Welcome

Soap making is a fun and exciting hobby, full of trial and tribulations! When you create soap you are creating art, each one is different, never the same. An addicting hobby.... once you get started all you think about is what kind of soap to make next. This blog is about my soaping experience please enjoy!

A good recipe!

Okay so I am catching up a little here no pictures ....but my bible has been Sandy Maines, The Soap Book. Her book uses the same ingredients for the soap base and then gives recipes using different scents and oils. I love this book! Its so simple: I'll give it to you....

24 oz olive oil
24 oz coconut oil
38 oz Crisco All Vegetable oil (I use the new w/palm)
12 oz lye
32 oz distilled water

At trace add your Fragrance Oils, Essential Oils your colours if you are marbling your clays or ground exfoliants. mix and put into your molds. I find her book so easy to follow for us beginners! check her out on the web www.sunfeathersoaps.com

*Note* it is always good to check your recipe before you start with www.soapcalc.com
for exact measures. Its easy to follow!

Till next time Happy Soaping!

(Now I am in a panic cause I don't know what I did with her book...Its somewhere in my soap piles I've got going on) I hope!
