Poem at Otion's Cold Process Soapmaking Class
Poem and I took a cold process soapmaking class at Otion on Saturday. I like working with the Palm and Coconut bases and especially like the Shea butter. Picking out the fragrance oils and adding the mica and oxide coloring powders is the most creative part. The lye beads are a little scary. I am really sensitive to cleaning agents and when I began to scrape the lye/water mixture, I couldn’t stop coughing. If I decide to start making soap, I am going to have to do that part out on the deck where the toxic fumes won’t be a problem.

Something I’ve wanted to do for some time is learn how to make soap, so I’ve signed up for a Cold Process Soap Making Class at Otion October 18th. Bubblelicious.
