Creative
people have a lot of ways to express themselves. A part of them like to makes stuff from scratches. Those DIY people (Do It Yourself) are really
independent on some level. They seems
able to furnish a whole apartment with almost nothing. They seems to master many crafting arts.
I can
reclaim a small part of this trend. I
am not as crafty as many DIYers I am
not a jack of all trade in the world of crafting. I only have a few chords to my bow. One of those cord is soap making.
I am not an
experienced soap maker. I still have a
lot more knowledge and experience to acquire.
I just started to make soap from scratch. I do have a few trick in my hand. I have much more experience with soap bases. It is the door that many soap maker takes at
their beginning.
What I like
in soap making are the essential oils.
I put many of those oils in my soap.
I like to read and learn about their properties. I have a soft spot on mixing them to obtain
maximum result. I like to make blends. For example, I had developed one for eczema
and one antiseptic. My blends have a
specific purpose. I also have specific
people in mind when I develop a new blend.
I often
give my soap to family members as Christmas or birthday gifts. Homemade gifts are always well
received. It is what I have
experienced. I think often about how a
mad scientist I can be while doing soap.
There are a sense of experimentation that put me in that state of
mind. It gives me a sense of
power. People around me don’t know the
making of this art. They are just
receiving the pretty end of the process.
The rest have an aura of secrecy.
This is why I end up thinking of being a mad scientist. I mix and have fun. I am happy when a blend turn out the way I
wanted.
