OT Soap making?

Ooh -sounds like you are having a fun time with the soapmaking etc!

And I totally understand the "tactile"part.

Hey guys, I just wanted to update and to thank you so much for your
helpful info about melt-and-pour stuff. My SO and I armed ourselves
with various soaps, e/o's, colors, and inserts and have been having a
ball. I've made probably 50 soaps already! I'm mostly dividing them
between decorative soaps (with flowers, designs, lots of fragrance),
and ones that are meant to be used (with healing ingredients like
honey, milk, oatmeal, what have you).

To whoever mentioned putting silk flowers in - it works beautifully
and looks gorgeous! Major thanks for that idea.

I also found a recipe for lotion bars, made with beeswax, olive or
sweet almond oil, and cocoa or shea butter. Lovely stuff, but MAN is
beeswax a pain to work with!

We're also doing bath salts, and possibly foot lotion. It's funny to
me that I've never been into crafts, but in the last year I've really
found myself enjoying the process of creating tactile things. I
haven't been able to afford beads for a bit, so this is a great
substitute for the crafting urge.
