I want one if it can erase pencil

[–] usernameless@piefed.social 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oh nice. I miss making cold process soap, maybe I'll start again. Very pretty color combo!

Consider this your sign to get back into it!

I was so distracted, at first I thought it was a cell phone.

I’d almost feel guilty soaping my asscrack up with those.

[–] TheArtfulLlama@lemmy.zip 23 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I’m sure the maggots in your asscrack would appreciate it! And I can always make more!

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Bubble foam party

Why are you making more maggots for their ass crack? That's fucked up, dude.

This is beautiful. Excellent effect! How’d you get that? Is it like wax, ie you have a bit of time before it sets to make swirly patterns?

Edit: have just found many more amazing designs on your page. But you don’t ship to the UK! Argh.

[–] TheArtfulLlama@lemmy.zip 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you! So the way soap is made via the cold process method (the method I use) is where you blend lye water and oils together into something that can be as thin as melted ice cream or as thick as like pudding (as long as it’s emulsified together it’s fine but runnier “soap batter” gives you more time to work with it!). For this one it’s a technique called the “One Pot Wonder” and I actually recorded the process!

I also did turn on international shipping on my Etsy! It can be quite expensive and some people were complaining but Etsy sets the shipping prices and I am but a humble soap maker with no say in that 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Hah! Just watched the video. So it looks like you won’t have a real idea how it’s exactly going to turn out - looking at the method. It must be a nice surprise with each slice of a batch.

[–] TheArtfulLlama@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! That’s the fun of making bar soap, you don’t know how it’ll turn out and each loaf made is entirely unique and different!

And another bonus is your home always smells nice!

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Thought so! Like a Bob Ross happy accident. 😊 Thanks again.

Thank you! I’ll definitely crosspost! I’m new to the platform so I’m still figuring things out 😊

Wow, those are some intense colors, having them mixed looks awesome!

Lemongrass and Sage! Not very tasty but smells wonderful!

[–] Vlyn@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Those are way too pretty to use D:

[–] TheArtfulLlama@lemmy.zip 3 points 13 hours ago

Please use them! I can always make more!

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 12 hours ago

Noone is too pretty to use D!

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Very cool effect. 7 year old me would take a bite

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Reminds me of a friends business. I had a hand in making 3d templates for a few of the molds. Though yours are definitely a bit more vibrant and neon heh.

[–] TheArtfulLlama@lemmy.zip 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Oh those are cool! Love the aesthetic!

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 5 points 16 hours ago

It's certainly a favorite among the goth crowd as well LOL. She had a booth set up a couple weeks ago at the red party in NYC. And she and some of her friends will have a booth set up for dark Forces Fest as well coming up. I don't know how she manages to do all of them by hand in her tiny apartment. She's worse about having open counter space than I am and I am horrible.

[–] smaximov@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Looks tasty.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 17 hours ago

Very fun color combination, it gives me big Nerf energy.

[–] Ertain@feddit.online 5 points 16 hours ago

That's some nice looking soap.
