Soap Makers Help!

That's too cool. Please tell me you scented it with Dragon's Blood FO!

Don't have any. DH wants me to buy most of my supplies with my soap money. I haven't had enough because my stupid dog cost me more then I thought it would. So the money went to the dog. Instead it is scented with raspberry. I figured I would call it something like "Dragon Berry". Just working with what I have

I picked up some MP and colored it and very carefully poured it in first. I suprised myself that I didn't go over. I used BirdBrain's soap recipe that she posted. I also made brocade flowers but without the MP. They came out pretty good after fighting with it for a while. I'll have to take pics of those to.

WOW!! Your bar looks perfect! I have never done anything like that.

Thanks
I was trying to figure out what to do with that mold since I hadn't used it yet. I didn't think it would turn out to honest. And it was a PAIN to get out. I thought I was going to have to cut the mold to get it out.

My SIL got it for me. It looks nice but I knew it would be a pain.

Awesome bar! A mint scent would go nicely too I think, or bamboo and sugar cane.

I'm making rosemary and peppermint right now. I did lavender and rosemary yesteday.

I finally got my package from BB on friday. So I have a lot of soaping to do. I'll post more on monday. I wan't to take pictures of my new Breakfast bars and show y'all my new set up. I just love the new shelves!

I'm all out of Castor Oil, so I'm about to make another order to Soaper's Choice. What else should I get to go with it? I already have Coconut, Palm, Avocado, Grapeseed, vegetable, and Olive. I'm getting shea butter from a fellow soaper (you know who you are!). What else would be good?

I also need to make a fragrance order. Thanks for the vanilla suggestions, Ninja and MP. What else sells well?

I have several hundred dollars worth of sales pending and need to do some serious soaping to get my supply up!

I am loving Rice Bran oil. I use it in all my recipes now and can tell a difference in soap with RBO and soybean oil. And it is a cheaper oil.

You will love the shea butter too.

I prefer Almond oil to avocado oil my self.

I want to try palm kernal flakes but CF only sells it in 50# boxes so I haven't yet.

Where are you going to order your Fragrances from? I *love* Brambleberry's Lemon Verbena. I soaped some this morning at six and my whole house jusr smells great. It is very lemony with a little sweetness and a slight floral note. But I love citrus scents. I did a rosemary and peppermint scent after MP said she did that combo and it is really really nice too. For a 4 # batch I did 1.5 ounces of rosemary eo and .5 oz peppermint eo. You really smell the peppermint so next time I might drop that down to .30 oz.
Cucumber Melon has been a favorite of everyone. I used BB's Cybilla line for that one.

I get so excited talking about this. I know hubby gets that look when I start talking soap, must be the same one I get when he starts talking motors, lol.
