A while back, I made some soap dough* colored with turquoise mica (The mica in question I do not remember, but it was either Synergy mica or Sea green mica from Nurture Soap). For the longest time, I did not know what to make with it. So I ended up using most of it for… Continue reading Soap turquoise gems
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

Every Christmas movie that I can remember watching has snow in it.Ā Have you ever watched a Christmas movie… Continue reading Christmas Village Soap
The Story of my Lavender Mud Soap (Sigh) It happened. Again. The last time I was afraid of having a lye heavy soap, a fragrance was the culprit (though I was to blame too) I have since learned to be careful with floral fragrances and acceleration. This time is on me! I decided to experiment… Continue reading Lavender Mud Soap and Is my soap lye heavy?
This was supposed to be a soap where I got to try my alkanet oil infusion as a colorant.Ā However, my fragrance oil had different plans.Ā 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
