Handmade Paper- A How-To

Over at Crafting a Green World  Wenona Napolitano  wrote a great how-to on how to craft your own handmade paper! I used this to make some plantable paper for my soap tags (it's like you will be getting a free plant with your soap purchase!) She suggests to wait until your paper is in the molds, but I just threw them in the slurry pulp mixture AFTER it was blended. You can do what ever you think is best.

Magic Hour

Just finished cutting my Magic Hour Bar! Some sweet and some spice, I used a complex (thank goodness I wrote it down!) of 10 essential oils to make this wonderfully fragrant soap. Needless to say, I am GIDDY with excitement.

The Rolling Stone gathers no moss....

Happy to say after months of planning, testing, and figuring out a name, my stone has started to roll and is slowly but surely shaking off the gathered moss.

I started making handcrafted soap about six months ago as a hobby, and as a desperate attempt to help the very sensitive skin I am plagued with. I started out slow, but soon move into with a fever. I found the whole process, from the chemistry, math and recipe concocting invigorating. I thought to myself, "This is something I enjoy doing, and I happen to do this well."

With that thought, Yuffie Soaps (of course the name came much much later) was born.

I will be posting updates and how-to's here, and of course taking suggestions. So next up, a little bit about Yuffie Soaps, my ingredients and my process!

Glad you are here.
