Layered Melt and Pour Soap Projects

Love melt and pour soap making and are wondering how to make the wonderful layered soaps? Here is soap project from SoapPlace.com - Layered Soap Bars which will make the process alot easier for you. I have to be honest -I really like the combonation of opaque and clear layers. I will have to give this a try! My high school colors were orange, white and black. So I am thinking of making a orange creamsicle with a white opaque layer between two orange layers. Of course, I will have to scent orange. Or how about orange and vanilla? What do you think?

Loofah Cold Process Soap Tutorial

I have seen loofah in melt and pour soap but I have never seen it in a cold process bar before. If like the idea of having loofah in your soap to exfoliate your skin while you are taking a shower but you find it to be too scratchy? Anne-Marie (aka The Soap Queen) developed this loofah cold process soap recipe with a mild scrub in mind. This recipe is great because it has a nice gentle scrub on one side of the soap and it's silky smooth on the other.
