I finally did it! I've been wanting to learn to make soap for a long time now and the other day Jenn Beachy kindly invited me for a lesson. We had a lot of fun and I know a little more than I did before, but not much. I still wouldn't want to try this alone. As you see, it takes a lot of ingredients you maybe wouldn't have on hand normally. and then this "red devil lye" is a little scary. Please listen to the pros on this one. It requires expensive essential oils of your choice... and many different trays, bowls, cups, a scale that weighs things out by the ounce...etc.... many many tools. Here's some of the pretties we added. Two days later, I went back for a lesson in cutting it up. Soap like this needs a couple days to set up. Here's me, the professional at work. smile. Look at those beauties... This is the Wake-Up Bar. It has lavender oil and flower heads in it as well as mint leaves and pop...
