Okay, I am officially deciding that making soap will be a part of my retirement plan.
My soaps are really really primative looking. Although I have an art background, I am not at all good at conventional design. Right now I couldn't make a pretty swirly soap if my life depended on it.
I do feel I have nailed a basic understanding of ingrediants and oils (I started in April, this year)...so I am a super newbie. I think I have a basic understanding of my local offline market.
I have at least 25 recipes I've tried. Lard is my favorite medium. I will be ordering tallow. I love the orange of unrefined palm and citrus eo. My all veggie recipe base extremely limited. My coloring, cutting and molds experience are still in the toddler stage. Limited success with td and micas, never tried anything else, I have one rippled soap cutter, and my favorite mold is a pyrex casserole dish and a DTV recorder box.
I will be ordering at least 4 bulk oils, some fo's...but I'm still too cheap to buy a loaf mold yet....
what do you guys see in my future? What should I be doing next? what should I attempt to master that will put be on the road to more professionalism as a soap maker?
