Makeover

Ah, my soap studio.  It should be a haven of creativity, but for the last few months it's been a center of farmer's market chaos and the everlasting soap scraps.  Y'know, the little ends and bits that I want to test but I can only test so many at a time so they're all lined up. 

I decided to do a mini-makeover--painting.  Sometimes just a little thing like that can make a load of difference.

Here is the before picture. (I purposely left a mess for a more dramatic contrast!)  The picture doesn't show it well, but the walls were a pinkish-peach color with metallic gold stencil trim.  Not bad, but it was old and needed a new look--one that was more "me."

And ta-da!  The after picture.  No shock to anyone who knows me that it's green.  And I sorted through every little thing, got rid of what I didn't use, and streamlined my supplies and equipment so I'm more efficient and stress-free.  Nice thought, anyway. And look, the color even matches my scale (on the shelfby the radio)!
And what do you do with a clean kitchen?  Make a huge mess, of course.

    How great that you have your own little soaping space!!! I'm still in my kitchen, and dining room, and breakfast area, and basement, and...oh yes, the living room too. :) Love the new look!! I hope it stirs much creativity and happiness. :)

    Love it, it's nice and tidy and I like the green colour. Your inspiring me to do some cleaning now. Oh how I know the joys of market chaos where you are making new product and then scrambling to get it all packaging and packed up and find your workshop looks like a disaster zone.

    Yep, same as Amy W., I'm in my study room, kitchen, garage, living room & my bed room. It'd be a dream to have everything in ONE room... well, just keep going & dreaming hard :)

    I totally love it!! And I'm totally jealous! I wish I had a space just for soaping. What heaven that would be. Maybe someday. Heck I,d be happy to get it in one room..lol. Until then I will admire the space of others :) I really like the green. I have been thinking of that color when we remodel the main bathroom.

    I had no idea that so many of you talented soapers don't have rooms set aside for all your "stuff"....how do you do it?!?! My room is actually bigger--this is just one side of it. It's hard enough to contain everything, even with a specified room!!!

Soaping with Madder

I know that any color added to soap can morph into a surprise, but there is an added element of unknown when using botanicals to color my soap.  Some people jump out of planes or ski off mountains, but this is how I live on the edge these days.  Hmm.  If I weren't having so much fun, I'd be embarrassed. I recently had my first go with madder.  So....whatsa madder?  It's a root--the root of the madder. Ahem. (I love puns...) I infused 8 oz. of olive oil with 2 t. madder root powder for almost a week.  This amount worked out to be 20% of the oils in my batch. I wanted something in the way of embeds to add visual interest.   I dearly love my soap balls but I don't want to over do a good thing.  I've recently done square-shaped embeds, so this time I cut a bar of white soap into slices. I panicked a little that it wouldn't get dark enough--it was kind of a dusty peach--so I added 1/4 t. dried powder right before pouring. Madder powder can get a little

Loofah--from vine to soap

If you've followed my blog for a long time, you've already seen a post on one of my favorite things to grow--loofah, but I think it's time for another one.  People are often surprised when they learn that loofahs are grown.  No, a loofah isn't a sea sponge, but the mature "skeleton" of a zucchini-like plant.  Everyone knows they are good for the bath but they also make great natural pan scrubbers in the kitchen.  They are so popular that I have to remember to tuck away any that I want to keep myself. I raise three or four plants every year.  Like a zucchini or a cucumber, it likes to spread out with little regard to another plant's personal space.  Here is last year's crop. Early in the summer, the loofahs remained neatly on the trellis: But then they wandered over to the basil: Cozied among the tomatillos: And hung out with the butternut squash: Harvest time was a regular treasure hunt.  But I ended up with about 20 loofahs fr

Soap Challenge--Piping

I'm jumping into Amy W's soap challenge here in week 3--piping soap.  I chose to make a version of a batch I made last year--my Sweet Pea scented soap.  It was really popular for me last summer so why mess with a success? Some soapers assume that piping soap means that it must be whipped, but it's not necessary to whip it first.  When I don't want the whipped look (or more frequently, don't want to clean beaters) I just let it sit until it thickens up on its own.  (By the way, don't you adore these itty-bitty dishes?  I just bought them a few weeks ago. A set of four cost $1 at the Dollar Tree!) I used a Wilton tip #3 to make the little squiggles. I added tip #103 sweet peas and made leaves with a # 352 tip. One thing I love about piping soap....it never leaves even a trace of ash to spoil the design.   And then I took lots of pictures (it was a rather photogenic batch).  Here are a few-- These will be cured enough to have them at t
