So much soap??
So, I guess I will start my blog off by talking a little bit about my soap making experience. I have made 4 soap batches so far. My first batch, was just plain. My second batch I experimented with scents and made a lemon, geranium, rosemary soap. My 3rd batch I experimented with color and made a light blue soap with “sea mist” as a scent(sea mist as a scent is created with bergamont, ylang ylang, and peppermint but I’ll talk about scents later on). My 4th batch was hand-milled soap instead of my usual lye soap. Hand milled soap is melted soap/soap shavings. I cut my 3rd batch to soon, making it crumble because it was hardened enough, so i used the crumbles and melted them down, added water as needed(to make sure the soap doesn’t burn in the pot) and now I have hand milled soap. It might seem like I must of studied soap or something! Well, I got a book called “soap and scent” which defiantly helped me learn so much about making cold-processed soap! If you are really interested in soap making, you should defiantly take at least a look at this book! I was trying to find a place to sell my soap. I contacted my local farmer’s market but they said “they don’t except crafts”. So, hopefully I’ll be able to find SOME place to sell all this soap of mine. This website was created to be a online journal for me to share my experience with soap, and share with you soap recipes/knowledge/skills/tips/tricks and maybe even someday i will be able to share my homemade soap with you! That’s right, someday I hope to sell my soap online to whoever would want it!
Ta Ta for now!
