    I'm a FOHO & proud of it!!!

    Don't like bakery/food scents in any B&B product, but they're GREAT in candles :)

    I've used both black oxide & black clay. Either one works. The trick to this is to use mostly clear mp with just a small bit of opaque. Otherwise you'll end up with a pastel color because of the TD. I learned this trick from pjsoaps website. You can also get some really nice dark reds, greens, or blues this way. Here's the link if you're interested. http://www.pjsoaps.com/1TipsTricks.html

    Good to know. Thanks.

    What about fonts? For example, using one that comes with your PC for biz name? Is that legal?

    Ditto! The colors & swirls are beautiful.

    That makes sense. I have dry skin w/oily T-zone. I'm thinking maybe apply only to that area at least once a week to control shine. We'll see how that goes. I'll have to test various clays to see which one I like best. Should take me at least 6 months LOL!

    It works. Pour your layer(s) thin and roll while the soap is still slightly warm but set up. Maybe wear rubber gloves to keep fingerprints from it.

    These recipes are fantastic. Thanks. I bought some clays from the co-op and have no idea what to do with them. I did make a mask for myself with the Australian Pink since I read it's good for mature skin and find that I have less shine at the end of the day. Anyone know sure how often a mask can be applied? Once a week or more often?

    Don't really like the new one. I liked that everything was all on 1 page as opposed to MMS & others. Think I'll stick to the old one. Good thing I saved it on my computer.

    Welcome and have fun

    Good for you. Soon you'll have more soap than you and your family can use.

    So how did it go? And welcome to your new addiction

    Eileen, if you're interested, here's my method. Since I'm horrible at math, I like to keep it simple. I create my "bees bar" at 50% beeswax, 25% butters, 25% oils. I cut it into 1 oz & .5 oz pieces. This way I know more or less what I'm using instead of measuring tablesp & cups. 1 oz piece = .5 oz bees, .25 oz butter, .25 oz oils .5 oz piece = .25 oz bees, .125 oz butter, .125 oz oils
