| This is the soap I entered into February's Great Cakes Soapworks challenge. https://soapchallengeclub.com It is a combination of both melt and pour (MP) soap and cold process (CP) soap. CP is which is what I usually make. The bunny and heart embeds are MP, the rest is CP. |
 |
| These flowers are showing up in all my creations this month! A sign of spring fever, I'd say. |
 |
This luxury soap was made with the help of my husband, Jimmy.
We blended his sculpting skills with my special recipe of
Dandelion infused Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Castor Oil, Coconut Oil,
Palm Oil, and Olive Oil. It is lighted scented with the essential oils of
May Chang, Lavender, and Patchouli for a deep rich note.
Kaolin Clay and a few micas add extra interest!

 |
| Jimmy in his sculpting workshop working on my "special order" for a clay model in preparation for making a silicone mold in which to pour soap batter. |
 |
| Here is the silicone mold he made, with a plaster support and rubber bands to hold it together. |
 |
| Jimmy agreed to help me make this special soap for the Soap Challenge Club's January contest in which the idea is to collaborate a soap design and recipe with a partner. |
 |
| Jimmy has been somewhat interested in my soap making passion, in fact he did ask for a sandalwood soap for his use. He seemed to enjoy helping me make soap for this project. |
 |
| One of the most enjoyable aspects of soap making is the cutting of the soap, in this case, however, what a joy to un-mold this soap!! It worked! |
 |
| Two Artists are better than one. Especially if one has a pencil behind his ear. Thank You Jimmy! |
 |
| The planning, designing, creating, cutting and the using of soap is a continuing source of delight to me! This will batch will be ready to use around Valentine's Day. |
