Teach Soap

Hi all!

I have been lurking for quite some time, in fact I've looked at ALL 201 pages on this thread! You are all so amazing! Some of the things you do with soap is truly remarkable.

I've only been making soap for about a month, but I'm kind of obsessed with it at this point. I've been making recipes from the book Soapmaking the Natural Way.

I started out with what looked easy!

Vanilla & Brown Sugar



Lavender (I learned something about how to get objects to suspend in soap!)





And I was so eager to share this that I took a picture before I unmolded! Lemon Bars! I LOVE the way these turned out!

I forgot to add the Lemon Poppyseed "Muffins"!

Beautiful soaps, AriaGirl! Glad to have you with us!

I started to make this at 5 am in the morning.. hard time sleeping and its a long story for another day. but this is my take on chunk soap. I like recycling stuff. go green. added some glitter voilet to the pastal purple. and put two soap together looks good I think . OH the scent is lavender.

I love the shimmery look of your lavender!

My crinkle cutter arrived today!! It was the longest wait to cut this soap up, but I'm so glad I waited for the crinkle cutter. And I am SO IN LOVE with how it's turned out!! It's exactly like I had imagined, looks exactly like I wanted. I almost don't want to sell any of these bars lol!

Scent is Sea Breeze. The goal was to make it look like the ocean - waves, moving water, the froth that happens (white caps), etc. I am SO happy with it!

Looks like you've been busy, AriaGirl! Yours soaps are gorgeous - I especially like the color and the wavy cut of the Vanilla and Brown Sugar. I have "Soapmaking the Natural Way," too, and it's such a beautiful book.

Pretty Lavender chunk bars, Melissa! The colors are beautiful, and I like the glittery tops. Bet they smell great!

Coolah, your Sea Breeze soap turned out perfectly! I love the crinkle cut, too, and your swirly layers are so pretty. The tops look like frothy waves. Great job!
