Pour / Pull Through Soap Technique This is my first time participating in a challenge from the Soapchallengeclub.com and I was very excited to try this. It has definitely stretched my soapmaking mind and I think it will open new design opportunities. The idea of the challenge is to pour the soap through a strainer… Continue reading Abstract Flowers Soap
This is my third attempt at a peacock feather soap, and it did not quite turn out how I wanted it. It is not as bad as my last attempt, but not exactly what I had pictured. The fragrance was a bad behaving child that continued her misbehavior even after the cure. What is worse,… Continue reading Peacock feather soap
I like making soap flowers, I feel they add a special touch to what otherwise would be a plain soap. (Nothing against plain soaps, though, I like those too). Here is how to make them by hand, though a mold/mould makes it soooo much faster. Here is a flower mold examplethat works with soap dough… Continue reading Making Soap Flowers
and painting on soap with a stamp.... I was inspired to make this soap while watching a movie at the theater, called The Death of Superman. It was a limited release movie, that only played (or may still be playing) in some theaters. Actually, it was a double feature, animated, followed by The Reign of… Continue reading Superman Soap
Floral fragrances are not on the top of my list, but this one is, because my hubby loves it. However, it is tricky working with most floral fragrances. This is because they tend to accelerate trace and the thickening of the soap. Now, most of my soaps trace and get thick pretty fast because of… Continue reading Cherry Blossom
Christmas went by and I did not get to make a soap with the frankincense and myrrh fragrance I had bought! I realized this early in January, and then I thought, well, the Three kings day is around the corner, and frankincense and myrrh is what they actually brought, so why not make it now?… Continue reading Three Wise Men Soap
I made this soap last year (it sounds like such a long time ago when you say that even if it is only January) for a friend whose birthday was in December and she told me she liked this fragrance. I had bought 1 lb of this fragrance earlier because it is one of my… Continue reading Apple Cinnamon Soap
This soap has been in the making since July! Well, that was when I made the embeds, the village. So I was happy to finally get to make the whole soap a couple of weeks ago. Every Christmas movie that I can remember watching has snow in it. Have you ever watched a Christmas movie… Continue reading Christmas Village Soap
Last year I made a peppermint soap that looked like this: Which, in a rose mold, is not that bad. However, picture it as a bar of soap, and you may be asking next, "how much for that piece of meat? It has good marbling, can I grill it?" However, the fragrance was soooo goood… Continue reading Peppermint Soap
This was supposed to be a soap where I got to try my alkanet oil infusion as a colorant. However, my fragrance oil had different plans. I used Merlot Wine from Bulk Apothecary and I got the darkest brown discoloration to date, which tells me it must have a vanilla content of at least 9%,… Continue reading Wine Fragrance Soap
