Hello
I I first made soap in 1999. I have always loved good soap but it never occurred to me that I could make my own until I was given a soapmaking kit by a work colleague at a Christmas function in 2000.
This absolutely fascinated me and from that point I was pretty much addicted. I spent hours looking at handmade soap websites, reading library books on making soap and checking out soap stalls at markets.
It took a long time for me to pluck up the courage to have a go.
I wish I had kept some of those early soaps. They were so awful compared to what I make now.
But, I was so excited the first time I washed my hands with my own soap. It worked! There were suds!
This website is as much for my sake as for the viewer's interest. I have made so many soaps and I forget what I have done and the results of the colouring, scenting and creative techniques I have used.
So, I hope to put photos here of my soaps. Ones I have made long ago and liked, and current ones.
