We have soap!

So the soap making has started full force, and my studio is filled with the heavenly smell of vervain, calendula, shea butter, and lemon.

This is my favorite ritual of late Summer/early Fall, which gives the soap plenty of time to cure before I start selling it for the holidays. I am cutting the bars a bit thicker this year.

I am still using the end cuttings from last years' batch. Maybe I should be making them thinner!

But I just like the chunky feel of the larger bars in the hand. Keep a look out for when they are in my Etsy shop.
