MP CP Combination Soap–a Tutorial …

and a competition.

I am so very competitive. I love to play games and compete against others and myself. I also like to win. So when I saw this post from Amy Warden at Great Cakes Soap Works I knew I had to buck up and enter. I have been wanting to try this technique for some time but have been so busy with Christmas production that I thought I would wait and try it in December. I am so glad I got a push and a reason to try it sooner. Thanks Amy. I had a lot of fun and am REALLY happy with the result.

So the competition is to make a soap with a combination of MP and CP. You can win a 5lb wooden mould and silicone liner …. oh dream away. So I spent a few hours thinking of what I wanted to do. I have wanted to make soap with blues and greens ever since my last batch did not turn out very well. I used it for re-batch. You can see the post here.

I have made a video and posted on YouTube but here are a few pics to whet your appetite.

You may remember my training I did in the Eastern Cape here and here.

Well I recently got a mail from Lucy who says the ladies are going from strength to strength and will soon be expanding their range.

Well done ladies you have done an amazing job.

You may remember my post about making soap with my Dutch relatives. Well little Mees had so much fun he bought a kit to take home and he and his Mom sent me a picture of his creation that he made with the kit.
