What I love about soap making

[yadonm]

One of the things I love about soap making is that every time you cut a new loaf it's like opening a present. It can be something you've made before using the same fragrances, formula, techniques, and colorants but no too are the same. Last time I made this it looked like a piece of Jade but this time it looks something totally different. Not sure what I will call this one. Any ideas?

I so agree. I love cutting into my soapies and seeing what kind of suprise is inside. I love your soap I make one with similar colors. I don't have a good enough imagination to make up names for my soaps.

I love to give them names. I'm ok, right? I mean that's not crazy.

If they have people names, then I think that is at least borderline

I name mine, unimaginative things like "Pine Tar # 2" but then my "Lard Soap # 1" raised a few eyebrows

nah, yer absolutely not crazy i like to give names to my soaps too, albeit strange ones, lol

looking at yours makes me wanna do another hanger swirl. i've not done it for a long time. mine is a similar color combo to yours too, except for the yellow for which i replaced with white.

I'm from California but have lived in Rhode Island and Western New York for the last 30 years. Last week I named a soap "California Dreaming ."

This is beautiful. It reminds me of corn fields or wild sunflowers. I like that you name your soap - makes it so personal.

Cutting swirled soaps is so exciting!

Soap name: Spring!

It looks so perfectly like leaves that an artist could have painted it!

It doesn't seem to matter how long you've been making soap, cutting into a freshly unmolded log is always exciting. Lovely soap, by the way!
