Soap opera
Sep. 2nd, 2011 12:15 amA few days ago, I decided the time to make more soap had come. ( And so I made a beautiful soap with the most expensive of oils. )
But this is not a tale with a happy ending. As is so often the case, the soap turned out to be gorgeous, but ill-mannered; it thumbed it's nose at me, sneered evilly, and separated.
Argh.
Usually I start again from scratch at this point. But because I used very expensive oils, and because I made a very large batch in my hubris, I melted the soap down instead. There was much cursing and despair, but I did manage to save it - though it is now so soft it will probably take months to dry to the point where it won't melt away at the first touch of water.
( But alas, the soap has changed. )
...
Yeah.
