The Great Soap Experiment

Hello all!

 

I didn't have class today so I decided to use my free day catching up on some much needed product making. I know... on the most gorgeous day so far this season I decide to stay inside and make soap!

I've never made soap before and I honestly don't know how the whole experiment will turn out, but it was great fun either way!

This one has patchouli and bergamot essential oils, orange zest and a bit of ground cinnamon! I haven't decided on a name for it... if anyone has any suggestions please comment and send me an email!

Enjoy the sun!

Pine Needle Basket Project

Thanks to some inspiration from a former classmate of mine, I have undertaken the task the making a pine needle basket by hand. I will admit that at this point I am going for pure function - hopefully my next basket will be pretty :)

I've used the following website for instructions -Pine Needle Basket Instructions

If you go to the last page of instructions there is a link for a pdf file for the same set of instructions.

As my project progresses I will add more photos!

Wishing you good health,

Correne
