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!

Tiger Paw

Love these! 

Going through my goodies of ingredients I came up with an odd combination I thought at the time.  Licorice and Strawberry.  I mixed equal parts of the fragrance  together and it came out delightful.  I just wanted to make soap.  So I put my oils and lye together and thought of calling this one a licorice twist.  After thinking I was going to swirl it with a red and black I chose coral lab colour instead and activated charcoal because the smell was reminding me of something else.  Tiger Paw ice cream!!! I spooned it into a Pringles can and here's a photo of that. 
It turned out pretty good and smells amazing. I used my basic recipe of olive, coconut, palm, castor, shea butter.  Sodium hydroxide, distill water and coconut milk powder.  After 12 hours here's the result 
They look like tiger paws and they smell like the ice cream.  Another great day in the soap kitchen.  I'll sell these for $6.50 each.  Cdn thanks for stopping in.  Bye till next time have a bubbly day!!

Camoflauge Wedding Favours

Here's the results and the favour wrapping by the bridesmaids and the moms. 
For my son Saire and his new wife Jasmine.  Such outdoors people.  I was asked to make Camoflauge soaps with Bug B Gone to hand out to their wedding guests.  Girls and guys so I made the green and brown and black with red and pink.  
Maid of honor Ashley Denver
Brides mother my bestest friend Lori Jarvis from Light Sense Soy Candles. 
Mandy tying up a favour box one soap one tea light candle 
Me and my father in law Ed Wilson. 

We had fifty boxes to put together 
Here's the box of fifty camo soaps I turned one around so you could see the hot pink camo.  I added pink and purple metallic curl ribbon and yellow satin ribbon to each soap favour and glued on glitter accents to each yellow ribbon.  Took forever to wrap all fifty.  Well worth the effort. 
Blinky!!! 
Here's the soap after bring poured, so cool. 
My son and bride jasmine!!! 08/08/2015!!!! Love them both and wish them all the happiness in the world.  I have taken almost a month off from soaping between working and wedding prep.  I have been anxiously waiting to get back to normal.  It's work but marriage comes first and this was an honour. Thanks for reading.  Bye for now
