It always feels good to be using your hands and producing something useful, especially if the ingredients were things you thought did not have a purpose. I admire people who make art out of what others throw away. It’s not the same, but we made soap this week. We did use good oils. After very little time stirring our alkaline witch broth, it turned into a funny-colored thick goo. Now it needs to rest for a few weeks and age and soon we can try out our homemade soap.
