Wow... just lovely.  I love the Dinkie Turquoise Marine Life sculpture and that marble-resin ring and the dolly mixture clips and the resin bangles (esp the dark marble one) - very me.  You are a very gifted lady Lou  Smiley

Hope the scan went well.  I loved going for the scans.  I had one of those doppler scans, amazing.  A friend of mine had one of the 3D ones, just brilliant.  Hope he/she posed well for you (my boy posed as an upside down budah, very funny  :mwaha:)

Thanks guys, I stick to the silver now sells best. As you can see I like to try anything I can.

He is fine thankyou, 3 of my 5 scans now done (had to have 5 with Alexia too). They are a  bit over cautious but better to be safe than sorry.

cheers Lou

Best thing you can do re soap is to play around entering oils/butters into SoapCalc and look at the results on the Righthand column in the Lefthand box, and read the other pages, so that you can get a well balanced soap.

Check out that you have suitable bowls/pans.

Look at oil and butter prices.

Find something to use as a mould.

Rubber gloves and safety specs.

Stick blender if you have one (alternative is a long long long time stirring)

Make a couple of batches and decide whether you want to carry on.

(Sodium hydroxide = caustic soda = drain cleaner)
