Soap making is something that grabs you and becomes addictive. There is just something about it, your own creation, excitement to see what it looks like as it is taken out of the wooden mould and cut into bars ready for drying. Trying new recipes and adding ingredients that give it gorgeous soft bubbles.
The ingredients assembled ready to be blended
Adding some finely ground oatmeal to the soap
Trace is Reached
The Soap is poured into the Mould
Here is a batch I made with Natural Green Clay,
Goats Milk and Oatmeal
A few others I have made, sometimes they can look good enough to eat.
I find it a very satisfying interest giving great pleasure making it using it and giving it as gifts to family and friends.
