My username is the same as my company name (hence my avatar/logo). The name came from my love of gaming, old school tabletop where I began in the 80's playing D&D, and console where I'm a fantasy RPG addict. So anyway, I wanted to combine my soap art with gaming somehow and just couldn't come up with a company name to save my life. Then one night while playing Skyrim on my Xbox, my character shot off a few fire and lightning spells at some bandits (she's a mage, aka magic user), the name came to me as fast as her fireballs hit those nasty bandits! Soap Mage. It fit perfectly! It also fits in with my company brand as a whole since I also love history, and all things middle ages/medieval, especially alchemy. Alchemy is basically transforming something wonderful and useful from practically nothing or something mundane like iron to gold. And what is soap making? The transformation of plain old oils into something useful and sometimes beautiful! So anyhoo, that's my boring story of how I conjured up my name, and it means a lot to me.

[QUOTE="soapmage, post: 520634, member: 19070"] My username is the same as my company name (hence my avatar/logo). The name came from my love of gaming, old school tabletop where I began in the 80's playing D&D, and console where I'm a fantasy RPG addict. So anyway, I wanted to combine my soap art with gaming somehow and just couldn't come up with a company name to save my life. Then one night while playing Skyrim on my Xbox, my character shot off a few fire and lightning spells at some bandits (she's a mage, aka magic user), the name came to me as fast as her fireballs hit those nasty bandits! Soap Mage. It fit perfectly! It also fits in with my company brand as a whole since I also love history, and all things middle ages/medieval, especially alchemy. Alchemy is basically transforming something wonderful and useful from practically nothing or something mundane like iron to gold. And what is soap making? The transformation of plain old oils into something useful and sometimes beautiful! So anyhoo, that's my boring story of how I conjured up my name, and it means a lot to me. :) [/QUOTE]
