Explaining Lye...I nailed it..lol

[Martin]

First off if this is in the wrong place Mods please move.

When I first joined this forum some one posted a story on how lye and fats make soap by using drawings of wolves(lye) sheep(fats) and bunnies(soap) I thought it was cute and printed it out. Going thru some papers I found it and put it in a folder.
Getting ready for a craft show I found the folder and thought what the heck I'll take it with me. Sure enough a lady with 3 kids states she does not use soap with lye in it. Boy do I have a story for you with pictures.
By the time I was done with the story the kids were yelling they wanted the bunny soap...She bought 10 bars.

You and me both, I agree with onug haha. :eh: I can see how it would be cute but the fanciful transformation of dead things into live things and all the numbers make me feel :crazy:. ;-)

[judymoody]

This is great! I'm going to have my first soap lesson with my gardening kids in a few weeks and this will be a wonderful way to explain the process in a way that they will understand. Don't worry, not making real soap with them. We are using M&P and adding ingredients from our garden...ie loofah, lavender..etc.

Love the explanation!

 

[savonierre]

That is outstanding..

Yay for bunnies, wolves, and collies! You're so creative. I shall make it my life mission to teach people about bunnies and wolves. I mean, soap.
