Hello everyone. I am super excited to have found a forum that actually seems to be active for soap making. Forums used to be the go to for online learning but they seem to be less as much these days.
I started making soap about 2 months ago and am still trying to come up with a "go to" recipe. I have bought homemade soap for years and decided I'd like to try it myself! I am still learning that soaping is chemistry. My worst science subject in school next to physics.
BUT, I am having a BLAST with it!
I have been a traditional artist most of my life but I also enjoy textile arts in the form of quilt making, photography (my first ever art love), mixed media, watercolor/acrylic painting, and now have added soap making to my already way too long list of arts and crafts hobbies. I really need a "She Shed" so my husband will quit rolling his eyes at the number of Amazon, Nurture Soap, Elements Bath & Body, and all similarly related shop's boxes, that mysteriously
end up on my front porch so often. (Is it bad that sometimes it's like Christmas because I've forgotten that I ordered something and what it is?)
I look forward to meeting other soap makers, both experienced and inexperienced, while I learn this super addictive craft!
I am too nervous to share my soap fails just yet so I thought I'd share my first pretty ones. In order of make. Thank you for having me! I'm super excited to see everyone's soaps and to learn from you all!
