Hello everyone!
Today I will start with the presentation of my handiwork - making soap from glycerin.
In addition, I also make decorative candles from wax and paraffin, jewelry from epoxy resin, casting figures and boxes from plaster, decoupage, bracelets.
I started doing handicrafts very early, knitting, crocheting, and embroidering tapestries, even in elementary school. That love continued throughout my life and developed more and more with my vocation, that is, the work I do - I am a teacher.
Well, now let's move on to what I did today.
From the white glycerine base, I poured many figurines into small molds. The procedure is simple. Glycerin melts in steam and must never boil. Then I pour essential oil of different scents into it, and then natural color powder goes in.
Mix everything together nicely and pour into small molds. Don't be surprised by the chaos on my desk, because when I get caught up in this creative wonder, so does my apartment.
When the small soaps have set, I take them out of the mold and leave them in a cooler room.
I put small soaps in large molds and cover them with transparent glycerine, for which the melting process is the same, except that I do not add color, but only scented oils. I usually use lavender, orchid, jasmine, mango, lemon, strawberry, magnolia and white tea scents. At the customer's request, I also use other scents.
This is what it looks like when I make big soaps.
And here they are, done. Now all that remains is for them to dry a little, for a couple of days, and they are ready to be packed and sold. In addition to the small soaps, which are in the large ones, I sometimes put some other addition in the mold, a cube, a marble, some stars, rhinestones. It all depends on my mood, but also on the order.
I hope you like my soaps, but that's just a small part of what I did today.
Other soaps, but also everything else that I make, I hope you will be happy to look at in the following posts.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
