Soapisticated Suds

This page is about hand made soaps, gifts, and novelties that I make for the enjoyment of others. All my soaps are made with care and expertise, start to finish. My premise is I make all my soaps myself. I'm a one person small business and prefer to have full control over what goes into my products. I love all the formulation, designing, making and presenting soap that is conditioning, skin-loving, smells good, feels great, and looks beautiful. I believe my soap is and does all of those things and I would love to share it with you! Please be my guest and browse my shop and see the assorted handcrafted soaps. When I first started making soap I quickly saw that everything and anything had potential to be soap. Like any type containers can be the mould to form a soap. I would be at a restaurant asking for a box for leftovers and look at the box thinking this would be a cute box for packaging my soaps. My head would spin with so many wonderful and exciting thoughts. At times I felt like a mad scientist rubbing my hands together and making the sounds with a grin on my face as they tend to do. As most soapmakers will tell you, making soap is an addiction. I got the bug. The hunt for the best ingredients, the planning of new designs, scents, shapes, the quest to formulate the best soap, and finally the magic of oil being turned into soap. The feel of lather on your skin are all things that make you want to make more. Soapmaking is a creative outlet and it's fun and difficult all in one. In soapmaking there are an unlimited number of variables to consider and play with. I've researched extensively to learn and consider the safety and quality points necessary to make my creations the best they can be. I keep my prices low because I want to keep things fair and I just enjoy being an artisan soap maker who loves to share with others. In other words, I'm happiest when I see my customers happy. Custom Books
I do also love making custom books for that special someone in your life. It's a rare craft and not many make these this type of thing because of the length of time it takes to create, mark, and complete. I can do words (names), dates, and some objects. I have quite a few listed on my Etsy shop. Although it's extremely time consuming from start to finish, it's enjoyable to me that someone is going to love my creation as much as I do.
