I’m getting really excited about today’s Great Soap Experiment! Talk about a small bath though, I’m only making four bars. Well, I didn’t know if it was going to turn out the way I wanted it to, so I didn’t want to go crazy with the supplies (which are always limited). I have enough of all the components though to make more, maybe another 12 bars. If I end up liking it enough, which I think I will.

Whether or not anyone else is going to like it or not, I can’t say. I’m calling it Summer Day, so naturally I am using Fresh Cut Grass and Dirt as scents. I doubt there’s a huge audience for that. I don’t really care though. My soap is more than soap. It’s more like artsy soap. Consider that I have spent all this time today on four bars, and I am not done yet (waiting for a layer to cool). So the next time you see some fancy handmade soap with layers and inclusions and other artsy features, remember that a lot of care and attention went into making it before you whine about how much more expensive it is compared to Dove. Ok?

I better get back to it. Hopefully the next layer won’t ruin the whole thing. I’m trying something new, and sometimes these things don’t work out. The good news is it always smells nice and it will still get you clean … even if it doesn’t look quite as expected.
