I think they look great...love the colors. As far as your streaks....well....I got them alot when I first started out....I was very impatient. Don't give up...I think your coming along just great!

Ducky....They are wonderful....even the turds.

Great job, girl! I have been dying to try this....you pushed me to do it. Thanks!

Question: What did you use to cut it?

I said it before and I'll say it again.......you were born to soap!

Great job, Ducky!

Awesome swirls!

You've been busy! Simply Beautiful!

Wow....that is gorgeous!

Great job!

Oh that is soooo pretty....I can't wait to give that one a go.....I am in the Whisk swap.

Ducky....Your too funny! You looking for this........

So happy your here, too!

That is awesome and unique. Great job!

Beautiful soap and I just love your dog........

Thanks so much....that is my little man, Maestro. Got three more here too....am going to rotate their pictures so you all get a chance to see them all. :rolleyes2

Thanks everyone.

I have seen them at the Walmart here year round.

Very nice!

Everything looks wonderful...I wanted to dive into that bath butter! I love the labels, too, nice and clean! Great job!

Candle and Candletech Forum Newbie, here, wanting to welcome you!

They all look great....

I think they look awesome!

Thanks so much ladies.

I love them.....very pastel color and Lav is a big fav of mine!

Those are gorgeous! I think they are perfect.

Thanks, that is good to know, since I am very confused. I think I will look into the kit at Peak. As far as reading....I got the instructions down, but I am the type of person who likes to know the "Whys" of things. Sometimes that is a pain...but I like to know all aspects of what I am creating and why it all comes together. KWIM?

Hi Meridith.....So glad to see you here!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes!

I have never used soy wax in soap, but I do use it in lip balm. I use it in place of beeswax. Soy is a softer wax, thus making the lip balm not have as much drag as beeswax. KWIM?

Thanks so much for the suggestions and the links. I am still trying to find my way around here, so please bear with me.

I would like to try my hand at making tealights and votives. I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. I do make wax tarts, using 100% soy wax and I throw in a bit of stearic acid to harden them a tiny bit. I am so clueless when it comes to making candles, oh and the wick sizes and types......just confuses the heck out of me.:rolleyes2

Thank!

Wow, thanks for the great welcomes and compliments!

The second one is a log in a log soap. The pic shows it not trimmed, yet. That was the first one I made, didn't make enough soap for the second pour.:rolleyes2 I love making confetti soaps......gets rid of my ugly soaps. It is scented with Citrus Blackberry from BNL. I love it.

The first one is a GM soap. It is really dark brown, now. That pic was taken when it was first cut. I scented that one with Sandalwood/Vanilla.

Thanks again!
