I like making an ocean or beach themed soap every summer. This year, however, I did not want to repeat any of my past ocean soap designs, and did not want to represent the sand either, the way I did with the Seashell soap or the sea life soap. I wanted this soap to be… Continue reading Making a Wave Soap
Last year, I had to take a crash course on making soap with a PVC pipe as a mold. I confess that I never liked the idea of a round soap, so I had not bothered to learn. However, I have learned they make great hand soaps, in an ergonomic kind of way. In the… Continue reading Making a Heart Soap in a PVC pipe
Sometimes I wonder if I am determined or simply stubborn when it comes to certain projects. I do value time, so I usually give up when I feel I am wasting it and nothing seems to be working out. After all, I did abandon a Christmas tree pull screen idea after three or four failed… Continue reading My seventh attempt at a Snowflake Soap
The place was a palace in England. The year? anywhere between 1543 and 1603. The request? "You shall make biscuits that look like my guests, so that they shall eat their own likeness at the party".

In last week video (the design fail) I sneaked a koala embed with a Santa hat. He was originally part of this Koala soap loaf but there was not room for him there. (I like to make extras just in case). So here is the rest of the gang. This soap is scented with a… Continue reading Koala Soaps

And this is the first time I am blending the Coffee Beans fragrance with Vanilla and Spice, to make it a sort of fall theme soap. I usually do not make fall themed… Continue reading Pumpkin Coffee Soap
Last year when I participated in the Pour/Pull screen soap challenge, I was intrigued by the results of one of the participants , it looked like a peacock tail to me (picture below) so I decided to make a pull screen similar to it, but for an oval mold. The plan was to do an… Continue reading Ghost Peacock Soap in oval mold
I bought a fragrance that I thought (and I was not the only one) that it smelled like Play doh. The fragrance has since been discontinued, and I have actually found people who do like it and it smells sweet and almond like for them, but each nose is different! I thought that it would… Continue reading Geometric Soap – Color Blocking
The first time I attempted to make a lamb embed, was for a Christmas soap that has not come to be yet. I was not very happy with how the lamb turned out, so I put it to the side and did not remember it until I was watching a show a few months back.… Continue reading The making of Little Lambs Soap – Cold process
Pina Colada Soap I had the opportunity to visit Puerto Rico when my brother was studying there and we attended his graduation. PiƱa Coladas were very popular and could be found anywhere (even from some street vendors or food trucks). The non alcoholic version of course, and this soap reminded me of that. By the… Continue reading Pina Colada Soap
