Hi and welcome to my very first soap blog.....
My name is Jenny and this blog was created as a result of my love
for soap making. I began crafting in 2006
not long after my son was born. I am a
relatively new starter to the world of soap making and, and started off by
making lip balms when I spotted some lovely simple kits on Ebay. This then progressed onto the art of
soap making. This was an exciting new chapter in my crafting life as I started making soaps seriously from about 2014.
My soaps are generally made using the Melt & Pour method. However more recently I have ventured into Cold Process soap making.
In brief, M&P is a 'safer' method whereby it's a basic case of adding scent and colorant to a pre-made soap base. On the other hand, the CP method involves the use of sodium hydroxide (lye). The process that turns the lye solution into soap when it comes into contact with the oils in CP soap making is called 'Saponification'. CP soap making is a little more risky as you're working with caustic soda which can be extremely dangerous if not handled correctly. Therefore - the instructions used for making soap need to be adhered to very carefully if using the CP method.
I have experimented and even managed to get some of my recipes assessed and my crafting mojo has gone from strength to strength!!
In general, the best thing I love about soap making is that you get to choose what goes
in your soap.
The main aim of this blog is to share with you my creations - not only
that , I hope you enjoy looking at my ideas and perhaps take on board some ideas for your own use. Also do please feel free to comment underneath with any feedback etc. you might have.
