This year I wanted to do a something different to the gingerbread man soap I have done in the past. So I went with a gingerbread girl instead. When making the gingerbread man in the past, I have found that adding all the details with soap dough is very time consuming. So this time I… Continue reading Gingerbread girls soap
I do not have many stories relating stockings by the fireplace. Fireplaces were something I used to see only in movies, since the tropical weather of El Salvador makes them unnecessary, and we were never encouraged to believe in Santa Claus so we never hung any stockings anywhere. However, my husband has a story that… Continue reading Fireplace Soap

In keeping with the color of sugarplums (a candy that does not necessarily have plums in it), I also used purple Brazilian clay as a colorant, but I was not very happy how… Continue reading Ballerina Soap

For me, it happened early on, I was making a peppermint scented soap and I did not have the right red colorant, so I used a dark red pigment which swirled with the white color, looked like a nice… Continue reading Peppermint soap
I find it curious how I (and I suppose other people) associate certain places or objects with the stories we may have been listening to, while performing activities there. For example, I was listening to an audiobook when driving in a specific road once, and whenever I drive there, I remember the chapter of the… Continue reading Pine tree Soap swirl (half)
I made this soap last year, as party favors for a birthday party. I was using a big water discount* (45% lye to water concentration), and a fragrance blend that usually accelerates, so my design options were limited to what I could do with a quick tracing soap batter.
