Jenny I am just in awe of your funnel swirl soaps! They look incredible. I may get the guts to try that sometime soon.
April I think your DIY soap stamps are awesome. How clever of you! Something else I may have to look into.

AprilPrey that is a super idea to use sculpy clay to make stamps. It gives you an advantage to making each one unique! Great job.

Estrelka, I really enjoyed your soaps but may I suggest you take your pics of the soaps and less of the towel and wash puff because I could only see the top half of the soaps. What I saw looked beautiful -- that blue and white was so pretty. My little girl loved the pink, green, orange one.

Wow, I'm trying to learn swirls, but that funnel swirl is amazing. It looks like you make perfect layers in circles. I am in awe of your talent.

Estellka: your soaps are great! I love the 100% coconut soap you made for your brother's birthday too! Is the halo of colour around the soap balls from bleeding colourants? It looks incredible! I can read and speak french, but darn it all I cannot type it so well! Been too many years since I've had a chance to use it. At least now I can read your blog to keep up my french reading skills! <3

Jenny: LOVE that funnel pour, and i enjoyed the video too! Need to get my own peppermint made sometime! I may borrow your idea! <3

April: What a great idea for a soap stamp!!! I may have to try that one myself! I love how your turmeric soap turned out, very rustic! Makes me think of hiking and camping and all of that wonderful nature stuff! Great job!!

thank you to you three!! for the monkey farts soap, I don't know wath happened... my soap had a big "phase de gel", I don't know the english word, it's when your soap become very warm and sometimes makes a volcano. I think it's just before the volacano here! and my soap had become translucent so as you can see the entire ball, that give this halo.

Thank you for the compliments on my Peppermint Funnel Swirl, everybody!

Cetawin, unmolding was easy - it would have been even easier if I hadn't put the liner in backwards, lol! To make the swirls, I just popped a funnel over the opening of the column mold and then poured the soap through the funnel in alternating colors for a count of three each.

And nice soaps, April! I like your stamps.

Thank you everyone for the compliments on my soap stamps! Now if I can just get past a task I've been procrastinating on, a Photoshop job I've already looked at for 50+ hours and am sick of and just need to finish...

I can get back to making new stamps! The Boyfriend found an on-line service that does 3D printing for a reasonable price. I'll have to dust off my Rhino 3D software skills (which were never very good to begin with and try a "real" stamp!

Soapcakes, I love your Halloween soap. All your soaps look great!

Estellka, your soaps are wonderful. The colors you used are gorgeous.

Jenny, your peppermint soap looks like concentric circles. Love it!

April, you did a great job with your stamps. The ivy one is my fave.

Great work everyone!

Oh my...These soaps are simply stunning. Great work everyone.

My Vanilla Raspberry with rose clay and buttermilk. My first attempt at using my column mold from BB. I have to figure out the liner, maybe even trim it because there is a tiny overlap and it left a ridge all the way down and let soap under the liner so I have some rough edges to clean up but I love the mold.







This one is still in the mold but it has an EO/FO blend in it that I have named "Caroline"...it is 10X Orange EO, Lavender EO, Chamomile infused oil, Bergamot and Jasmine. This one also has , Silk,Yellow Silt Clay and Buttermilk.



I will cut it later this evening.

Currently resting and hopefully starting to gel is a Goat Milk, Honey and Oatmeal loaf. It is colored with Micas and I cannot wait to peek at it after it gels.


Such beautiful soaps everyone has been posting and creating. Well done to all of us!

Cetawin, both of those soaps are lovely. Rose clay and buttermilk sounds like such a nice combination, and Caroline sounds positively decadent!
