Did anyone make soap this weekend?

Soaping Block these days...am so un-inspired, I think I might need help!

Susan, try subbing an new oil at 10% into your favourite recipe?

Kellie, I was at a business conference over the weekend so I only got some bevelling done. I am making 2 batches today however, my pumice mechanics soap and my 9 Carat Gold facial one with a new eo blend to try out

Susan... I have had soap block for a while... then got inspired only to fall on my face after disaster... hehe... being busy and overly hot has stopped me from doing what I wanted to do but I do think I won't be able to hold off doing something soon... maybe not before my Holidays though... off to Thailand soon...

I so hear you on humidity Kellie! It is absolutely sweltering here! it would also be the same or worse in Thailand but at least the beach will be there too to cool off in...

TC, I am so intrigued by your 9 carat Gold bar... it sounds absolutely devine... i love your idea about subbing one new oil for an old on in a standard recipe... in my breast milk soap i have gone totally off my usual recipe and although the second try bombed the first one came out really nice except for some minor issues... I only ever used olive at 40% before and upped it to 50% in that batch...

I will be staying away from untried colorants sourced locally until i invest in imported trusted ones... I have been told off recently for not using "Natural" ingredients by Spence... The colorant was a big nono for him... he says if you want to make handmade and better soap do it right and natural... Oh well... Have to find a niche somewhere...

Thanks Kellie...!

hehe!... to me they are...

I suppose if I told him they are mineral/clay/ground rock i could maybe get it past him... not sure... aysh!!

I guess we have had soapers block as well (too many good days for boating right now). Billie did break down and make a small log mold batch yesterday. We just went down and cut it this evening, and will take pics tomorrow.

ETA: I have now posted this under the Photo Gallery section.
