Soap Carving
There is a huge selection of moulds available for any soap maker to choose from. Many a time a soap maker would like to make something that is original. I would not consider myself artistic but sure do try my hand at anything. I was recently asked to make a soap of a belly dancer, the first few attempts were awful to say the least. But I found carving on soap really great because I can rub off mistakes.
I will continue with the belly dancer today and show you step by step how it can be done as I go along.
See you!!!

Soap making…a form of art
What I like about the hobby of soap making….it is an art, better still you can become creative with smells, textures and label designs.

Make your own coloured, fragranced Bath Salts
You will need 1 kg Bath salts – course / refined. (available from Fun with Soap) -R3.00
The drier the salt the better. If the salt is a bit to wet and you give the salts away as a gift the salts sometimes…sink as moisture evaporates from the salt.
Bath Salt Colouring – available in sachets – R5.00 per colour.
Fragrance
Simply add a tiny tiny amount of colouring to the salt, add a approx 8 drops fragrance and mix well.
Store in an attractive bottle, cellophane bag, or organza bags.
Really easy to make and not an expensive product to make.
