All Things Hold Together

I realized that I never posted pictures of my cold process soap.

For my first trial, I did not use any fragrance or color. Those additives can change the rate of the chemical reaction, so I decided to do a naked batch first. It kind of smells like fried food, though. I think there was too much excess oil for super-fatting. It is rich and creamy, but too oily smelling.

I used stamps from a stepping stone kit to make the “soap” imprint.

The funny thing is, now that I have all the stuff to make cold process, I have a revived passion for the melt-and-pour. It is not related. I had a great time making the CP. I want to do it again. It’s just that I have some new ideas for the melt/pour.

I also have some new MP soaps that I want to post pictures of, but I can’t find my camera.
