I’ve been spending some quality time in the studio. I’ve been getting some requests and need to get set up to make some soap. During the winter holidays I did some work in the fiber corner, bringing some things inside and putting others on shelves out there.
It’s a great space, but lacking electricity and water services. I’ve been running a weatherproof cable out there and have the radiator space heater going while I work. I’ve set up a soaping area and have been digging through boxes to find the necessary equipment and ingredients. Oils? Check! Fragrance materials? Check? Colorants, plasticware, molds, cutters, tools, stick blenders, et al? Check check check. It’s enough to be getting on with.
Now for a snack and some hot coffee to take out there. Still getting dark early, so it won’t be for long, but I’ve been finding that taking one bite at a time is a sensible way to go.
