Soaping Soap Queen Style!




Today I watched some Soap Queen videos and got motivated to do some soaping.  I tried her soap stamp project and found it a lot more difficult than she makes it seem.  Here is my final product but it didn't turn out exactly like her masterpiece.  I call it Friendship soap.

My newest soap adventure!




This is one of my new favorite soaps it is "White Tea & Ginger" cold process soap made with Olive & Coconut oils.  When I first smelled this scent I thought it was too strong but after soaping it in cold process soap it toned down and actually smells just perfect...not too strong but you can smell each note perfectly.  I wanted to have a swirl of pink and yellow but a nice fluffy top and this is what I got(see picture).  I got a thick trace for the fluffy top but because the soap was so thick I couldn't get it to swirl as I originally planned.  I did end up liking this one  which goes to show that sometimes mistakes turn out better than when we try to control everything.
