Soap-making

I had my first attempt at soap-making last night.

Well… to be fair, I didn’t make the soap, as in, working with lye and oils.  I’d really like to try that someday, but I don’t really have the appropriate space in our apartment to do so yet.

What I did was work with some melt-and-pur soaps, essential oils, dye, and soap molds.

These are going to be gifts.  They’re round soaps with pieces of loofah embedded in them.  The loofah made me think of citrus fruits so I went for a citrus scent.  (I think I may have got it a bit too subtle because I was afraid of it being overpowering — oh well.)

Now I’m hooked.  I’ve been browsing Bramble Berry and Sweet Cakes considering what I’d like to try next!
