. I need to purchase another mold though so I can have more than one batch made at a time. The really awesome thing is you get 75 bars of soap in one shot! Have fun! Jennifer
