Oil or water dispersed? I am so sorry for hijacking this thread. perhaps we should continue this in a new post? TAS

your so sweet. I have some oxides that I bought from Melbo's coop. Maybe I am just not using enough? I read all these posts that said you just need a little. So maybe I need a lot? TAS

TY! TAS

I have a severe case of envy (the good kind). How do you get your soap so white? And that pink -- my MIL is still waiting for pink soap (her favorite color). My pink oxide is puny colored. Over all Olympic All Star Soap. (O-ASS - HA!) TAS

Just fabulous. I am interested in purchasing as well. Please PM me. Thanks TAS

Faye those are great looking soapies Couple of questions - what is Vanilla stabilizer? What did you use to color your Ginger Appletini? Just lovely? TAS

I just looked at your soap again Kristy. *soap porn approval* TAS

how about bleeding onto the wash cloth? TAS

When I use beer or wine in a batch of CP I do the following: 1. take the beer or wine to just boiling point then cool it off. this kills the head (if you know what I mean) 2. After it is cooled I take it and freeze it in ice trays. 3. You want to keep the beer and lye cool as you mix your lye into the beer. Get at a larger container, like one of those plastic bins that fit into your sink, put in plain H2O ice cubes and water in it. 4. Then I take about 2/3's of the frozen beer cubes and put them into the container that I will be mixing my lye into. These frozen beer cubes need to get slushy. You can zap them on defrost but don't melt them down, just get them soft. 5. Then put your slushy beer container into the ice water bath. The ice water will help keep it cool. Work over your sink just in case it misbehaves. 6. Then I add the lye to the slushy beer - maybe a 1/4 of the lye - to the slushy cubes and stir gently until the lye is dissolved. Once that portion of the lye is dissolved I add a beer cube or two and then add more lye. Just keep stirring until you have incorporated all the lye and it is dissolved. The lye-liquid will probably still be too hot to soap with immediately but it will cool down. Just remember to stir it and check temps while you are waiting for it to arrive at the temp. you desire.

Classic! TAS

SF gave you all the right "moves" and OMG that pic of her soap makes me go weak in the knees. Go forth and create and then post a pic here so we can applaud. TAS

Vibrant and gorgeous swirls. I have severe swirl envy... TAS
