I also stopped by a supply shop and picked up my first round of materials for soap making, and will start experimenting this week! I'm excited. So far my first experiments will be with Eucalyptus, Lavender, Lemon, Tea Tree and Passionfruit (not all in the same one, however!) I'm starting simple with green and white coloring, and plain ol' box shapes. After I get the concoctions right, I'll step it up to more interesting shapes.
I'll let you know how they turn out, with pictures and all that good stuff. Happy New Year!
