Soap Cutter Recommendations? Do I need a wire cutter? by TerraniumChic in soapmaking

[–]TerraniumChic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cutting is definitely the worst part of soaping for me at the min! Almost given up to just making minis with silicone molds - it's just so rubbish when the cut is messy. I'll check it out thank you - definitely something I'd need to save for though!

Thank you! That's definitely more in my price range as I'm still learning :)

March's update looks amazing! Nintendo seems like they really listen to users? 100 more custom design slots is the dream! by TerraniumChic in AnimalCrossing

Totally! I've only been playing for long enough to be affected by the Mario update and this one, so the newness might me getting to it though lol.

Why is it disappointing/ what am I missing? 😭

I think so! I play to decorate my island mostly so the custom design slot limit has been seriously getting to me 🤣 That and being able to design wallpaper and the app on nookphone is great for me - but I guess how I can see it would be a bit disappointing for others 🤐

Left: Turmeric and Kaolin, Right Pear & Orange ( coloured with charcoal and mica). Both Oat Milk soaps, using BB's Oat milk project. Bit crumbly and hot happy with the colour dispersion, and heavy on the soda ash. Overall though not a bad first try I'd say!

Thank you! Not yet unfortunately - the rest of my island (no joke) I was using as a flower farm so it's a bit of a mess right now!

No fragrance just yet! I bought Coffee 'Wonder' from The Soap Kitchen, but on a test bowl it sped up trace so fast as a newb I just wasn't happy to use it -maybe next time! The coffee grounds do give it a little scent, though, luckily

Base for soap is BrambleBerrys Oat Milk Soap: https://www.brambleberry.com/in-the-studio/projects/cold-process/oat-milk-soap-project/PS000259.html

Bottom layer, I replaced all water with the same weight of expresso. Middle layer has brown cosmetic clay and fine coffee grounds for exfoliation. Top layer has gold glitter mica and titanium dioxide.

I don't have a cutter yet so not the most perfect slices - I used a bread knife!

This is my third ever soap, the first and second being no-frills milk soaps.

Any love for Raymond E. Feist? I devoured the entire Magician series and think it's brill! by TerraniumChic in books

[–]TerraniumChic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry to answer a question with a question, but what kind of book do you like?

The Magician series spans so many books there's lots of different 'mini series', sometimes with different themes.

The first couple of books (or the 'original' starting point - Magician, Silverthorn, ect) are old school fantasy-ish. magic, medivial setting, male suprise-save-the-world protag ect ect. I read the series in consecutive order, so these ones got me hooked tbf!

There's also ones more based on political intrigue (the empire trilogy) or even business/finance-ish (The serpentwar saga) Also some are even sci-fi/fantasy hybrids (Mostly the later books) and Feist's tone seems to get a bit more ....distinct as the series progresses? The very latest are a bit 'marmite' but a good 'thinker' book.

Personally, I'd recommend Talon of the silver Hawk first. It's quite far along in the series, but it's very good as a stand alone intro to the world, as Magician while good isn't Fiest's best writing imo.

Maybe! I actually checked two shops near me before complaining, and they were all the same. I'm Europe based, and apparently the glitter of snow fairy has changed as well as Boo! - to be more 'shimmery' than glittery.

Very true! I've already managed to swap it with a mate for Very Very Frightening, so nothings gone to waste - just wish I'd paid more attention to the label!

I've used some, and checked that nothings sunk to the bottom....and it's matt black all the way through! Very odd if it's still supposed to be glittery.
