My favorite character from the little prince book is the fox. I like foxes in general, a couple years ago I tried making a fox figurine. I was going to buy it, but the one that I liked the most was too pricey (for me) and I did not care for the antique look of… Continue reading The fox from The Little Prince Soap
and my wedding dress story... I am often reminded that I need to be selective of what I watch, because I am easily influenced by it. And I am not the only one. That is why I cannot watch horror films, my mind seems to record the scary images, and brings them back to me… Continue reading Say yes to the soap dress: My wedding dress story
When I was younger, like high school age, I attended a vocational school that allowed me to take high school classes at the same time as technical Bilingual secretarial studies. A vital part of the uniform were nude color pantyhoseās and shoes with a small heel. I remember the pantyhoseās being annoying, and they would… Continue reading Fishnet stockings soap and soap stenciling

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.

So I have gotten to practice my post decorating skills a lot. It is actually very easy. Especially if you have soap dough… Continue reading Embellishing Soap
I am really happy about how this soap turned out! Especially after a failed attempt at this idea. When I participated in the ghost swirl challenge last month, I decided to make a second soap for the bonus category (in it, colorants could be used). Because I thought I could try this pine tree swirl… Continue reading Pine Tree TP Divider Swirl 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
