cut it, and I am always excited to cut it, because it’s like a piece of artwork. It’s the product I enjoy making the most but they are time consuming. I actually make it in the garage, and when the kids aren’t around, because I am using lye – it’s quite dangerous to make soap, so you need eye-wear and gloves.
Soaps can be made using a hot or cold process; the hot process soaps can be made in a matter of hours because the soap is cooked, whereas the cold process can take 4-6 weeks before anyone can use it because of the saponification and curing process.
Charissa: The cold process is really beautiful and you can do a ton of designs because it is thinner, hot process is more of a rustic look. It depends some people prefer the designs and some prefer the chunkier, less deliberate look. I would love to be doing this full time, but I guess I will just see where it goes.
